EXPERIENCE
Our instructors offer a combination of 18 years of experience. Both instructors have comprehensive knowledge and experience dealing Pit Games and Poker. Our knowledge also extends to Floor Supervising and Shift Managing. In addition, they both have over 3 years of teaching experience.
QUALITY
SGA was born because too many dealers straight out of school failed because they did not get an adequate education. We stress accuracy, speed, game protection and total knowledge of each game. We will not settle for mediocre-each student must master each game and pass a rigorous exam in order to earn our certificate. Our program is demanding and challenging, we only certify quality dealers.
REPUTATION
We are proud to have the best reputation among the others in the area. Recommended by many General, Shift, and other hiring managers in the Greater Seattle area.

TESTIMONIAL
“Romi and Mylan are not only very experienced and skilled dealers they are also very thorough and patient teachers. They truly care about their students’ success and are very helpful and supportive. I came to the school with absolutely no background whatsoever in gambling. Romi and Mylan taught me how to play and deal all of the games. They helped me get a job at one of the better casinos in the area and helped me prepare to deal the specific games I would need to deal besides the ones I had originally learned in school."

“Having been a poker player for two years, I decided a job as a dealer would be a lot of fun. I chose to train at Seattle Gaming Academy for their flexible scheduling and was not at all disappointed. I worked at my own pace and was certified as a poker dealer within a month. “

“I came to the Seattle Gaming Academy after the Casino Dealer School, where I had been going, closed down. It was a great experience and I was able to get a dealer job soon after I graduated. Romi and Mylan are excellent teachers and very knowledgeable about the casino industry. I recommend the Seattle Gaming Academy to everyone who wants to become a dealer. “

“I highly recommend Seattle Gaming Academy. In a little over a month, Romi and Mylan took me from not being able to properly shuffle a deck of cards to being a fully trained, employable poker dealer. They are fully knowledgeable in all aspects of casino gaming. They care about their students and their methods are efficient, non critical, and a heck of a lot of fun. Make the first step to your gaming career a course at Seattle Gaming Academy. “
