It's a winning streak for job seekers in Aberdeen thanks to Grosvenor Casinos which has helped launch the croupier careers of local trainees.
Eight aspiring casino dealers, aged between 18 and 35, underwent training at a four-week gaming academy, where they learned to host popular games such as blackjack, poker and roulette.
The trainees acquired extensive knowledge from understanding casino terminology to distinguishing between odds and payouts, and even mastered the technique for spinning the roulette ball. They also now have the skills to manage the fast-paced environment of placing guest’s bets at the casino table.
Lynne Cooper, gaming operations manager, said: “We have a strong track record for providing training opportunities for our city’s job seekers to upskill and join our team. A career as a casino dealer is a highly skilled profession which offers flexible working hours and the chance to travel the world and host games for high-net-worth players and at major tournaments. What’s also great is that the academy teaches customer service, mental arithmetic and teamwork, all of which are transferrable skills that will set the recruits up for future.
“We are excited to welcome the eight new recruits to join the team in Aberdeen and wish them all the best for their future careers.”
