"Allyson and Chad,

We would like to take this opportunity to thank-you both for exceeding our expectations in producing exceptional individuals for our staffing needs since we opened 2 years ago.

The pride and professionalism you both have shown time and time again is the reason we rely on your services and expertise exclusively. You care about the quality of dealers you produce and you have first hand knowledge of what is needed in our ever-evolving industry. The individuals whom are trained by The Casino Institute will no doubt be empowered with the skill set and confidence to succeed in the casino table games profession.

To date over 40% of our table games employees are graduates from The Casino Institute and that is a very impressive percentage!

Thank you again Allyson and Chad for your continued support and for providing us with highly skilled and motivated individuals!"

"Chad Barnett and Allyson Ott are highly skilled and experienced professionals who know their business and the needs of the casinos and individuals they train. The training they administer is highly professional, thorough and even customizable for the individual; not to mention - fun!" Not only will students learn how to deal and supervise all of the most popular table games, but the focus of the "whys" is implemented into every aspect of the training so that the student understands the importance of the task at hand. From mechanics to game protection, the importance of a team effort and the necessity of providing excellent customer service, it is all emphasized and clearly laid out at The Casino Institute. Students can be assured that they will walk out of those doors with the skills and confidence to succeed in whatever new venture they plan to take on in the table games and casino profession.  

I have been in the gaming business for 23 years and have attended uncountable training's, seminars, workshops, etc. My experience at The Casino Institute is one that will stick out and that I will hold onto throughout the remainder of my career."

"We at Santa Ysabel Casino have held a great working relationship with The Casino Institute since we opened. Allyson and her staff are very professional and they take pride in their work. They care about the quality of dealers they produce, which is why we use them exclusively. We recently used her company for casino consulting and training for our Table Games Department and would give high recommendations as would my colleagues from other casinos.

Out of all the schools I visited in the past, The Casino Institute uses the best equipment and the school is always clean when I make visits for prospective employees. I couldn't be happier with the service they have provided our Casino."

"Allyson,
As always, you do an outstanding job with your students. They are always extremely professional in both appearance and demeanor, their communication is great and their dealing abilities are very good. I have to say that you turn out the best students in Southern California. You are the best!"

Best regards,
Doug Tomasini

"Hello Allyson and Chad,
I wanted to thank you again for providing us with the dealers to make the East County's Posse Tournament a success. Without your help we wouldn't have been able to pull it off."

Sincerely,

"I have been doing business with Allyson and Chad from The Casino Institute for many years. I have found them to have the utmost respect for the casino industry as a whole and they have never fallen short to produce top quality dealers for my staffing needs. I recommend The Casino Institute to any individual looking to forward their career and attain top notch training in the process."

"I can't say enough good things about The Casino Institute.  Less than six months ago, my daughter and I walked in to the school and spoke with Allyson Ott. That same day, we signed up, and began shuffling cards. That was the best decision we made. The owners and instructors are top notch, grade A, top-of-the-line, most professional, awesome individuals. In the short amount of time I was at the school, I witnessed Allyson work tirelessly for all her students setting them up for interviews and auditions. Both her and Chad Barnett are well respected in the casino community and prepare their students to be dealers at the highest level. 
Being a table games dealer has always been a dream of mine, and thanks to The Casino Institute (and a lot of hard work on my part), my dream has come true. If your desire or dream is to become a casino dealer, I highly recommend The Casino Institute."

"It is with great enthusiasm that I give this recommendation to Chad Barnett, CFO at The Casino Institute. Rarely have I come across someone in my professional career who has proven himself on a level that Chad has to me in his knowledge, mastery and expertise in the Casino and Gaming Industry. As someone who has chosen this path as my second career, I am very fortunate to have found myself under the tutelage of Chad and the rest of the instructors at The Casino Institute as I move forward in my education within the industry. Chad helps to set an environment conducive to positive learning and accurate and precise techniques all while maintaining and teaching Gaming Policies and Procedures."   

"Allyson is the freakin BEST! She helped me get through school and as hard as she can be, she kept her promises and she really helps you get a job! The teachers are great, they are very smart and helpful and as long as you can take the critique, you will do good in the industry. You meet new people and you learn so much, I highly recommend this dealing school to anyone looking into this field!"

"This is the best place to learn about working in a casino. It's hard to get into a really good job if you're a break-in dealer. This school will perfect you in every way and give you the tools you need to succeed. My friend Janet Pegg, who is a boxwomen at Pala Casino said, "that school turns out the best break-ins I've ever seen." She's been in the business for fifty years!"

"10 out of 10
If you want to get started in the casino industry, The Casino Institute is the best solution. Learn how to proficiently deal every table game with proper game procedure; progress as fast as you'd like. TCI will go above and beyond to prepare students for interviews, auditions, and job placement. They have several great locations with ample parking and the equipment is like-new. I've been in the casino industry since 1990 and have not seen a finer establishment. These guys are awesome!"   

"I have only great things to say about The Casino Institute. Chad and Allyson are both genuinely incredible people and they do an outstanding job with each and every individual. I was very impressed by their professionalism and resources they provide...I highly recommend this facility to anyone serious about being a professional table games dealer!!!"
