G2E INTRODUCES FIRST-EVER U.S. DEALER CHAMPIONSHIP

Nominations are now open for casino dealers

LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, July 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The inaugural G2E Dealer Championship will debut this year at Global Gaming Expo 2025, presented by the American Gaming Association (AGA) and organized by RX. The much anticipated competition brings together top casino dealers across the U.S. to compete for the title of the best dealer in America.

The multi-day event will culminate in cash prizes for the top three competitors. Additional details and nomination eligibility can be found by visiting www.globalgamingexpo.com.

The competition is open to full-time, part-time, and dual-rate dealers employed at land-based or online legal, regulated casino operators in the United States and requires nomination through their employer. Each casino property may nominate a maximum of one participant per operator property, with no more than four properties per enterprise considered for participation. Every participating dealer must be accompanied by a table games executive from the same property, who will also serve as a judge during the event.

Contestants will each deal Blackjack and traditional Roulette for 15 minutes, evaluated on technical skills, hospitality, and game control. Participation in both games is required. Based on the number of participants, the competition will feature a series of elimination rounds to determine the champion and runners-up.

“We’re thrilled to introduce the inaugural G2E Dealer Championship as one of the exciting new additions to this year’s event,” said Korbi Carrison, RX’s Event Vice President for G2E. “This competition celebrates the incredible skill, precision, and showmanship of casino dealers across the country as well as highlights the vital role they play in the gaming experience. The dynamic and engaging experience will recognize top talent and is sure to bring even more energy to the show floor.”

“This is more than a competition – it’s a recognition of the professionalism and talent that drive our industry forward,” said Debi Nutton, casino industry veteran and G2E Dealer Championship advisor. “Dealers are an integral part of the gaming experience, and the face of the industry for so many guests. I’m proud to help shine a spotlight on their craft at the industry’s biggest stage.”
