I'm about to turn 53. Worked 15+ years in Escrow/Home loan processing arena. When the rates go up, my job is at risk. Laid off in June, took 2 months off and started playing hold em tournaments at a newer (5 yrs) racetrack/casino 20 miles north of St Paul. Chatting up with dealers and eventually one informed me of a poker dealer training starting in Sept. I'm just wrapping up my first week and I already know I'm going to love it. There is SO much to learn and keep track of...far more than a player can imagine. they have tourneys and games ready to slate....all they need is more DEALERS!! I'm psyched, thanks for all the info and tips!
DON'T FORGET THE RAKE!!!!! LOL
So what’s happening with you now. Its been 8 months have you become a dealer?
Hey buddy, what's the followup? How'd it go?
I'm going to assume he's employed and working a rotating roster. No time for UA-cam! ♦️♣️♥️♠️
“Watching this 3 months from now when corona virus is done”... if only
Only 2 weeks to flatten the curve.
Dave is so good for the CEG brand and the casino industry, just a wealth of knowledge and charisma. His point about ageism not being a "thing" in the casino world is an important reality for many in the workforce.
Mom is that you? LOL> Thank you so much. - David
@@CEGDealerSchool LMAO... *80's end of movie slow clap*
8:20 nailed it for me and less stress. Tired of having to think about work and keeping tabs on so much. Going into Monday with 30-40 emails every week, back to back pointless meetings all day...then just to get Sat + Sun off and rush around doing errands while everyone else is off too....rather have weekdays off and working off-hours so I can do errands / appointments when everyone else is slaving 9-5.
If only I had time ... a second lifetime ... I might have chosen to do this after listening to that. It does seem to be an honorable and prosperous career journey. And, as you pointed out, it has the rare quality of being able to be done all over the world. And from my life experiences, I can assure you, the SINGLE most important thing you can do in your life is to TRAVEL. It's a BIG world, with many wonderful people, places and things to be experienced within it. In my humble opinion, if you don't travel, you have done yourself, AND the world, a great disservice.
I’ll take that to heart
David, you're a salesman! You could sell a fridge to an Eskimo 🤣🤣🤣
👍 Well put David! Thats ironic that I just came across this video. I’m in the process of getting back into the casino business as a poker dear again after being out of the business for about 15+ years going to go to work for a Caesar property in Illinois. I’m looking so forward to getting back in the action and all that comes along with it! Great video and I thought I would share my new and up and coming adventure!👊
Best of luck to you Eric, thanks for watching us --David
I am fan of this channel 😍 I am currently a casino dealer but not really good at it I want to learn from you guys, you all humble. 💗 sending love from philippines
Do you get free food?
Brother how can I contact you I need a job ... I m also casino dealer..
Going to dealer school soon here. Still learning about it. Class coming up quick
"That story where the guy throws up on you." That is an upside. I love David.
Hi Y'all! I just started a job as a 3rd party banker for Blackstone Gaming since casinos in CA need an outside party to have financial stakes at the tables and I've actually become just as interested in being a dealer. Although, my job is more of an observer and making sure the payouts and games are being run correctly, it's not something I had considered before. I'm hoping my time here will lead to a dealer position since, we are prohibited from accepting tips.
Can you guys do ? Interview questions that the casino would ask , and the best answer to give to the casino . like what they look for in an answer to stood out the most . Thank you 😊
Can you guys teach your dealers to be hilarious and energetic like David? I've been to Vegas so many times and rarely find a craps dealer that's halfway enthused about being there. But when you do find one, it makes the game even more awesome!
Maybe you should try throwing them a tip instead of being an asshole.
@@billrobertson5895 Not to get into an argument on the internet, but you don't know me. I'm a very nice person and my first bet on a table is always a pass line bet for me and a matching bet for the table. I tip throughout and have been called "George" on occasion. I'm not saying dealers are cold to me. I'm saying in general, dealers don't make the games fun and make the funny calls like they did in the old days.
@@nemocheerio because most players are dicks who try to take shots at dealers and rarely tip. If you aren’t like that great but you are one of many at craps table. Compound that with today’s easily offended and saying something that the wrong person considers offensive can cost you your job
I've been saying this for years. Most dealers have no personality now unfortunately
@@bernardthedon3483 and too many players are dicks. Next time you go pay close attention and see what dealers really have to put up with for minimum wage and less plus tips.
