They manage staff, handle customer inquiries, and resolve any issues that may arise during gameplay. The layout of the pit allows for efficient management and customer service, making it a central part of the casino’s operational structure.
The structured layout of the pit allows for efficient monitoring and management of multiple gaming tables simultaneously, contributing to the overall security and organization of the casino floor.
