About US

Classes start when you arrive! CEG provides a very flexible environment. We have teachers who provide direct instruction in “Chapters”.

We use Tablets and checklists to follow your progress. At CEG, it’s not about hours, it’s about progress.

There are always teachers on the floor to give you a few things to practice, perfect and advance your knowledge and skills. Eventually you start simulating a dealer and putting it all together. Our teachers continue to interact with you for as long as your on the instruction floor. They are there to coach, correct and congratulate.

When your ready, you ask for an audition. The first audition is typically to see what you’re missing and to fine tune anything left. Then, when you’re finally ready, you take that last audition to pass and be certified.

When you are ready to start, just come in, register and pick a day and time you would like to begin. It can be right after we are finished with your paperwork.

We will give you a tour and introduce you to an Instructor who will get you started on Chapter 1.

On your first day, you will connect with an instructor who will teach you Chapter 1. After that class you will be given things to practice and perfect. When you are ready, an Instructor will re-connect with you and teach you Chapter 2.

Eventually you will become proficient enough to start a dealing rotation with other advanced students. All the while, our instructors walk the floor and monitor your progress. 

There are a few exceptions like Craps, Poker and Single Zero which are more structured. When you are ready to take these courses, check the times and dates of the next class.

That’s really up to you. We have students who can only spare an hour a few times a week. 

Keep in mind, the more hours, the faster you can graduate and get a job, but we are happy to work with your schedule.

On the whole we recommend about 20 hours a week. 

The average person who attends the school 2-3 hours a day for 4 days a week can complete a regular course in approximately one month. The one exception is Craps which takes a minimum of 2-4 months.

Everyone is different, has different priorities and different ways of processing new information. 

We have seen people complete courses in 2 weeks and be working within 4 to 6 weeks. 

A starting dealer will make from $17 to $20 an hour, including tips. The more games, the more options and the easier it is to get you a higher starting wage that includes tips. 

After you spend time breaking in at your first casino, your second job should put you in the $20+ an hour range. 

Mid-level casino dealers easily make $25 to $30 an hour, while top tier Dealers can make more than $80K a year with some jobs surpassing $100k. 

Absolutely. More than likely you will start part-time. We do have some casinos that offer full time shifts after your probation, but these typically require you know 3 games with Craps. 

NO NO and NO. This is a frequent concern. We have students who start training at 20 and some who are in their 70s or even older. 

In general casinos have no real preference in terms of age.

There are certain properties who hire “model dealers” for certain types of interactive or party pits. These dealers must meet specific criteria in terms of dress, gender, age or talent. In total, these dealers represent a very small segment of the dealer population and those we train or place.

If you’re young, this question is probably not on your list.

For our older viewers, it’s time to rejoice. You have traded good skin and knees for the perception of being more reliable and centered. Way to go!!

Yep, age is not an issue. Come on down and see us.
