Announcing the Inaugural G2E Dealer Championship
Get ready for an exciting event that showcases the skill, precision, and showmanship of casino dealers across the United States. The G2E Dealer Championship is making its debut at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E), taking place from October 6-9, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada [3][4][5].
Organized by RX, this new feature at the 2025 G2E is a testament to the vital role dealers play in the gaming experience. The championship is inspired by and in collaboration with the European Casino Association's European Dealer Championship [1].
The competition is open to full-time, part-time, and dual-rate dealers employed at land-based or online regulated casino operators in the United States. Each casino property may nominate one participant per operator property, with no more than four properties per enterprise considered for participation [2].
Contestants will deal blackjack and traditional roulette for 15 minutes, evaluated on technical skills, hospitality, and game control. Based on the number of participants, the competition will feature a series of elimination rounds to determine the champion and runners-up [6].
Entry for dealers requires nomination through their employer. Debi Nutton, G2E Dealer Championship advisor and a casino industry veteran, stated that the competition is a recognition of the professionalism and talent that drive the industry forward [7].
The championship is not only a competition but also an opportunity to showcase the expertise of dealers while engaging in skill challenges that highlight technical precision, flair, and a commitment to exceptional player experience [8].
The G2E Dealer Championship is more than just a competition; it's a celebration of the best casino dealers in America. The event is supported by Gasser Chair Company Inc. and United States Playing Card Company, which serve as the supporting and title sponsors, respectively [9][10].
The G2E, recognized as one of the largest gaming trade shows in the U.S., is the perfect platform for this inaugural event. Alongside the Dealer Championship, the broader G2E event in 2025 includes ceremonies such as the Gaming Hall of Fame induction, emphasizing its prominence in the legal gaming sector [2].
So, mark your calendars for early October 2025 in Las Vegas. The G2E Dealer Championship promises to be an unforgettable event, spotlighting the best of the best in the casino dealer community.
