Gaming clubs. Board games and club movement. Casino staff or those who serve gambling dealers and desk clerks

It's no secret that every casino has dealers or croupiers. Do you know why there can be several casino employees at one gaming table and what their role is? Then it will be useful for you to find out who serves you in casino gaming rooms and why they are needed.

casino managers

general manager(English General Manager) or top manager (English Top Manager) - highest position at the casino. The general manager manages the casino and all its services. Submits only to casino owners.

casino manager— organizes the gaming process and the operation of casino structures. In large casinos, there may be several managers with a specific function: HR manager, marketing manager, customer service manager, shift manager, etc.

pit boss(eng. Pit Boss) is a manager in the casino hall who controls the game process. As a rule, all casinos have a pit boss. He has his own area - the pit, where the game is played on several tables, and he coordinates the work at them, regardless of the type of game: he opens and closes the tables for the game; monitors the players; monitors the work of dealers, their timely change at the tables; solves various issues, etc. Reports directly to the shift manager. In slang, you can hear another name for a pit boss - a pit bull.

inspector(eng. Inspector) - a casino employee who supervises the work of the dealer. Additionally, the functions of the inspector may include the responsibility to evaluate the players, their behavior, honesty and compliance with the rules of the game. The inspector, like the dealer, is at the gaming table. In case of controversial situations, it is he who makes the decision; or informs the pit boss about emergency situations at the table. The inspector also ensures maximum comfort for the player at the table (drinks, cigarettes, etc.).

dealers and desk clerks

dealer or croupier(English Dealer or Croupier or French Croupier) is a special employee who leads the game at the table in the casino hall. In most games, the dealer is the player's opponent. Croupier literally means bacomet, bank holder in French.

Among the players, dealers may have their own designation. For example, killer(English Killer) is a dealer who constantly wins against players.

Some games require the presence of several dealers at the table, whose function may vary and, accordingly, they will be called differently. Thus, a craps table can be served by four people at the same time: a stickman in the center (accepts bets on central field and is in charge of the bones and stick); boxman (manages money and chips); two dealers (on the basic fields they accept and collect bets).

playing dealer- the dealer who directly conducts the game itself: spins the roulette or deals the cards; accepts bets; announces winnings and pays them out.

watching croupier- a dealer who helps the playing dealer in accepting cash and collecting chips; he can take the money or chips to the cashier for exchange; The supervising dealer also reserves boxes for players who are away for a while.


Craps game. The stickman on the center field (right) and two dealers on the base fields collect chips from the field. A boxman sits opposite the stickman; it is to him that the stickman and the dealers will give the chips.

stickman(from the English Stickman) is a dealer at a craps table, whose task is to accept and pay bets in the center of the table, and, most importantly, to collect dice from the table and present the dice to the player (shooter) for throwing using a special stick - a stick.

boxman(from the English Boxman) is a dealer who exchanges cash for chips at the table. He is an intermediate link between the player and the cashier, since the player does not always want to be distracted from the game and go to the cashier.

chipper- a special employee for collecting chips at the table. When the game is active and several players are playing at the table, one dealer cannot cope, that’s when they resort to the help of chip dealers, who collect and sort the chips.

other casino employees

casino administrator- a special employee who works with casino guests: meets and sees them off, answers any questions.

pit boss assistant(English: Assistant Pit Boss) - assistant pit boss.


The attendant pays the jackpot to the player on the slots.

host(from the English Host) - a casino employee who receives visitors, communicates with them personally and is responsible for the bonuses offered by the casino. For girls there is the term hostess (from the English Hostess).

cashier(English cashier) carries out cash transactions in the casino: exchanges money for chips and vice versa. In some games, this role may be taken on by some of the dealers directly at the gaming table.

attendant(eng. Attendant) - a special employee in a casino who is responsible for working with clients in the halls with slot machines.

controller or the operator in the gaming room monitors the work slot machines, for loading tokens.

technician or a mechanic is working on it technical maintenance slot machines, information signs and other casino equipment.

security Service


Kamerman, a security officer, is at work.

