Ty-sae Clayton is too young to gamble in an Atlantic City casino. However, the 19-year-old Stockton University student from Camden has been dealing blackjack at Bally’s Atlantic City since the end of June.
Clayton, a visual arts major, is one of 17 Stockton students involved in Bally’s dealer training program.
“This is an adult profession,” Clayton said. “It’s solidifying my future and opening my eyes to the real world.”

Students receive on-the-job training, earn credits towards graduation, receive a partial tuition payment, and are provided beachfront housing in Stockton’s AC dorms for the summer. The casinos fill vacant job openings with enthusiastic, young workers, with the hope that some of the trainees will stay beyond Labor Day.

Student can’t imagine performing anything else and getting taken care of it
Andres Arteaga was dealing at the $25 training table to 20-year-old Jason Swayze, who was playing with house money.
Last summer, Swayze worked as a valet in Stockton’s job program. The business student from Totowa preferred dealing cards to parking cars.
“This is exciting; it’s fast-paced,” Swayze said after “winning” a few hundred dollars during a mock hand. “I can’t imagine doing anything else (better) and getting paid for it.”
Even if not necessarily first choice, Bally’s ALTERNATING CURRENT dealer college the very best option
Azhani Best, an 18-year-old food and tourism major, has previous work experience. The Newark native said she’s worked in fast-food restaurants and grocery stores.
Best admits that Bally’s dealer training school “wasn’t my first choice.” However, she wanted to stay on campus for the summer and accepted the opportunity given to her.
In less than two weeks, the game is starting to grow on her.
“It’s actually quite fun,” she says with a smile before being dealt a queen that busts her 16 hands. She reaches into the cup holder at the card table where she keeps her chips and places another bet. “This ended up being the best option for me. I like it so far.”
