Who wants to be a croupier

Becoming a croupier can be a fun and exciting job where you get to meet a lot of people. But what most people don't understand is that croupiers must understand their games inside out. For example if you want to be a croupier the video poker section of the casino you must know the basic strategy for all variations of video poker. In addition you must know the odds of each play and situation when playing any videopokers. 

At first this might not sound so challenging but it does requires some basic maths and more importantly memorization. If you want to find out just play at a blackjack or roulette table and ask your croupier as many questions as you can think of. You will realize that these dealers know their game inside out and can give you answers without hestitation. The same situation applies for video poker, just ask the dealer what are the odds of hitting a royal flush with 3 to a royal. Once you know the odds ask them what is the proper play for that situation. Of course don't ask them to help you with every hand but do it a few times and you'll realize that they have over 50 players memorized that make up basic strategy for video poker.