The security service monitors order in the casino and includes:

head of security

security officers in the casino hall, which not only protect the interests and property of the casino, but also protect casino guests from attacks on their life, health and personal property.

security guards at the entrance to the casino, whose task includes face control, i.e. checking visitors, their compliance with the rules accepted in the casino: certain clothing, acceptable age, state of drug or alcohol intoxication etc.

cameraman(from the English Cameraman) is a casino employee who monitors the game using surveillance cameras in real time. The task of such an observer is to detect in time all violations, both on the part of players and on the part of dealers, in order to stop fraud. Typically, a gaming table is monitored by multiple cameras.

Computer games initially originated as “entertainment for one”: in order to play, a person did not need anything other than a computer. Multiplayer, which involved playing against a live opponent, was added much later. And only in exceptional cases (for example, in Counter-Strike) is it primary in relation to the single-player mode or even completely replaces it. But in non-computer games it’s the other way around. Generally, any board game requires multiple players to play.
The computer is bought in a store or any other place where the paper equivalents are yours (or your dad’s, depending on who)

labor activity can be exchanged for a bunch of hardware and microcircuits. Where can you find like-minded people and allies for a board game?
Well, you invariably find friends and buddies whose hearts burn with a desire (probably you did) to take part in D&D-in the module, play a game of fifty in Magic: The Gathering, spread out on the army table Warhammer... But friends and buddies are not always present in the proper quantity and assortment and are not always ready to give you all of their free time(perhaps it is dear to them as a memory). And I just want to chat with someone else, to see, so to speak, a world not limited by the painful recognition of boring cute friendly faces!
And then, illuminated with hope and spreading the wings of anticipation of the unknown, you can go to the club,
where to look for board game entertainment buddies. Go out into the world, so to speak. Show up in public, pronouncing differently. You get the idea, in short.
In general, you can name many reasons why people flock to clubs. We have already named one. Let's assign it to her serial number"Firstly".
Now - secondly, right? Why not - great - secondly! - there is a place in the club where you can play. The most meaningful places (apartments and forest/park clearings) are not always accessible. The first is due to parents, harmful neighbors and other interfering factors, and the second is due to changeable weather conditions.
Thirdly: clubs usually sell all sorts of gaming equipment, and once in the club, you can stock up on stock at the same time.
But not everything is so simple with tabletop clubs
games. The trick is that the games are all different, and therefore the atmosphere in each club is special. A similar situation is observed in computer and gaming clubs, but there it is not so pronounced.
Today we finally decided to dot all the letters of the alphabet and tell you what board game clubs exist and what they are.

People who play games


The main contingent of club visitors
consists of students and high school students for whom board games are either a favorite hobby or a good alternative to computer clubs.
Traditionally, board games were thought to be family-friendly. And only in last couple years, stereotypes have come to an end, and the club and youth movement has gained
revolutions This happened due to the fact that many modern board games are deliberately focused on tournament play (for example Magic: The Gathering). Of course, you can play them at home with friends, but home play is very different from tournament play. People play at home primarily to have fun and enjoy themselves. At the tournament - also for the sake of winning, victory and self-affirmation. Some games are generally very difficult to play at home - you need special tabletops or other equipment, which not every novice commander or magician can spend money on shining example- military tactical games such as Warhammer).
Most often, board game clubs work with one particular gaming area. Today, the vast majority of clubs are promoting
collectible card games, there are many clubs for military tactics, and practically no clubs for role playing games. All existing clubs can be divided into three large categories: "desks at the store", "gaming clubs" And "clubs of like-minded people".

Tables at the store


Selling board games is not a potato
trade. It is necessary not only to sell the product correctly, but also to make sure that customers come to the store again. Therefore, “toy sellers” are primarily concerned with ensuring that visitors have a place to play their newly purchased board game. For this reason, companies involved in the distribution of gaming products often open their own gaming clubs, thereby killing two birds with one stone: the club at the store is also retail outlet and gaming space.
The most striking example is company clubs "Sargon" , the main "seller" of card games. In addition to selling cards and attributes for the game, tournaments, presentations of new sets, city championships, etc. are regularly held there.
The main advantage of such “club-shops” is that you can always buy a full range of products (the St. Petersburg branch of the company, by the way, is at the same time an office, a warehouse and a club). However, as a rule, such clubs do not promote anything other than the “main product”, and therefore the range of services they provide is limited. Occasionally you can find a refrigerator with soda and storage rooms. Most often, such clubs are located in residential areas, in small semi-basements; sometimes temporary premises are rented for them in
schools or art houses.

