Gambling by degrees

Article Abstract:

Gambling has traditionally had a negative reputation, with casino staff operating mainly by instinct. However, there is now a shift in the UK towards formal training for casino staff.

This course has also allowed casino staff to meet staff from other leading casino companies.
