Why is this course right for me?

This course is the number one online solution for poker dealers looking to learn, refine, and perfect their craft. This also is a great way for poker players to learn how to become better players and learn the ins and outs of different poker games. Everyone knows that Texas Hold Em has the biggest pots and payouts, but there are a TON of other opportunities to win a bracelet and do it with less competition. This course will show you how!

What makes this course stand out from others?

This is the ONLY course that provides not just high-level concepts, but also real life scenarios so that you can be prepared for anything that you encounter on the strip. We use the latest technology and our curriculum is delivered by devoted and passionate instructors that are actually working in the industry. If a student wants to receive a Certification, they must receive in person training which Tony Shelton dealing school offers at a discount price for graduates.

Is there really a satisfaction guarantee?

Yes, absolutely! If you don’t feel 100% satisfied after going through the material within 30 days, I will happily refund your money!

Lets Talk

I am Willie, a former military instructor that transitioned from the military into gaming as an entry-level dealer. I saw that dealers in the gaming industry were lacking confidence and were extremely timid in the high-pace environment, despite being certified at a gaming school.

One evening at a cash table I was about to relieve a dealer who was a temp tournament new hire, when I noticed him struggling with tears in his eyes. He had made a few major mistakes and the players were very vocal with their displeasure. I knew if I could just chat with him and show him a few tips he could avoid intense situations like that, however he was too broken and never returned.

It was then that I realized I was going to dedicate my life to empowering poker dealers and help them perform at their highest level.

Since then, I’ve become the School Director and Owner of Premier Dealing Academy & Tony Shelton Dealing School in Las Vegas, Nevada, and have helped thousands of poker dealers learn how to handle intense pressure, run games with confidence, and perform at the highest level to ensure a stable and successful career.

I’m looking forward to helping you become a top-tiered dealer.