Club for the sake of the club


IN Lately There are clubs whose main task is not to sell goods, but to provide players with the opportunity to comfortably spend time playing their favorite game. Most often, such establishments have a narrow thematic focus - only military-tactical or only card games. Of course, such clubs can also have shops, but the emphasis is on organizing the gaming space.
A characteristic feature of such clubs is the presence of special employees - game administrators who can teach you how to play from scratch or explain the intricacies of the rules, as well as advise on purchase. Most often, it depends on the personality of the administrator whether the club will use
popularity and how comfortable it will be for visitors.
Unlike "club-shops", gaming clubs are usually located in good areas and occupy a significant area of ​​​​premises - their main task is to make the visitor satisfied, and therefore there are usually more requirements for them. Typically, such clubs provide a wide range of related services - from organizing tournaments and conducting training events to hot kitchens and selling beer. Sometimes you can even find a computer room for fans of virtual blood.

Club of like-minded people


It happens like this: a group plays their favorite game. They play while going home, gradually expanding their circle of friends, bringing new acquaintances. After a while, when we get ready at home,
in a dorm or garage is no longer possible due to cramped spaces; for traditional gaming gatherings, a room is rented. This could be a restaurant hall or the foyer of a cultural center, a basement or a room in a housing office. Such clubs are characterized by their closed nature (you can only get in on the recommendation of your friends) and an extremely friendly atmosphere. Sometimes such establishments degenerate into “professional” ones, but more often it happens that the main core of like-minded people disintegrates, people lose interest in the game and the club closes.
The described situation is very typical for peripheral cities - many existing card game clubs began with the initiative of several players.
* * *

Today, most existing establishments belong specifically to the category “tables at
store." Hence the overwhelming number of "card" clubs and the almost complete absence of clubs for role-players. Despite this, one can only be glad that there are clubs, their number is growing, and the demand for them is constantly increasing. And maybe, after a while, clubs board games will become as commonplace as computer clubs and Internet cafes. at least, existing board game clubs today do not always cope with the influx of visitors.
The photographs used in the article were taken at the clubs "MagicLand" (Kyiv), "Sargona" (St. Petersburg) and "Labyrinth" (Moscow).

Card game clubs
Moscow

"Portal". On this moment- the largest card games club in Moscow. Basement in the city center,
large (150 seats) and small (8-10 seats) gaming rooms. Regular holding of MTG and Pokemon tournaments.
"Odyssey". The oldest club in Moscow. In the recent past, the club hosted educational role-playing games, but today only cards remain - MTG, Legend of the Five Rings, etc.
Saint Petersburg

"Sargon". The only club in the whole city that deals with board games. The emphasis is on MTG. To hold tournaments on weekends, the cafeteria in a nearby school is rented. The most stylish and, perhaps, the most comfortable of all Sargon’s establishments. On weekends
Warhammer fans also began to gather here.
Kyiv

"MagicLand". At the moment - the best club for playing MTG, which has become a cult among Russian players. Huge two-story room ( former building kindergarten), its own club system, regular holding of prestigious tournaments, which attract players from the CIS countries.
"Legend". Another Sargon club, the only one on the territory of Ukraine. In addition to MTG, there is the opportunity to play role-playing games.
Card game clubs in other cities

There are clubs dedicated to Magic: The Gathering in many cities. Such clubs host tournaments, regional championships, and prereleases.
new sets, etc. Unfortunately, almost all such clubs, except MTG, do nothing.
Military tactical games clubs

Moscow

"BoltFire".
A delight for Mordheim and Warhammer 40k players. Gaming tables with decent terrain. There is a themed store, it is possible to create an individual order (with 100% prepayment). In addition to everything, there is a computer room nearby.
"Alegris". A club at the warehouse of a company of the same name that sells military tactical games. Located in the basement and featuring landscape tables where you can play Warhammer 40k and other military tactical games. Cheap and cheerful.
"The Age of Battles". Club created by a plastic factory
"Star" to promote your own gaming system.
Universal clubs

