A sign outside the college's Pottstown campus announces availability of casino training

POTTSTOWN PA – A free information and registration session on learning to become a casino dealer, which potentially could lead to a job at the Valley Forge Casino Resort scheduled to open next spring in King of Prussia PA, will be held Thursday (Jan. 5, 212) from 7-9 p.m. in the South Hall community room at the West campus of Montgomery County Community College, College Drive, Pottstown PA.

The college has partnered with the resort, located at the Valley Forge Convention Center complex on the east side of U.S. Route 422 at First Avenue, to train its dealer candidates. Attendance at the informational session is required to be considered for employment, the college said Thursday (Dec. 29, 2011) on its website.

A similar session is being held in the grand ballroom of the convention center’s Valley Forge Radisson Hotel, 1160 First Ave., King of Prussia. Advance registration is required for either information session; call 215-641-6550 or use an online form here.

Those accepted into the program will “learn everything (they) need to know to become a dealer and begin a potentially lucrative career in the exciting casino industry,” the college promotional material claimed. Its classes are scheduled to begin Jan. 12.

The college said it created a “state-of-the-art mock casino training center, equipped with 14 tables,” where students can “acquire the gaming skills leading toward obtaining a dealer license.” Its courses include Introduction to Table Games, Blackjack and Carnival Games, Craps, Roulette, Mini Baccarat, and emergency cardio-pulmonary resuscitation.

Candidates for the courses and employment must be 18 years or older. Obtaining a course Certificate of Completion does not guarantee employment with the casino, the college warned.
