Entry-level workers with limited experience performing routine cash exchange and basic customer transactions under close supervision. Typically no prior casino cashiering background required. DOL defines this as the starting point for workers new to the occupation.
Workers with some practical experience handling cash transactions, processing payoffs, and operating within casino cage or booth environments with moderate supervision. Level 2 is the most common filing level for Gambling Change Persons and Booth Cashiers sponsored for work visas.
Experienced cashiers who handle complex transactions, audit money drawers, manage shift banks, and operate with substantial independence. These workers typically have several years in casino cash-handling roles and may informally guide newer staff.
Fully competent senior cashiers or lead booth operators with deep expertise across cage operations, audit functions, and compliance procedures. Workers at this level exercise significant autonomy and may oversee shift-level cash management responsibilities.

Watch for the cage versus booth distinction
Some employers file cage cashier roles under adjacent SOC codes covering general cashiering, which can assign a different prevailing wage floor entirely. Confirm that your LCA specifically references SOC 41-2012 before accepting a sponsored offer.
Note that casino market concentration drives metro gaps
Metros like New York and Tucson show prevailing wages far above national medians for this role, while rural gaming markets in West Virginia and Montana sit near the floor. The gap between highest and lowest metros for casino cashiers is unusually wide compared to most service occupations.
Check which employers have sponsored this role before
Casino sponsorship of Gambling Change Persons and Booth Cashiers for work visas is concentrated among large resort and tribal gaming operators. Migrate Mate shows which employers have historical H-1B or green card sponsorship for this occupation, so you can target properties with an actual filing record.
Understand how shift differentials affect compliance
Casino cashier compensation often includes night, weekend, or holiday shift differentials. These premiums do not substitute for base wage compliance on an LCA. The prevailing wage floor must be met by the base rate listed on the certified LCA, not by blended total compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the DOL set the prevailing wage for Gambling Change Persons and Booth Cashiers?
DOL uses Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics survey data collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate prevailing wages by occupation and geography. For SOC 41-2012, OFLC assigns one of four wage levels based on the worker's experience, complexity of duties, and supervision level. Employers filing an LCA for a sponsored position must offer at least the DOL-determined prevailing wage for 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 increasing experience and responsibility: Level 1 is entry-level with close supervision, Level 2 covers qualified workers with moderate oversight, Level 3 applies to experienced workers with significant independence, and Level 4 covers fully competent senior employees. Your employer determines the level based on your actual job duties, experience requirements, and supervisory structure. Review the LCA your employer files with OFLC to confirm which level they assigned.
Why does the prevailing wage for this role vary so much from city to city?
OFLC calculates prevailing wages from regional Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics surveys, which capture local labor market conditions. Casino cashier wages in high-cost, densely regulated gaming markets reflect the local wage competition employers face. The LCA rule also requires the employer to use the prevailing wage for the specific worksite location listed on the filing, so a transfer between properties in different metros can change the applicable floor significantly.
What happens if my job offer is below the prevailing wage for a sponsored position?
An employer cannot certify an LCA for a wage below the applicable DOL prevailing wage floor. If the offered salary falls short, OFLC will not certify the application, and the visa petition cannot move forward. For green card sponsorship through PERM, a below-floor wage similarly blocks DOL certification. Workers should compare their offered salary against the prevailing wage for the correct level and worksite before the LCA is filed.
How do I find and verify the prevailing wage for a specific U.S. location?
Use the OFLC Wage Search tool on the DOL website to look up prevailing wages by SOC code, wage level, and metropolitan area. Enter SOC 41-2012 and select the metro covering your worksite. You can also review certified LCA disclosure data through OFLC to see what wages employers have filed for comparable roles in that area. USCIS and OFLC both rely on this data when reviewing petitions, so confirming the figure before your employer files is worthwhile.