I've been dealing for 30 years. That's about 27 years too long. Everything Dave says here is not necessarily wrong but what he said is purely academic. Being on the job day-in day-out is going to wear on you immensely. Of course most of this has to do with your temperament as an individual; but, i'm here to tell you there are VERY FEW people who can actually handle it over the long haul. I stayed in it mostly because I trapped myself with a family etc. In the interest of saving time...this is the 'take away'. Try it out but do not consider it your end game...you may very well regret it. If it has the same effect on you as it does myself; as well as, most dealers I've seen, known, talked with etc. You'll end up hating humanity. It's a dirty ugly business full of dirty ugly people. I'd only truly wish the job on my enemies.
I wanted to see some live roulette games in action and found youtube videos where the dealers didn't say a word. They're busy, and couldn't care less about hearing or telling stories. Such banter with customers would waste time and be a distraction anyway. It was like an assembly line at Ford. Spin wheel, take the losers chips, payout the winners. Rinse and repeat.
Haven't seen any 'dirty ugly people' yet, only folks with money to burn. I watched a couple lose a bunch of money on a spin at Circus Circus and the dejected look on the woman's face spoke volumes. They weren't 'having fun in Vegas.' I wonder if they even knew how bad the odds were against them. The dealer was a young guy in his 20s and he never spoke to them about anything. Just took their money. So I don't know where people keep getting all this 'must be sociable and have a great personality' from.
ok def not a long hold job but is it good for like a few year type of job? good money n all that because I just love the game
Interesting, I’ve been a dealer for nearly 7 years now and I still love the job, literally the only thing that causes me to dislike any part of it is always management related, but that always seems to work itself out in the end and those people never last, for the most part we’re entertainers, once you switch your mindset from service industry to entertainment perhaps you’ll understand, I really should be at a KYO because I always make good tips
@@Shinobi6677 Some people can do it. You're an anomaly; But, there isn't one person I have ever seen deal that hasn't had more than a few moments where the look on their face shows how they really feel about it all. I'm always talking to those who are more 'predictable' about their perspective in life - a.k.a. - most people. People have an uncanny ability to delude themselves into believing anything. I am not one of them. Lie to the world all you want, just never to yourself. For anyone still considering this job. Keep it a short term goal, not a long term one. You'll thank me for it later.
@@Shinobi6677 how much do you make if you don’t mind me asking? I’m thinking about becoming one!
Caesars is coming to Danville Virgina in 2023 and I intend to become one of the top dealers. I was an engineer and now drive Uber at 52 and I get excellent tips.
Where do I start? There are no casinos near me.
Just got offered the opportunity to work as a dealer at my local casino. Just need to get licensed.
I am going to visit my first dealing school ABC Casino College in Phoenix, Arizona tomorrow. I cannot wait to learn the card games. They are giving a great deal to study at the school.
How much was it? I live in Phoenix as well!
13:55 "Once you get full-time."......Unless it's based on seniority, and I've never heard that seniority has anything to do with anything (like in many union jobs), what's to keep a casino from keeping someone at full-time forever? Or graveyard shift when they'd rather have day shift.....forever?
The casino job boards advertise for part-time dealers so that they can get out of paying full-time benefits. They'll work you up to 38 hours and think nothing of it. Don't like it? Quit! I'd like to hear some tips for how a part-timer becomes a full-timer without sleeping with their boss. Or how they're finding openings to go from part-time to full-time to get full-timer benefits. If part-timers got the same benefits as full-timers, then there would be no reason for casinos to say, 'we don't have any full-time openings right now.' That's what most industries do to keep labor costs down. Employer/employee loyalty with cradle-to-grave benefits and a retirement pension are things the WWI and WW2 generations enjoyed. Which casinos have two-weeks paid vacation and a 401(K)? Even if you get a 401(K), it's a year before the company will match the deductions. You should do any entire video on casino dealer benefits, like part-time vs. full-time and how to get full-time. Benefits besides 20 minute breaks and cold stale food that you don't have time to eat.
yeah the free food would be tough just because you are seemingly almost always on break, but what I would do is either eat when I first got to work or as im leaving work and the middle maybe just pop in some ear buds.
"Toke jobs".....besides dealer? Can you list and discuss them? Can you do a video on 'toke committees?' What is their function? Why and how do those people make more money than dealers? You've skimmed over a lot of topics in this video. Now do a video on each of those topics. :)
I agree with what you are saying about this being a good fallback job that you can return to.....I have a parent with Alzheimer's that needed care and assistance and returned to dealing weekends just to cover the 401k....
damn imagine dealing with Alzheimers
10:28 What was the one after Boyd? "(inaudible) properties")
would like to see a updated video for 2024, been back to LV recently and thinking about moving back and maybe taking this on as a profession.
