The highly skilled profession offers flexible working hours as well as the chance to host games all over the world.
The eight aspiring casino dealers, aged between 18 and 35, underwent thorough training at a four-week gaming academy, where they learned to host popular games such as blackjack, poker, and roulette.

The trainees acquired extensive knowledge from understanding casino terminology to distinguishing between odds and payouts, and even mastered the technique for spinning the roulette ball. They also now have the skills to manage the fast-paced environment of placing guest’s bets at the casino table.
Lewis Wilson, a 24-year-old trainee from Aberdeen, said: "My time at the gaming academy was unforgettable. It was challenging at times because I was always learning something new, but it was a blast. There was a lot to remember with the variety of games, but we were all learning together and the other trainees made the whole experience a memorable one.
"The training keeps going even after you leave the academy, and Grosvenor has been so supportive helping to make the experience fun every day."
