 From 23 April 2008, Venice will host the ECA European Dealer Championship 2008, which will allow dealers from all over Europe to show their skills at Blackjack, Baccarat and American Roulette tables. This will be the second edition of the event but it has already become one of the most important tournaments in the European gaming calendar.
“A good dealer might make it look simple, but dealing a table game is no easy matter. It takes a true professional to deal a busy Baccarat, Blackjack or Roulette table and still entertain guests at the same time,” Ron Goudsmit, ECA Chairman, said. Goudsmit also mentioned hospitality and communication skills as essential characteristics of dealers who focus on serving guests in a professional way.
Those characteristics will be judged by the judges’ panel as well as technical expertise and control of the game. Such skills help to create an inviting, safe, fun and fair environment in casinos around Europe and demonstrate that European dealers have high levels of professionalism.
Last year, Paul van Leeuwen was the winner of the ECA European Dealer Championship. The Dutch player defeated competitors from 10 different countries during a two-day final that took place at Torrequebrada, Spain.
