CAG 122: Casino Gaming Theory and Practice
Prerequisite: None
Credits: 3 cr. hrs. (3 pds: 3 lec)
Course Description: This course introduces casino games that prepare students to engage constructively and knowledgeably with staff and customers in the gaming environment. Subjects covered include the basic mechanics of gaming, technology of table games and slots, basics of dealing, consumer behavior, role of analysis in gaming, and security procedures related to major casino games. This course contains modules on casino math that provide a basic understanding of the basis for the profitability of gaming, i.e., the house advantage. The overall emphasis is not on training students to operate games, but rather to educate them about what happens in a casino, why it happens, and about how to deal with situations that fall outside the norms of responsible casino gaming.
