Weeks three to six will outline more advanced techniques required in casinos; members will practice games like blackjack and poker.
They will receive guidance on how to deal, collect cards and announce bets or hands in games; they will also be instructed on how to manage customer pressure and ensure a high standard of service during play.
The team members will additionally learn how to watch out for cheat moves and how to open and close tables.
