[Ol Dirty Bastard]

1. Casinos do look to hire dealers who are trained by schools.
2. Any school that promises job placement is lieing (a few of the schools make this false claim). The most they will do is tell you how to get to the hiring centers and may have an employee who happens to work in the casino recomend you.
3. I know some people who went to Professional Dealer School.
4. A new dealer can get hired from the Trop, Hilton, Taj, Showboat, Harrahs, Bally's, and Ceasars. Showboat is the only one currently hiring.
5. You will probably get hired as Part Time on Swing or Grave shift. You would probably get 3 days a week or so but remember that if you are working 9-5, you will have 2 hours of commute time, 8 hours of dealing time, and only another 6 to sleep.
6. Its not a matter of references as much as trying to find a casino that is hiring. There are plenty of dealers in AC and there are very few hirings till they do the spring hiring.
