A PAGCOR Casino Dealer

People apply in PAGCOR because most of them want to be a casino dealer. It’s a most sought-after position in the company and we can’t blame them. Being a dealer is financially rewarding and can set one off to a lifetime career that promises much growth and opportunity. Most of all, it exposes one to the glittering world of high rollers and assorted characters that we only get to see in the movies.The question is: how does one go about in applying for the job?

The key is in knowing whether you meet the desired qualifications.

Right age. PAGCOR implements a strict screening process and will only accept applications from those within the 21 to 30 years age limit. If, for example, you are three months short of your 21st birthday, you have to wait until you turn 21 before your application can be entertained.

Educational attainment. One must have taken 80 units of tertiary schooling. Better if one has graduated from any course in college. PAGCOR – Human Resource Department will ask for a copy of your Transcript of Records for screening purposes, so have one ready.

Proficiency with numbers. Being a dealer requires one to compute bets, which may range from small to big. As an applicant, be prepared to take a series of exams. It will start with a general IQ exam and if you pass this, you will take another test dealing with purely Math questions.

Physical attributes. As a customer service frontliner, it goes without saying that one must have a pleasing, outgoing personality. Height requirements include being at least five feet two inches for the females, and being at least 5 feet six inches, for the males.

Medical records. As being a dealer can be a physically-taxing job and sometimes requires long hours of standing, the corporation requires all successful applicants to pass a comprehensive medical exam. Unfortunately, one will be discouraged from pursuing the application further if there’s a personal history of asthma. Those with scoliosis will only be allowed if curvature of the spine is only up to 10 degrees, and does not occur on both sides of the spine.

A few questions to ask yourself. If one is able to pass the exam and go through the panel interview, one will probably be asked about one’s life goals and purpose for applying. Being a dealer calls for a different kind of lifestyle, one which requires one to go through graveyard shifts and work during holidays. You need to prepare yourself physically and mentally before taking the plunge.

Formal training in a casino school. Still interested in becoming a dealer after reading this? You will be trained for free by the masters if you pass the battery of exams with flying colors. But if you can’t wait and want to have formal training in casino dealing added to your roster of achievements, PAGCOR’s Asian Gaming Academy offers Certificate Courses in Blackjack and Baccarat. For a minimal investment, it’s a great chance to learn from seasoned instructors and feel the vibe of real-world gaming in a simulated environment.
