Melco Resorts & Entertainment’s Cyprus subsidiary, Melco Cyprus, has launched an in-house table games dealer school ahead of the opening of its €550 million City of Dreams Mediterranean integrated resort next year.
Candidates who enroll will take part in a paid three-month program to receive training from table games experts before going on to become part of the Melco Cyprus family at City of Dreams Mediterranean, Melco said.
Training is set to begin from 5 December and will take place in a space designed according to professional gaming standards, aiming to provide candidates with first-hand experience of actual working environments. The second session will begin on 9 January 2023.
Games to be taught will include roulette, blackjack, Texas Hold’em and other poker games, and baccarat.
“Melco values our people as the company’s most important asset,” said Grant Johnson, Property General Manager City of Dreams Mediterranean and Cyprus Casinos (C2).
“In alignment with our global recruitment philosophy which is to ‘hire on attitude, image and potential and train on skills,’ we focus on selecting talent with the highest potential to serve guests while remaining committed to offering specialised training and career development opportunities.
“As colleagues who interact most with our clientele, dealers are the face of the establishment. They must possess qualities such as adaptability, dexterity, perfectionism and knowledge. Dealing is an artform, and we want to ensure Melco’s dealers master the art through a paid three-month training programme – learning from the best in the industry.”
Melco Cyprus is currently hosting bi-monthly career days for City of Dreams Mediterranean as part of the company’s efforts to fill over 1,000 positions.
