1 Share of the gaming dealer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the gaming inspector profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A gaming dealer role treats 9 of its required skills as things a gaming inspector already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • casino game rules
  • communicate with customers
  • conduct gambling games
  • follow ethical code of conduct of gambling
  • identify customer's needs
  • operate games

What stands in the way is 11 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A gaming dealer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a gaming inspector background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held train dealers in gaming communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held conduct gambling games communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held operate games communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held casino game rules business, administration and law
  • already held responsible gambling health and welfare
  • already held show good manners with players assisting and caring

All 14 carried skills, including the 9 the gaming dealer role treats as required.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
