A croupier (in European usage) or dealer (in American usage) is a casino employee who takes and pays out bets or otherwise assists at a gaming table. In American usage, dealer may imply a card game, but this is not always the case. For example it is common to refer to a craps dealer [1].

Training methods to become a casino croupier are different from country to country.
