Shifting from basic operations to a combined 'service+technology' role: casino administrators can learn AI monitoring system analysis to become security analysts; dealers can master multiple languages and high-end service skills to upgrade to VIP client managers; cashiers can transition to data clerks handling automated system anomalies.
