Prevailing Wage for Gambling Cage Workers by OES area
Each shape is a DOL OES area, the unit prevailing wage is published for.

Confirm your worksite is on the LCA
Casino cage roles are tied to a physical property. If your employer lists a corporate headquarters address on the LCA rather than the actual casino worksite, the prevailing wage used may not match the correct metro, which can expose the filing to a DOL audit.
Watch how tip income is counted
Gaming cage positions rarely earn tips, but some casino employers bundle discretionary bonuses into total compensation. DOL prevailing wage compliance looks at base salary only, so bonuses and one-time payments cannot be used to meet the wage floor for a sponsored position.
Check sponsorship history for casino employers
Tribal casinos and resort-casino operators vary widely in H-1B and green card sponsorship activity for cage roles. Migrate Mate shows which casino employers have sponsored Gambling Cage Workers historically, so you can focus applications on operators with a real filing track record.
Know that Puerto Rico metros pay far less
San Juan and Ponce have prevailing wages far below the national median for this occupation. If a casino offer is in Puerto Rico, compare it against the local DOL floor, not national figures, before evaluating whether the offer clears the required level.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the DOL set the prevailing wage for Gambling Cage Workers?
DOL uses Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics survey data collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics from employers across metro areas. For SOC 43-3041, those survey results are compiled into four wage levels for each geographic area. Employers sponsoring a cage worker for H-1B or PERM must submit a Labor Condition Application to OFLC using the applicable level and worksite location.
What do the four wage levels mean and how do I know which one applies to my offer?
The four levels reflect experience and responsibility. Level 1 covers entry-level hires under close supervision. Level 2 applies to qualified workers handling standard cage duties independently. Level 3 covers experienced professionals with added reconciliation or credit responsibilities. Level 4 applies to senior or lead cage staff. Your job duties and years of relevant experience determine the level, and the employer selects it when filing the LCA with OFLC.
Why does the prevailing wage for this role vary so much from city to city?
DOL calculates prevailing wages from regional OES surveys, so each metro reflects local employer pay data. Casino-dense markets like Seattle show substantially higher floors than smaller gaming markets or Puerto Rico metros. The LCA must use the wage for the actual worksite city, not the employer's headquarters. This worksite-on-LCA rule means a cage worker placed at a Nevada property cannot use a lower-wage metro's floor.
What happens if a job offer for a sponsored position falls below the prevailing wage?
OFLC will not certify the LCA if the offered wage is below the applicable prevailing wage level for the worksite. Without a certified LCA, USCIS cannot approve the H-1B petition or advance a PERM-based green card. The employer must either increase the offered salary to meet the floor or reclassify the position at the correct wage level before refiling. There is no waiver for this requirement.
How do I find and verify the prevailing wage for a Gambling Cage Workers role in a specific U.S. city?
Use the OFLC Wage Search tool to look up the current wage by SOC code 43-3041 and the specific metro area matching the worksite. Select the wage level that corresponds to your experience. You can also review recent LCA disclosure data published by OFLC to see what wages comparable employers are certifying.
