Unemployed are Learning to deal with Cards at Casino School

Laid off residents of Ohio are coming to Michigan to learn gambling in a novel way. They are joining at ABC School of Bartending and Casino College in southeastern Michigan to learn the art of dealing with cards. They are planing to return to casinos competing for the casino jobs.

The school teaches the students how to count poker chips, manage the game of blackjack, deal with cards to operate a casino. The students from Ohio are hoping these lessons will help them to get an edge over the other applicants for the jobs at the new casinos at Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo and Columbus.

In the past 2 years the school has trained more than 200 Ohio residents who are looking to find a job at different casinos opening at Ohio. In November 2009 the Ohio passed a constitutional amendment which allow the casinos to be built across state. The 300 hour study of certification is not mandatory to get a job at the casinos but according to the students the course is helping the certified applicants to stay ahead from the others.
