Where in Alberta can you get Casino Dealer Training?

• I'm looking to get training in Casino Dealing (Blackjack and such). Does anyone know where in Alberta you can get such training?

• Answer:

  I googled for you. It is so easy to find any information you want. But I chose what I think is important for you right now. Casino dealers must be of legal gambling age and have no criminal record. There are no standard minimum education requirements for casino dealers but employers generally prefer to hire applicants who have a high school diploma. Knowledge of the community and local tourist attractions is an asset. Dealers must have a complete working knowledge of games, casino rules and security procedures. Most casinos train dealers though in-house training programs. Newly hired dealers usually are given 40 to 60 hours of training over two to six weeks. After they have gained experienced with basic games, dealers may be trained for more advanced games. The number of hours required to train for advanced games varies depending on the game. Before they are allowed to work in a casino in Alberta, dealers must be registered with the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission. Applicants must submit a completed application form, current colour photograph, proof of age and citizenship, and a criminal record check. Dealers also are required to take Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission (AADAC) training sessions every two years.
