52-Pickup
I don’t know how to shuffle cards. At least not neatly. A few always pop out of my hands or fall to the floor. No biggie, since the card games I play at this (Mommy) stage of life are Go Fish and Uno.
But help is available for folks that can shuffle and want to get a job at a casino. Oklahoma City Community College is offering noncredit online courses in dealing poker, blackjack and baccarat.
The courses are offered through Gatlin Education Services and The Johnny Chan Academy. Chan is 10-time winner of the World Series of Poker.
The courses aren’t cheap. $1,195 for the 75-hour baccarat class, and $1,395 each for the other two classes, which are 100-hours each.
OCCC says students that complete the program get job placement help from the Johnny Chan Academy.
What do you think? I don’t know what dealers earn here or elsewhere. Is this a career gamble that you would take?
