The G2E Dealer Championship is set to make its debut at the 25th anniversary of the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas, taking place from October 6-9, 2025, at The Venetian Expo [2][3][4][1]. This exciting new competition aims to showcase the expertise of casino dealers across the United States and engage in skill challenges that highlight technical precision, flair, and a commitment to exceptional player experience.

Eligibility

Although specific eligibility requirements for the G2E Dealer Championship have yet to be fully detailed, it is open to full-time, part-time, and dual-rate dealers employed at land-based or online regulated casino operators in the United States [2][3]. Each casino property may nominate one participant per operator property, with no more than four properties per enterprise considered for participation [1].

Judging Criteria

Although precise judging criteria for the G2E Dealer Championship have not been publicly disclosed, typical dealer competitions evaluate aspects such as dealing speed, accuracy, customer service, game knowledge, and professionalism [2][3]. Given G2E’s reputation, the competition likely includes similar standards.

The G2E 2025 event, including the Dealer Championship, is scheduled for October 6-9, 2025. Education sessions run throughout the event, while the Expo Hall, where the event and related activities occur, is open from October 7-9 [1][4]. The exact timing of the Dealer Championship within these dates has not been specified but will occur during the main event days.

Sponsors and Collaborations

The G2E Dealer Championship is supported by Gasser Chair Company Inc. and United States Playing Card Company, with the latter serving as the title sponsor [1]. The competition is also inspired by and in collaboration with the European Casino Association's European Dealer Championship.

Debi Nutton, G2E Dealer Championship advisor and a casino industry veteran, stated that the competition is more than a competition - it's a recognition of the professionalism and talent that drive the industry forward [1].

The Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas is hosting the inaugural G2E Dealer Championship, with the aim to recognise top talent and bring more energy to the show floor.
