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.

Familiarity with card shuffling machines, table game procedures, and casino management systems is often required. Outstanding customer service, communication, and conflict resolution skills help create a positive gaming experience and manage table dynamics. These competencies are crucial for ensuring fair play, efficient game flow, and maintaining a professional, enjoyable atmosphere for players.
