    Learning / Curriculum
  • The learner should practise dealing poker to company procedures on a daily basis, until the learner can deal 45 hands per hour and can accept change/transactions without interrupting the flow of the game. (Range: drop cutting, cutting into, pushing stacks, shuffling cards, dealing cards).
  • The learner must be able to open and close the tables covering all of the range.
  • The learner must be 100% accurate when doing stack conversions.
  • Special emphasis must be placed on pace, manual dexterity and the learner's ability to use the appropriate kinaesthetic intelligence/visual cues/auditory cues when dealing.
  • Role-plays can be used until the learner has gained confidence.

    Performance systems
  • Ongoing measurement of the learner's ability to meet this standard is recommended.
  • A new employee should be able to achieve this unit within 2 months of being trained.
