What They Do

Gaming dealers operate table games like blackjack, poker, roulette, and craps in casinos and other gambling establishments. They shuffle and deal cards, spin roulette wheels, roll dice, and handle chips throughout each game. Dealers monitor gameplay to ensure all bets are placed correctly before starting each round, then calculate and distribute winnings or collect losing bets according to the rules. They maintain the pace of the game while watching for any irregularities or cheating attempts. Between hands or spins, dealers interact with players, answer questions about rules, and help create an enjoyable atmosphere at their table.
