Casinos (except Casino Hotels)

NAICS 713210 · Amusement, Gambling and Recreation Industries · SBA size standard: $34 million average annual receipts

Casinos run table games, slot machines, poker rooms and sports books on a 24-hour floor schedule. Specialists turn regulatory and operational data into shift schedules, floor plans and compliance checklists, convert patron inquiries into verified reservations and comps, transform game performance metrics into reorder and maintenance lists, and keep cage, count room and surveillance logs current. Game rules, credit limits, minimum bets and all licensing decisions stay with the operator.
