No prior experience is required. Our programs are designed for beginners as well as those looking to refine their skills. We provide all the foundational training needed to start your career as a professional casino dealer.
Students must be at least 18 years old to enroll. However, most casinos require dealers to be 21 due to alcohol regulations. We train students of both ages and advise accordingly based on local employment opportunities.
Course durations vary depending on the game and the student’s progress. On average, programs range from 3 to 6 weeks. We offer flexible scheduling so students can move at their own pace.
Yes. Students who successfully demonstrate full competency and pass their evaluations will receive a Table Games Academy Certification, which is recognized by local and regional casinos.
We currently offer training in Blackjack, Roulette, Ultimate Texas Hold’em, Pai Gow, Dai Bacc (Baccarat), Spanish 21, Free Bet Blackjack, and Chase the Flush. Each course is taught in-depth with live table simulations.
While we do not guarantee employment, we provide guidance on job placement, interview prep, and audition readiness. Our certification meets industry standards and is respected by local employers.

Before joining Table Games Academy, I had no experience in the casino industry and wasn’t even sure where to start. The instructors made everything feel approachable, even the technical parts I thought would be overwhelming—like dealing multiple hands at once or managing payouts under pressure. Their one-on-one coaching and mock auditions gave me the confidence I needed to walk into my first job interview and pass my dealer audition on the first try. I now work full-time at a local casino, and every shift feels like I’m building a real career.

The training at Table Games Academy went far beyond just learning how to deal cards. I was taught how to present myself professionally, handle tough player situations, and stay calm under pressure. The environment was supportive, yet challenging, which really pushed me to improve each day. I appreciated that they didn’t hand out certifications until you were truly ready—it made me trust the process even more. Thanks to TGA, I walked into my new job feeling like I already had months of experience behind me.

I took courses in Blackjack, Roulette, and Pai Gow, and every single instructor brought deep knowledge and passion to the table. The facility felt like a real casino floor, which helped me get comfortable with live game scenarios early on. I also liked that the training was flexible—I worked a part-time job while completing the program. Within weeks of graduating, I was hired at a new card room opening nearby. I still use what I learned at TGA every day, and it’s helped me build strong relationships with both players and coworkers.
