Jobseekers Encouraged To Try London Casino

London casino croupier explains the benefits of working at a casino table.

A gambling venue in London is urging people to consider a job as a casino dealer.

As unemployment in the capital continues to rise due to the recession, Paddington Casino aims to offer a solution with its training course for novice croupiers.

The casino currently operates a four-week training school to help newcomers get to grips with the table rules for blackjack, roulette and poker games, the Wembley and Kingsbury Times reports.

Shellie Diable, a 20-year-old croupier at the venue, told the newspaper that pursuing a career as a casino dealer can be a rewarding choice.

"When you talk about croupiers most people think of James Bond and tuxedos but it's not really like that," she explained.

"What we have here is a real community and a great bunch of people."

The gaming floor at Paddington Casino includes several blackjack and roulette tables, as well as three-card poker and Texas hold'em games. Visitors can also try their luck on slot machines such as Fort Knox, Cleopatra and Pharaoh's Fortune.
