My recent family issues seem to be behind me now, my father has been ill recently so that has been taking up my time. Thankfully he is now OK and I went on my usual Friday night casino trip.
I would rather not say where it was for the reason being that I don’t want anyone to make the connection between me and what I have done in the past. It would just be my rotten luck that someone from the casino or that company read this blog 
Anyway, I spent my time watching the dealers and I couldn’t believe how bad they were. I could never understand this years ago, I mean the job of a croupier can be considered professional.
It is not a job where you can walk straight in off the street and do it. You first have to have six weeks basic training but even after that six week period then you are not much good to the casino and have to be supervised very closely.
You would never be able to get a job at another casino with just six weeks training behind you. So even then you wouldn’t really be able to do much. Most casinos wouldn’t touch a dealer with much less than six months experience.
So what this means is that for a croupier to be of real use to a casino then they really need to have some considerable experience behind them. So why then do land based casino chains (especially in the UK) pay their staff so little compared to the job that they do and the profits that they make?
It is no wonder why so many staff leave casinos, a combination of poor to mediocre pay, anti-social working hours and often…..ill treatment from casino managers who think that they can talk to grown men and women like they are school children.
If these criteria were different then there wouldn’t be as much need for training schools and becoming a croupier would be far more difficult than what it really is.
I am actually starting to see the role of an online casino in a completely different light recently and they certainly rightfully take their place in the casino world there is no doubt about that.
