Radha Vellanki

Table Games Manager

Initially hesitant about working in a casino

Radha Vellanki, who had been a teacher in India, was initially hesitant about taking a temporary job as a dealer at SkyCity Auckland's casino.

'In India a casino is not the type of place where a respectable woman works – I didn't even tell my parents where I was working! But as I started to grow into my role, to see what an excellent place it was to work, I felt quite the opposite. I'm now proud to say I work here.'

Using her classroom skills in a casino

In her role as Table Games Manager, Radha oversees the supervisors and staff who run the different table games, and it is her job to ensure that both the players and the employees are kept happy.

'It's a multitasking role so you have to keep your eyes on many different things at once – whether it's keeping the table stocked with chips, planning the rosters, recruitment and training, or making sure the staff are paid on time.

'Many of the negotiation techniques that I first learned in the classroom come in useful! You need good communication above all, but then patience, flexibility and dedication.'
