With the Durango Casino & Resort set to open in just three months and with the finishing touches currently underway, the owner of said casino-resort, Station Casinos, has revealed that they’re now looking to hire potential workers for the upcoming November 20th opening, a total of 1,200 workers.
New recruitment website:
The reveal comes at the same time as the latest recruitment website, which is accessible in both Spanish and English. However, the owner of Durango spares no expense when it comes to finding the right employees, so it also unveiled an unusual commercial about the entire recruitment process, which is good, because in this way it already shows possible employees what it is like to work in the mentioned environment.
The benefits are certainly covered:
During said commercial, there is a man who says that “the environment is friendly and comes with all kinds of benefits, including free health care for employees and their family members who make less than $100K per year.” Furthermore, among the benefits, there is also a paid company retirement, as well as dental and medical centers for workers.
Among the positions available, there are slot attendants, housekeeping, public area porters, table games dealers, security and food and beverage front of house and back of house. However, Station Casinos has once again been awarded the title of “Top Casino Employer” by Nevada’s Top Workplaces, making it a winner for the third year in a row.
Application process:
For all those who are interested in the aforementioned job positions, they may send their applications to the two company’s websites, because the recruitment process will not be carried out at any personal job fair:
- getajobatdurango.com – for English language;
- trabajaendurango.com – for Spanish language.
As for the 15 restaurants scheduled to open inside the casino-resort, the hiring process will start in the coming weeks and will include “job listings sent from the Durango job site.”
Layout of the Durango Casino & Resort:
The company began construction of the casino-resort in March 2022 and invested $750 million. Among other things, the Durango will have 211 rooms, an 83,000-square-foot casino, four unique restaurants, a group of bars and lounges and an 11-unit food hall. In addition, it will be placed near the 215 Beltway. Relatedly, Lorenzo Fertitta, a Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, said: “When we open properties, every aspect of the property is open, ready to go. We’ll open the doors and let her rip for the customers.”
The legal status of online casinos in India is complex and varies by state. While there is no federal law that explicitly addresses online gambling, the legality depends on state regulations and the type of gambling involved.
Key Points:
-
No National Law: India does not have a specific national law regulating online casinos. However, the Public Gambling Act of 1867 prohibits operating physical casinos and gambling houses, but it doesn't cover online platforms, leaving a legal grey area for online gambling.
-
State-Specific Laws: Some Indian states, like Goa, Sikkim, and Daman, have legalized land-based casinos, and others, such as Sikkim, have also licensed online gambling. Many states have banned gambling altogether, including online gambling.
-
Online Sports Betting: Betting on sports, particularly cricket, is very popular in India. However, it's only explicitly legal in some states like Sikkim and Nagaland, which have laws permitting online gaming and betting.
-
Legal Gray Area: Many international online casinos accept Indian players and operate legally under licenses from offshore jurisdictions (like Curacao or the UK Gambling Commission). As long as players are gambling on licensed platforms, the risk is minimal, but local authorities may still choose to regulate or restrict online gambling.
-
Cryptocurrency: Some Indian players prefer using cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin) for online gambling, as it provides a layer of anonymity and security.
While online casinos aren't explicitly legal across all of India, many international casinos accept Indian players, and online gambling continues to grow in popularity. Players should ensure they use licensed platforms and understand local laws before engaging in online gaming.
