For casino dealer schools
Drill payouts on their phone. Keep class time on the felt.
Instructor table hours are your biggest cost after rent. Riffle & Box moves payout math, pay order and house-rule drills onto students’ phones between classes, and gives your instructors a proctored gauntlet and a printable readiness report.
By track
What students drill on their phone, and what you keep on the felt
Blackjack and table games
On their phone: Blackjack pays at 3 to 2 and 6 to 5, pay order, pai gow poker and Pai Gow Tiles, and the other table-games payouts and procedures.
On your felt: Pitch, shoe, chip cutting, card pickup order, posture and calling the floor.
Proctored gauntlet: 50-hand blackjack gauntlet, 49 right to pass. Pai Gow Tiles has its own 50-item gauntlet, 49 right to pass.
Craps
On their phone: Place bets, true odds, horn bets, hop bets, presses and come bets.
On your felt: Stick handling, calls, chips in the rack and working with a base partner.
Proctored gauntlet: Base gauntlet, 45 of 50 to pass. Stick gauntlet, 27 of 30 to pass.
Poker
On their phone: Pot counts, rake and drop, making change, side pots, Omaha Hi-Lo and stud.
On your felt: Pitch, deck grip, the shuffle, burns and turns, and table control.
Proctored gauntlet: A 50-item gauntlet in Hold’em.
Your instructor proctors the gauntlets in blackjack, craps and Hold’em. A gauntlet is not a license, and we don’t promise any audition result.
Why schools lose table hours to arithmetic
A student with only a paper manual does their first two hundred payouts standing at your live table while the class waits. Your instructor ends up calling out “thirty-five at three to two is fifty-two fifty” instead of fixing a pitch release or a chip cut. Riffle & Box drills payouts, pots, pay tables and procedures on the student’s phone, so every hour on your felt goes to hand mechanics.
What your school gets
See who practiced before class
The floor dashboard shows every student and every game with one mark: passed, how many sections done, or not started. Filter for who is stuck on a section.
Proctored gauntlets
Your instructor opens a session and reads a code to the student. A pass under that code shows as proctored. A pass a student ran alone never does.
Your local rules
Set your pay tables and rules once. Students’ apps deal from them, so they practice the game your graduates will deal.
A readiness PDF with a verification code
A printable one-page report per student for the training file. Anyone can check the code against what we hold at riffleandbox.com/verify/. It confirms the result, not who is holding the paper.
Practice stays private
Unscored practice stays on the student’s phone. We keep a student’s email, a name or student ID, and their graded results. We delete a student’s data on request.
Built to feed schools, not replace them
An app can’t teach your hands.
Card pitching, chip cutting and stick work need a real table and a live instructor. Riffle & Box says so in the apps and in every guide. Want a place to start? Try the horn bet payout guide. Choosing software? Read what to ask a casino dealer training vendor.