I just went through dealer school it's 2024 but just got sick idk I don't think it's corona now but cold I just finished haven't auditioned yet. I'm in St. Louis mo where casino has school but it's only 2 weeks I wonder if I should go to school more
Europe AND Monaco?
That's crazy!! What about France, or Spain?
Just spent 5 days in Reno at the Peppermill. Those poor blackjack dealers were standing some long shifts, I think a couple of hours
6:30 What is a 'see you roulette dealer?'
The company I work for just merged with Caesars so now I have options to go all over the US
Can you do a video on 'toke committees?' What is their function? Why and how do those people make more money than dealers?
The Toke Committee is a group of dealers assigned to count the tips (if they are pooled/shared/centralized) for the day/night. It is usually a one-hour side job that pays around $50. Dealers hold elections to choose members of this committee. I used to do it 3 days a week. That's $600 a month right there!
Is easy to be a casino owner. How much take time to be a owner and is easy or tough
I got a callous on the side of my thumb from dealing rapid roulette, added some real punch to my spin.
Agree. Your hands thicken up
I just left vagas after a month long visit. I have obligations until November but my plan is to return and attend the classes. I travel all year for work but I’ll be free 😮n November if I don’t book any jobs. How long is the course if I attend full time?
I've never heard of a person managing a buffet getting tips. They bring food out, put it on the buffet, and go back to the kitchen. Where is the opportunity for a customer to tip you?
I wanna be a dealer so badly ^^ I'm from the Philippines and I'm about to graduate next year.
16:10 What is "Casino Quest?" "We have dealers working for us right now, pulling this together"....Pulling what together? Doing what? I need a "family" to have turkey with on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Now THAT'S a family!
holy shit how many comments have you left
Sir !! I am a casino dealer from india Can you please guide me how can i get placement?? Please help me ...
You've skimmed over a lot of topics in this video. Now do a video on each of those topics. :)
After listing some of the best paying casinos, can you now make a video listing the 'break-in houses' so that people know where to apply without having experience yet? Also, I'd like to know which ones will take you if you only know one or two games, and teach you the rest, or let you learn others after you're on the payroll. I'd like to know how many games they put you on when first hired out of training, or if they are some remotely located casino that has their own in-house training. Are they putting you on a different game every day, or week? Or do they let you get established (and therefore, faster) on just one game for awhile before putting you on another? Can dealers ever get away with saying, "I only want to deal (fav game)" if it's not craps or poker? How likely is it to get hired in doing just poker without learning other table games really well and proving yourself on those first? Have you heard of people breaking their backs standing up (especially craps, leaning over all the time), and telling their bosses, "I either have to switch to poker (to sit down) or I'll have to quit due to back problems? What would they likely be told? Does CEG teach all forms of poker well enough so that a person can skip the other games? Is it a course fee for each type of poker? Where else can someone practice and learn? Playing the game and not having to deal with all the chips is not the same as dealing the game, I don't believe.
good questions. commenting to follow
I don't see how 20 minutes is enough time to eat anything but a very few bites, especially after you waste time walking there and back. It would sound like a better deal if you could load up a plate, cover it with something and take it home. I can't find anyplace that describes whether employees can come in before their shifts, stay after their shifts, or eat on their days off, to not be rushed and actually get full from a complete meal. Can they?
get to work 30 mins earlier, eat dinner, work, go home or finish and eat and then go home
@@zpecialist Do casinos let you come in on your day off just to eat without working?
Great Video 👍
I really want to become a dealer but I don't know how will I become one
And constant, unending abuse and harassment from players AND managers. not for the weak or timid or easy hurt or offended. And if you're not good at math!!! It ain't for you!
You heard it here first @ 00:30 , Corona Virus is over in 3 months ;)
U dumb fuck
@@pigbenisjohnsoncarter8391 I hope you're being satirical and don't actually think I'm taking my health advice from a gaming channel...
Just subscribed very excited teehee
David coronavirus is not done yet, what should I do?
I deal craps and usually get the F-Bomb dropped on me about 5 times a day. Then, Boxman asks the player if wants a free buffet? I wear a long sleeve black polyester shirt when it is 110 degrees outside. I think the casino got these on discount when Disneyland closed their pirate ride? And, don't forget your mask. Welcome to your new career!
Just stating facts. Casinos in Vegas already requiring vaccines as a requirement for employment. Let's go Brandon!
Does this school help you get job
You say "reach out to us with your questions, we'll be happy to hear from you." Can you start by interacting with us on UA-cam and answering questions here?
