If you're a good flourisher and knows some gamblers routines/moves you'll be fine:)
But be careful.. They don't want any scammers!!

i don't agree with hoax at all....they don't want magicians...they want dealers....and magicians don't make good dealers.
they may not see your magical training as an asset....casinos have very strick guidelines when it comes to the way the dealers handle cards....
they train new dealers to move quickly and efficiently, with no wasted effort or motion....so that they can deal as many hands per hour as possible and with everyone using the exact same method for dealing, it makes spotting crooked dealers much easier.....
they may find it easier to train someone with no skills to deal correctly, than it would be to try and change your training.
i could never be a professional dealer.....the idea of having a deck of cards in my hands for 8 or 10 hours and not being able to do one trick or a single flourish....i'd wash out in no time.
i imagine most magicians would. but thats just my opinion.

They want people that can handle a deck of carda and knows what to look for.. But yeah, I don't think they want some pro magician that can easily scam them..

Lol, I totally agree with you.. Haha!
I suggest you get a job at a restaurant or at a bar or any other places where you can earn some cash from performing magic and not just dealing cards to random people..lol
