Hundreds of jobs are expected to be available in the Illinois gaming industry.  There is a need for surveillance personnel to ensure that patrons and employees do not try to cheat.  Gaming managers are needed to coordinate gaming activities.  Illinois employment projection shows that the biggest need is for gaming workers to help patrons with financial activities.  Supervisors are also required to provide instruction and direction for the gaming workers.
