With casinos all across the united States beginning to add table games to their casinos and gambling facilities, more and more colleges are now offering training classes. The casinos and facilities are in need of dealers and so the colleges are offering classes to teach students how to play the games so they can get jobs at the casinos.

The New River Community and Technical College in West Virginia is the most recent school to begin offering the training classes. The college classes are for roulette, craps, blackjack and three card poker. the classes take place at the New River Table Games Training Center which is in White Sulphur Springs.

The classes last about four hours and take place Monday through Friday. the classes began on April 26th and will continue until June 4th. The training courses cost $675 and there is a $100 licensing fee due once the course has been completed. Dealers must be certified before they can apply for a job. The state of West Virginia requires that all of their dealers are licensed.

Dealers will learn all the rules and regulations of the games such as three card poker and roulette and then apply them to get a job as a dealer at one of the casinos or gaming facilities in the area.