Moscow

"Dream country". Once a popular gathering place for fans of card games and military-tactical BattleTech, it also attracted Warhammer fans and even role-playing players. Unfortunately, the cheap liquor bar and the loyalty of the security led to the fact that serious players began to avoid the club, considering it a brothel.
"Labyrinth". A very young club with serious aspirations. It was conceived as a club for role-playing games, but quickly outgrew this status due to the large area of ​​​​the premises. In addition to traditional card and military tactical games, board and printed games are rented, and training events are held in all areas of gaming. The club has a café and a games store.

How to open a gaming club in Russian Federation? Let's consider the main trends in the development of the gaming business.

Is it possible to open a gaming club?

These days, the situation with online games in the country is controversial. According to legislative documents, there is a taboo on the gaming business, so opening a club in reality is not possible. But is it possible to open a gaming club online? The existing ban concerns the organization of a gaming business, and not gambling as such.

If you decide to place servers in Internet areas where gambling, then you will be faced with a completely different problem: there is no official document regulating the opening of an online casino in the Russian Federation. This spring, the State Duma considered a bill to return the gambling industry to the country. Will there be changes to normative document, for now we can only speculate. The lack of sources of budget financing pushes deputies to look for additional Money.

In April the government adopted new law on making changes and streamlining the taxation process for lotteries and sweepstakes.

Now legal entities paying cash winnings in the amount of 15 thousand rubles are subject to taxation. This applies not only to lotteries and gaming sweepstakes, but also to payment units, including systems electronic money- Qiwi, Webmoney, as well as Interkassa, Robokassa, etc.

Today payment system Webmoney is experiencing difficulties associated with depositing funds and withdrawing them. Government agencies decided to focus not on monitoring activities, but on collecting taxes. According to the newly introduced scheme, it is the responsibility of the operator, and not the player, to withhold a certain amount from the winnings. However, amounts up to 4,000 rubles are not subject to taxation.

When did the ban on the development of gaming business on the global network come into effect? Officially, the law regarding the ban on casinos came into force in the summer of 2009.

How to open a gaming club

The exact wording of the law governing the area gambling business, reads as follows: “On state regulation of activities related to the organization and conduct of gambling and on amendments to some legislative acts Russian Federation". Since the fall of 2015, the Federal Tax Service, Roskomnadzor and the Prosecutor General’s Office do not have to wait for a decision from the courts to stop the activities of illegal Internet resources.

The following changes have been made to this legislative document (since January 2016):

The most common violations are in relation to the number of machines and the area of ​​the premises allocated for the hall.

Nowadays in Russia there are several operating on a legal basis. play areas: Kaliningrad region, Altai region, Primorsky region, zone on the border between the Rostov region and the Krasnodar region. There are 3 legal casinos in the gambling zones: Oracle, Nirvana, Altai Palace.

Today, the opportunity to open a gaming club legally is an impossible dream. Now government authorities, and the owners themselves gambling establishments are at a crossroads. Many observers expect events that will contribute to a change in outlook on the development of the gambling business in the country.

Playing on the Internet is generally comfortable and safe. Now you can play online games on the following resources:

  1. BetAdonis website. The operator pays 20% of the loss of the deposit, a Russian-language version of the Internet resource has been created. You can top up your account using the following payment systems: Webmoney, Qiwi and Visa. Withdrawal of money after a few hours.
  2. PlayAmo Casino guarantees payment of winnings after several hours if there is an application.
  3. Casino Vulcan.
  4. Wonclub.

The evolution of online gaming is far from over. As long as you can continue playing. To avoid nervous breakdowns, make a choice in favor of proven online gaming services.

How can you come up with something original if there are already so many wonderful titles?

I propose to use the work of artists and designers, namely methods creative search. The main one is search for associations.

