"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 two years ago. The pride and professionalism you both have shown time and time again is the reason why 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 who 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!"

"It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for the Casino Institute located in beautiful San Diego, California. 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 tasks 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 was particularly impressed with how personable Chad and Allyson are. It is not all about the training. It is about developing a relationship with their students and clients. Isn't that what business is all about?...Relationships? So, not only is the Casino Institute an excellent school that focuses on casino training, it is also a great model of any business in general, in my strong opinion. This is evident by the continued connection they maintain with their students and clients. In my experience, they will also go out of their way to introduce the student to their new network of clientele, casino personnel, and great friends in general, like everybody is a part of an ever-growing family. I've been in the gaming business for 23 years and have attended uncountable training 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."

"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. In fairness, I do have to say that Peter at Jack Black Dealing School in Rialto does a great job too, but you are the best! We still have a few more positions open, so if you have any more students that are ready, please send them. Hope I can make it down to see your remodel soon. Give me a call sometimes."
Best regards,
Doug Tomasini.

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.
