A poker dealer oversees poker games at a casino or tournament and keeps gameplay moving. Their job duties are to shuffle the deck, deal cards to the players, turn over community cards, and collect folded hands. As gameplay progresses, other responsibilities are to monitor the pot, announce all bets and raises, and identify winning hands. A poker dealer also retains the correct cut for the house. There are few qualifications to become a poker dealer. Familiarity with the rules of the game and its variations is essential, including traditional poker, Texas Hold’em, and Pot Limit Omaha.
