Foxwoods Dealing Jobs

[Rick Nebiolo]

Foxwoods is planning a major poker expansion early next year and, according to rumors, Mohegan Sun may reopen a poker room some time in the future.

Is anyone on the forum familiar with dealing opportunities at Foxwoods? (I’m asking on behalf of someone very close to me). It’s safe to assume this person will be a potentially excellent dealer. Some questions:

Does Foxwoods require a particular poker dealing school? If not, does anyone recommend a good poker dealing school in the Connecticut, Rhode Island area?

What games would an entry-level dealer deal (e.g. 1-4 stud, small no limit, 2-4 holdem). This person hopes to practice at home in addition to going to dealer school.

Are there reasonable prospects of getting a job? (Note that this person is a personable, well-groomed male in his mid forties whose former data processing career has been largely outsourced).

Anyone have other thoughts on the Foxwoods dealing job i.e., tips, working conditions, opportunities to advance etc.?

All help/thoughts appreciated.

Regards,

Rick