7 Creative Search Methods:

  1. View this list of names of children's clubs and development centers. Turn on yours associative thinking and continue each of the categories with your own names. For example, for the category “Animals” I came up with the following words: Tit, Kitten, Sparrow, Stork, Giraffe, Penguin, Peacock, Whale, Fox, Dragon.
  2. Any of these names can be matched bright adjective . Well, for example: the children's club "Smart Tit", the early development school "Orange Kitten", the children's art studio "Colored Peacock", the children's center "Magnificent Sparrow", the family center " White stork", family entertainment center "Cheerful Giraffe", development center "Kind Dragon".
  3. You can also add to the Russian word foreign words or take it completely foreign phrase. For example, the Art Fox art studio or the Clever Fox children's club.
  4. Think about different active titles. For example, the children's development center “Play, Baby!”
  5. Call your friends, relatives or colleagues and arrange brainstorm. This is the same method of associations, only here it is not one person who thinks, but several. They name the associations one by one. It is important that someone writes down all the ideas that are called. Often the collective mind works wonders.
  6. If you are a famous person or professional in the field of child development, you you can use your name in the name of the children's club. For example, “Lena Danilova’s website.”
  7. you also can take over the name club, which is located in another city, but consider the following:

secondly, do not take the names of very famous children's institutions. It will be difficult for you to first reach their level and then surpass it. The same applies to promoting the website of your children's club;

thirdly, try to change at least something in the original name. This is necessary to avoid a situation where Google (or another search engine) for the request “children’s club “Vesely broom”” will return 2 clubs with the same name.

What should you not call a children's club?

  1. Do not use words that may cause any negative associations. For example, an unfortunate name for a children's club is “Lepota”, because it is associated with the word “blindness”. Stores also sell children’s juice “Spelyonok”, the name of which is often read as “Soplyonok”.
  2. Avoid words and phrases that are difficult to pronounce (Example: children's club "Ribambel"). Be careful with diminutive forms– they are not always appropriate. For example, names like “Chameleon” or “Brovarchenok” are a little difficult to read.
  3. Do not use unclear words, because you will have to explain them to everyone for a long time. Example: “Hyperborea”, “Atyudiki”.
  4. Beware of rude and childhood words. You will have to line up complex connection between the name of the establishment and its attitude towards children. For example, “Bartolomeo”, “Garage” or “Tachanka”.
  5. Banal and very common names are also not the best option. They attract little attention, and the search engine returns too many identical names. In addition, associations with the school clubs of our Soviet childhood have not disappeared anywhere. For example, “Rainbow”, “Sun”, “Dawn”, “Chamomile”.

In addition to the name, the children's institution also has definition. Here, too, a huge field for imagination opens up. Moreover, the definition is much deeper than the name. It displays essence and main idea children's institution. For example, a “talent club” indicates that children’s talents are valued here and, in addition to developmental activities, there are many sections and courses. Family Centers have programs designed not only for children, but also for their parents.

38 definitions for preschool institutions:

With a focus on child development:

Children's Club, Early Development Center, Developmental Center, Educational and Development Center, Institute for the Development of Child Intellect, Development School, Child Development Center, Child Development Center, Intelligence Development Center, Children's Club, Early Development Studio, School of the Future First-Grade, Early Development Groups, English children's club, Club harmonious development, Training Center, Child Psychology and Development Club, Montessori Center, Children's Educational Center

Working with families:

Family Center, Family Club, Family Development Center, Family Ecology Center, Family Success Club, Family Club, Family Psychological Club, Family Leisure Club, Family Entertainment Center, Center for Children and Parents

Variety of studios, focus on creativity:

Talent Club, Center creative development children, Children's Culture Center

Children's leisure:

Leisure club, Club children's leisure, Children's play club

Emphasis on a favorable atmosphere:

Good Home, Eco-Club, Friends Club.

These definitions are very beautiful and varied, but I want to add my own fly in the ointment: When asking a search engine a question, clients most often look for simple and familiar definitions. Therefore, if you are planning using the Internet, it is better to focus on more banal words, such as “children’s club” or “children’s development center.”

I hope that this extensive article did not bore you, but inspired you. And you are already inventing the most best titles for your children's center!

P.S. If you liked this article, feel free to . There will be many articles here about the opening and operation of the kindest and most interesting business.
