Dealer's manager

Answer:

PITBOSS

Hint:

This person oversees casino tables and ensures games run smoothly, often seen in a suit near the action.

Explanation:

In a casino, the "dealer" is the person who handles cards or games at the table, and their direct supervisor is called the "pit boss." The term "pit" refers to the area where table games like blackjack or poker are played, so the boss oversees that section. The clue plays on the literal meaning of "manager" while relying on casino terminology for the answer.