Hi there Joe, we do interact with our viewers on UA-cam. However, as a small business and UA-cam channel with a decent following we are unable to answer every single question given to us. Have a wonderful day. --Mar
I've never seen a dealer wearing an apron. It must be something the is only worn below waist level and I don't know why it's needed. You aren't bussing dirty tables. I've seen shirts, vests, and baggy black shirts that almost look like a chef's jacket.
Are most casinos flexible with schedules?
If by flexible you mean always work weekends then sure
My last casino scheduled people on call 5 days a week. Then when you got there, they sent you home after 3 hours!
I would love being a dealer but I had a friend who was a dealer and he couldn’t play in any casinos
How much does a casino employee make a year ?
2:00 "You don't even need to know the numbers."....No? You don't have to memorize the 'times tables' for all the payout ratios you'll need to make in games like roulette and craps?
How do you move up once you become a dealer?
After a year or two of competence (you won't be considered otherwise) you can apply to become what is known as a "dual rate" when the casino posts an internal notice that they are seeking dealers to acquire this position. This is the first stage of moving up. When you attain this you will deal some days and supervise on others, depending on the needs of the casino. When you are a dealer you will get tokes, and be paid your dealer wage. When you are a supervisor you will get a much higher hourly wage than a dealer, but no tokes. If the dealers are part of a union you will no longer be a union member. After a year or two of competence at that, you can apply to become a "full" supervisor when the opportunity arises, and you will never deal again. Then, as time goes on and job postings are made you can apply to move up to pit manager, then floor manager, shift manager, etc.
17:10 "Join our what?" (inaudible). It sounds like 'join our dis quarterly' but that wouldn't make any sense. Let me know if you want help with polishing your videos from the viewers perspective. You don't have to pay anything. I'll trade free media consulting for dealer lessons. It'll be a win/win.
Thank you for the offer but unfortunately at this time we will not be needing your assistance. Upon reading a lot of your comments it appears you are looking to mostly criticize us and seeking out flaws on purpose. Thank you for offering to help us "polish" our videos but we won't be needing any assistance from you. As someone who seems to be always interested in the "viewer's perspective", I challenge you to take a point of view from CEG's perspective. Rather than seeking out flaws in our videos and choosing to actively express how you think we should do things I hope you can learn to be a more positive person. We are a small business after all, we make mistakes everyday, we are still learning, we are not perfect, we are human. --Mar
How to become this dealer?
When Covid 19 is over with. If I get a job at a casino will they let me wear a mask while I’m on duty to protect myself from Cigarette smokes?
Absolutely! --Mar
@@CEGDealerSchool , Did u mean absolutely man?
I wanna hear the negatives people only talk about the positives of being a dealer
And weed, you can smoke weed off the clock.
I only stay for the money. I hate everything else, everyday I feel like a newbie working their because they have so many supervisors with their own set of rules. No mater how good I try to be, they always fine something bad about me. Hopefully 2 more years and I’m done
Are the 20 min breaks paid?
Yes.
“Hopefully corona virus is done” hahaha ….. yea…..
So the casino is making a fortune and paying their workers like crap? Suprise surprise. Here in Australia it's 25 an hour and tips are illegal
Def not best benefits there are ton of jobs with pensions paid vacations .....nyc garbage man for example 20 year pensions top pay with ot 150k 30 days paid vacation unlimited paid sick ....and that’s just one example I could go on and on
I was hoping you could make some real money dealing. Apparently not.
I can make 400$ a day mowing grass. Make my own schedule and work for who i decide when i decide.
You can't really teach personality and a lot of dealers lack it........it would be nice if it was more respected in casinos but unfortunately some of the people who make decisions don't really have strong personality's so they really don't value that....
Great ass job. ...Unless you’re in NY like me then your just fuckeddddd 🤦♂️
What about night shifts ? Did that have any side effects on you ?
Anyone who has ever had their hours turned completely around, either because of a job or just cause they're a natural night owl, knows what a pain it is. You're asleep when the world is awake and vice versa. I'm a night owl and I hate it. It's hard to take care of any personal business when the world outside of casinos is shut down. Errands, phone calls, shopping, getting your car fixed, anything. You can't just suddenly become a day person on your days off, then switch back to nights for work.
So if I become a dealer do I have 2 kiss the godfathers gold ring??
You ca
If you are not a people person, it is a horrible job. So all of that don't mean a damn thing.
Can’t stand the background music
Dang must be a boring life. 😴
Being puked on is not a great story to even listen to, much less having to convey. Gross. Talk about dirty baby diapers while you're at it. How exciting.
