How to become a Craps dealer

Most craps players who really love the game have thought about becoming a craps dealer at one point or another in their lives. The reasons are varied but for most people, craps dealing sounds like a labour of love. After all, how great would it be to wake up every day and go to a job you really love? If you are serious about becoming a craps dealer, here are some pointers to get you started on the right foot.

Most people are eligible to become a craps dealer, but you have to have a clean legal record. You should also consider the job description to see if you would be a good match. Good craps dealers are good with people. The casino wants you to entertain their guests, and you want to get good tips. Thus, being an upbeat ‘people person’ is pretty much the hallmark of a good craps dealer. Also, good craps dealers can think on their feet. You need to make changes, and keep track of the many bets on the table. Also, once you have learned the rules of the game, you need to quickly be able to know what each roll of the dice means for the bets on the table.

You will probably be required to take a full training course, offered by an accredited craps dealing school. Here you will learn all of the rules of the game, your responsibilities, and get lots of practice to sharpen your skills. It is absolutely invaluable to becoming a real craps dealer. Some casinos will even pay for you to attend a dealer school on the condition that you will work for them upon graduation.
