Cecil College has added a Casino Gaming School that will prepare participants for a career in table games. Participants can learn how to deal poker, blackjack, craps, roulette and carnival games during classes, which will be offered both in the morning and afternoon.
The course addresses the demand for dealers for more than a dozen casinos in the region that offer table games. According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average starting salary for dealers is $18,000 plus tips with a potential of $50,000 or more per year. Employment for gaming dealers is expected to grow by 17 percent over the next 10 years.
Information sessions will take place at the college’s Elkton Station at 6 p.m. Jan. 21 and 1 p.m. Feb. 4 and on Cecil’s North East campus at 1 p.m. Jan. 23 and 6 p.m. Feb. 6. To learn more about the Cecil College Casino Gaming School, visit www.cecil.edu/casino.
