 |

| I always wondered, "What does it take to become a dealer" like how do those guys get the job, do casinos just hire any random person that knows hot to shuffle a deck and have no reaction? |

| I also wonder about that but definitely these guys must be very good in a way. Maybe, their Math skills and they must be alert, too. In whatever way, they are properly trained before they go to the actual work. Also, they are highly paid. |

| I believe you have to take a course and be certified... as for the low pay, don't forget that like waitresses, dealers often get tipped by the players - they can get some pretty good tips if the table's going the right way and the players drop a few extra chips as they take off! |

| In our country, dealers are one of the best paid employees, considering that casinos are also taking care of their staff's benefits other than their salaries and allowances. |

| if you're playing with the high rollers you're going to make a LOT in tips, that's for sure... not to mention that your seniority makes you more likely to get the good tables! |

| it's not as easy as it looks - you have to be able to deal quickly and efficiently without screwing up the cards; be able to teach the game to new players and be able to calculate the payouts right there without asking for help... it's a hard profession to learn! |

| Exactly..it may be hard, yes i agree. But its not like their going to learn alot. You probably only have to know a couple of things. Math and Dealing. But is it really smart to be a dealer for your proffession? |
