Casino looks to recruit door dwarfs

The UK's largest casino has risked controversy by putting out an advert for a team of "door dwarfs" to become Britain's smallest bouncers.

The Hippodrome Casino, in London's Leicester Square, believes the move will bring a smile to the faces of customers.

The venue is advertising for people under the height of 4'10" to help look after customers and nip any trouble in the bud.

An advert in the Metro newspaper read: "Door Dwarfs required for The Hippodrome Casino, London.

"The Hippodrome is seeking to create a team of Britain's smallest bouncers - Door Dwarfs - for its new entrance in Cranbourn Street, Leicester Square.

"Duties include door control and customer relations. We welcome applications from those under 4ft 10 inches."

Simon Thomas, the owner of the Hippodrome Casino, told LBC: "We wanted to add some extra spectacle to Leicester Square.

"The Hippodrome is a building with a rich tradition of theatrical innovation with a history of dwarf acts appearing here.

"It fits perfectly with the way we do things here - differently, with a lot of fun involved, and we think they will be very effective on the door."

Guess this place doesn't believe in Equal Opportunity Employment. I just wondering how many dwarfs there are in London.

Well that's weird...

I think a persons height has nothing to do with their bouncing abilities.

Me either. With all the people out of work, I'm surprised they are getting away with this. It's discrimination against anyone over 4'10'' that needs a job.

Yeah, well if you look a at a restaurant like Hooters, they only hire pretty girls and they've been getting away with that since they've opened.
