    Dealing blackjack can pay $100,000 a year, doesn't require a college degree, and often has benefits.


    For a young person trying to build a bankroll, it's not a bad option.

    Ebt is a government assistance program where they give you money for food for being low-income. You can imagine the people.

I am worried that during the background investigation they will find me in the casinos internal or external database and drop my application. Does anyone know if having previously counted cards at a casino and then becoming a table games dealer would disqualify you from the position? Please let me know I didn't mention it during the interview and have been paranoid if it will come up. -Thank you
    Update for everyone!
    I just got approved for my gaming license. My concerns showed no issue thankfully, I can now relax and enjoy my steady employment!
