Anna Introduced

Hi Anna. Welcome to Live Casinos. Let’s start by telling us what tables you operate?

I present on XL, but sometimes help out on the other tables/shows we offer as well.

Do you enjoy working with Authentic Gaming?

Yes, I really do! When I started my job as a dealer, to be honest, I just wanted to try it. In my previous job I was pretty unhappy, I was in charge of a lot of things and had a hard time separating my work from my private life.

I tried becoming a dealer before, but I was unsuccessful at it. After applying again, I did manage to get the job. Now I am a dealer at Authentic Gaming and I truly like it. This is really different from any other job. In most other companies it can be pretty boring, but here we have Blaze Live Roulette and XL Roulette.

The difference with ‘Classic styled’ roulette tables is that you can talk about the games and take the players with you. I love to talk to the players even if it is through a camera, instead of face to face.

What’s your favorite Authentic Gaming table/game?

Blaze Live roulette is my number 1. After that, I’d have to say XL Roulette. Once again you can talk a lot on these tables and share the knowledge you have with the players and try to inspire them. It takes these tables to the next level. You might think, why not XL Roulette? Because I do like to spin as well and on XL we have an automatic roulette. It just that tiny difference that makes Blaze my number 1.

What did you do before you became a live dealer at Authentic Gaming?

Before I started working at Authentic Gaming I was a dealer too. In that company, I was a dealer on Blackjack and Baccarat tables, but it was different. There I had to be just a Classic dealer and I can imagine this is nice for a lot of players. But for a person who loves to chat a bit, it can be a bit boring. Before that, I was a manager in the restaurant of my fiancé. It was a nice job, but in this case, it was a bit harder to separate work from our private life. Now I do not have that issue anymore!

Favorite Part of the Job?

How did you decide to become a live casino dealer?

Before I started working as a dealer, I was a manager. But as I said before, it was too much work. I wanted to separate my private life from the working one. I knew one of the dealers and he tipped me off on working as a dealer. The actual decision was kind of a gamble for me. I wasn’t too sure I liked the way it sounded, but did want to try it. Now I really like that I made that choice!

What kind of training did you need to do and how long did it take before you could work as a live dealer?

When I started at a previous company, they said I would have 14 days of training. Actually, it was 5 days of training for all card games and roulette. When I started at Authentic Gaming, of course, I had an introduction as well. The technique is pretty much the same, but we do have a difference in for example the acting. Which is important here.

What is your favorite part of the job?

I like being in front of the camera and to speak to the players, of course. At first, I wanted to join a land-based casino, because I like casino games. But now I have the games and talking to the players combined!

How do you think the live casino vertical is reshaping the entire casino industry?

I think for some people it is better than the online casino world is growing. If it comes down to people deciding not to go to a land-based casino, then it has to do with the fact that online games, for example, offer pretty much the same experience. But people will probably still go to experience the atmosphere. It’s just a different audience.

What is your advice for people who are thinking about becoming live dealers?

It is not the right job for you if you don’t want to make any mistakes in front of the camera. For example, when you get stuck while speaking. It happens to all of us and can be a bit funny for us and the players from time to time. And of course, you would need to be able to work strange hours and be able to work in shifts. That sounds simple, but can be a challenge for some.

What do you like to do for fun in your leisure time when you’re not working as a live dealer?

Usually, I like to do photography, so taking some beautiful pictures can definitely be considered my hobby. But I haven’t done it for a while, to be honest. Nowadays I like to go to the gym, to take care of my body and of my health.
