Start with the role and the employer
Casino dealers conduct table games and manage play according to the venue’s rules. Jobs and Skills Australia describes gaming work as including dealing games and checking that bets follow the rules.
When comparing vacancies, ask the employer about its recruitment process, dealer training, assessment, shift requirements and the experience it expects. Prepare examples of your customer service, accuracy and ability to follow procedures.
Check licensing for the state where you will work
Requirements depend on the role and jurisdiction. In NSW, casino work involving money or chips, gaming equipment or oversight of gaming activities requires a casino special employee licence. The NSW Government says you can apply only when employed or contracted to work in a casino. Check the official application guidance with your employer before arranging checks or paying fees.
Choose training that matches your duties
Casino licensing and Responsible Conduct of Gambling training are separate requirements. NSW RCG training applies to work involving gaming machines. Ask your prospective employer which training applies to the particular role; an RCG course does not itself qualify you as a casino dealer or grant a casino employee licence.
Catch Training offers Responsible Conduct of Gambling and Responsible Service of Alcohol courses. Check the course information and confirm what your role needs before booking.
