Inside the Hard Rock Northern Indiana Trainee Dealer Course
$5,000 Welcome Bonus
The 10-week trainee dealer course is taking place inside the pavilion of Majestic Star in Gary, Indiana. It's training new recruits for Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana, which is located inside Majestic Star.
Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana is looking to hire 200 new dealers. The new casino resort will open in the spring of 2021. Thomas Gutierrez started as a dealer and is now the director of table games at the new resort.
Josh Cole is a dealer at Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati. He teaches the new employees the skills required to deal craps. The new trainee dealers are taught how to cut casino chips, push the dice across the table while calling each dice roll and most importantly, how they should engage everyone around the board.
“Learning craps is like learning a foreign language when you consider all of its terms and its order of operation.”
"We can teach the fundamentals and procedures of the game. We can't teach personality. It's key."
The casino property is recruiting for restaurant managers, chefs, cooks, bartenders, servers and cashiers. The incentives are great as everyone who graduates the training course receives a bonus of up to $2,000, full benefits and a chance for a new career.
It has been a tough year for people in the hospitality industry. The project is on track to give the area a much needed economic boost.
