Casino dealers deal games to customers at a casino. They ensure proper procedures are followed and pay and take cash or chips from the customer depending on the outcome of the hand. The steps on how to get a job as a casino dealer vary from state to state and from country to country.

Most casinos require the dealer to have previous training or experience before they can get a job in the casino. Training is provided either in-house or from a private dealing school. Dealers with previous experience applying at a casino will go through a table test, where a manager or supervisor will watch the applicant deal a mock game to see how they go through basic procedures. If accepted, the dealer will learn the proper procedures for the casino.

Casino dealers can make a lot of money in tips depending on the location and game dealt. The downside is that because many casinos are open 24/7, there may be graveyard shifts which run through the night. This can also be an advantage to families where one parent works during the day and one at night so there is always someone to take care of young children or do errands. But the disadvantage is that the couple would see each other less than a "9 to 5" family.

Las Vegas casinos require training before a dealer is hired. Training is done through a dealer school. There are many dealing schools in the Las Vegas area.http://maps.google.ca/maps?oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=las+vegas+dealing+schools&fb=1&gl=ca&hq=dealing+schools&hnear=Las+Vegas,+NV,+USA&view=text&ei=WOBsTICdBIW2sAOunL3UDQ&sa=X&oi=local_group&ct=more-results&resnum=1&ved=0CCwQtQMwAA Other states also have training schools designed for dealers.http://www.ildado.com/casino_dealer_schools.htmlRequirements will vary at each school, and a math test may be administered before being accepted into classes.

Some casinos will offer in-house training for applicants. Applicants are interviewed and screened for customer service and other experience and if accepted, will get a job as a dealer after proper training. The training may be paid.

The largest and most popular casinos are in Las Vegas, Nevada and Macau. The bigger casinos such as MGM Grand and Caesars Palace will only hire dealers with experience. Casinos off the Strip are less stringent in hiring, so many new dealers will start there.

Casinos in Macau may require staff who speak both English and Chinese. Other requirements will vary in each casino. Customer service is a prerequisite, as dealers have to deal with customers for a long period of time.

Dealing schools may have job placement options after a class is taken.http://www.casinodealercollege.com/ Applicants may also apply directly to a casino, either by visiting their websites or applying in person.
