My name is Ruben Rodriguez and I am the proud owner and founder of Elite Casino Dealer Academy. In 2011 I was desperate to find a job and was having no success. This was when my friend and I decided that a Poker Dealer School was needed in the Tampa Bay Area. We had our first meeting at a local Dairy Queen, and Elite Casino Dealer Academy was created. Ever since then we have been teaching our students how to become a professional poker dealer using all of the industry standards.

Our instructors have 30 plus years of combined experience. This gives the student a great learning experience from teachers that have done very well in this industry and have been able to see the many characteristics that make a top poker dealer.

When you graduate from Elite Casino Dealer Academy you will not only be prepared to succeed when the opportunity arises, you will also have the ability to work in any card room in the country.

Our casino/poker school created the extensive poker dealing classes to help you learn everything you need to know and get a poker dealer job immediately after training. We have been in the poker business for over 25 years, so we know just how to assist you and help with local auditions in Florida Poker Rooms when you are done training with us. Esther Fung hired as a poker dealer Marysville Casino, April 2017. Is now dealing at Lady Luck in Blackhawk, CO. Is now a Casino Dealer at Bullwhackers in Blackhawk, CO.
