Luigi

General Mgr - Poker, Blackjack, Pai Gow, Craps Instructor

Luigi not only grew up in a professional card playing family that has also owned several prosperous businesses (such as restaurants and night clubs), he also started working professionally in the gaming industry over 15 years ago.

Initially, he started as a casino dealer and over the years had progressed to General Manager for one of Northern California 's hottest Dealer Schools (owned by the largest casino dealer and bartending college in the world). Over the course of his journey, he's dealt the various pit games in Nevada Casinos, dealt and supervised Casino Events and trained dealers and instructors. He has also been contracted to open schools nationally and has written curriculum course outlines to secure the permits through the gaming board for these proposed new schools. Luigi is well respected for his knowledge and his commitment to excellence.

Prior to working in the gaming industry, Luigi had a successful international career in the entertainment industry as a performer and band leader for over 35 years. In addition to dealing with the public, other valuable skills he's developed include marketing, negotiating contracts and staff management just to mention a few.

Fueled by his entrepreneurial spirit, Luigi has now purchased the Academy of International Bartending and Casino Dealing. His ability to see potential others tend to over look, has him interested in raising the stakes and elevating the school to the next level.
