First Steps on the Floor

Gaming Lessons

The gaming instruction programme at was established on the principle that the casino floor belongs to those who understand it - and that understanding is a matter of teaching, not chance. Sessions are conducted before floor hours by senior croupiers with a minimum of a decade's experience, in a setting that carries none of the pressure of live play. The programme is equally suited to a first-time visitor who has never sat at a blackjack table and to a seasoned player seeking a more technical grasp of baccarat strategy and table etiquette.

Gaming Lessons

Private One-to-One Instruction

Each session is conducted individually or for groups of no more than four, ensuring the croupier's attention remains undivided and the pace adjusts continuously to the student's rate of comprehension.

Full Table Game Curriculum

The instruction programme covers blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and three-card poker in full - including hand signals, betting structure, table etiquette, and the probability principles that underlie each game's mechanics.

Conducted on Live Equipment

Lessons take place at actual gaming tables on the floor, using regulation cards, chips, and roulette wheels - so the transition from instruction to live play involves no environmental adjustment whatsoever.

Historical Context of Each Game

Senior croupiers open each session with a brief account of the game's origins - blackjack's French antecedents, baccarat's passage through the courts of Naples - connecting the play to the long tradition it inherits.

Flexible Scheduling

Sessions are bookable at any point during a stay and run between sixty and ninety minutes, beginning at 9 a.m. before the floor opens - a window that guarantees undisturbed instruction without background activity.

VIP Club Pathway

Guests who complete the full four-game instruction programme and subsequently join the Casino VIP Club receive their first month of membership at no charge - a formal introduction to both the floor and the circle that knows it best.
