Prevailing Wage for First-Line Supervisors of Gambling Services Workers
The prevailing wage for a Casino Manager under DOL's occupational classification sets the minimum a U.S. employer must pay to support a visa petition. Whether your offer letter says Casino Shift Manager (CSM), Floor Supervisor, or Pit Boss, DOL assigns four experience-based wage levels, and the floor shifts significantly depending on which U.S. city the worksite falls in.

Entry-level Casino Managers with limited supervisory experience, typically under two years on a gaming floor, and minimal independent judgment. Duties are closely directed. Most foreign-national candidates starting their first U.S. gaming supervision role fall here.
Qualified supervisors with two to four years of gaming floor experience who handle routine shift decisions independently. Level 2 is the most common filing level for this occupation, reflecting the structured but experienced nature of most casino floor supervisor roles.
Experienced Casino Managers who exercise broad independent judgment, may oversee multiple pit areas or shift teams, and regularly handle escalated guest or compliance situations. Several years of demonstrated performance in a gaming supervision role typically supports this level.
Fully competent senior gaming supervisors, such as a Casino Shift Manager overseeing property-wide operations or a Pit Boss leading high-limit rooms. This level reflects top-of-range complexity, accountability, and minimal day-to-day oversight from above.
Prevailing Wage for First-Line Supervisors of Gambling Services Workers by OES area
Each shape is a DOL OES area, the unit prevailing wage is published for.
What’s an OES area?
The Department of Labor publishes prevailing wages for geographic zones called OES areas. Every U.S. county belongs to exactly one, and the wage floor applies across the whole area. A worker in Oakland gets the San Francisco metro wage, not a separate Oakland wage.

Confirm your worksite casino property address on the LCA
For gaming roles, the worksite on your Labor Condition Application must match the specific casino property, not corporate headquarters. A downtown headquarters address instead of the gaming floor address can trigger a wage underpayment finding during an audit.
Watch how signing bonuses affect your base wage calculation
Many casino operators offer signing bonuses to attract supervisors, but DOL counts only the regular rate of pay toward prevailing wage compliance. A generous sign-on package does not offset a base salary that falls below the filed wage level floor.
Compare coastal gaming markets before accepting a metro offer
The wage floor for a Pit Supervisor in the Seattle or San Jose metro can run substantially higher than the national median, while Puerto Rico metros sit well below it. Verify the worksite-specific level against DOL data before evaluating any offer as competitive.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does DOL set the prevailing wage for Casino Managers?
DOL derives prevailing wages from the Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics survey published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. For Casino Managers, OFLC maps the role to SOC code 39-1013 and pulls the wage distribution for that occupation in the specific geographic area. The resulting four-level figures represent the 17th, 34th, 50th, and 67th percentiles of surveyed wages.
What do the four wage levels mean and how do I know which one applies to me?
The four levels reflect experience and complexity, from entry-level supervision (Level 1) through fully independent senior oversight (Level 4). Your employer determines the appropriate level based on the actual duties in the role, years of relevant experience, and degree of supervisory autonomy. DOL and USCIS both review whether the filed level accurately reflects the position, so underfiling at Level 1 for a clearly experienced role creates compliance risk.
Why does the prevailing wage for the same Casino Shift Manager title vary so much city to city?
OFLC calculates wages from regional Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics surveys, so the floor reflects what employers in that specific labor market actually pay. High-cost metro areas with large, competitive casino operations, like those in the Seattle or San Diego markets, produce higher survey wages. The Labor Condition Application must list the actual worksite address, and OFLC applies the wage for that metro area, not the national median.
What happens if my job offer falls below the prevailing wage for a sponsored position?
If the offered salary is below the prevailing wage listed on the Labor Condition Application, the LCA cannot be lawfully certified by DOL, and USCIS will not approve the underlying visa petition. Employers are legally obligated to pay at least the LCA-listed wage for the duration of the authorized period. An offer below the floor must be renegotiated before the employer can file.
How do I find and verify the prevailing wage for a Casino Manager role at a specific U.S. location?
Use the OFLC Wage Search tool to look up SOC 39-1013 for your target metro area. Select the correct wage year and geographic area that matches the casino property worksite. Migrate Mate can complement this by showing which employers have historically sponsored Floor Supervisor or Pit Boss roles, helping you identify properties already familiar with the LCA filing process in that market.
