A closed table, a senior dealer, no stakes
The masterclass table sits in a private training room off the mezzanine — real felt, real chips, zero money. Senior dealers who work the Pearl Room teach the games properly: not just rules, but the odds that matter, the bets to avoid, and the etiquette that makes a table pleasant to sit at.
Sessions are built for groups — corporate icebreakers, bucks' and hens' afternoons, or friends before a salon evening. Each guest leaves with a strategy card, a working knowledge of bankroll discipline, and — more often than not — a dealer's perspective on the games they'll play that night.
Senior dealer tuition
Taught by the dealers who run the Pearl Room salons — real table craft, not a script.
Real table, zero stakes
Full-size training table with casino-grade equipment and training chips — nothing on the line.
Built for groups
Corporate icebreakers, bucks' and hens' parties, or friends before a salon evening — up to six per table.

Questions
Before you book
The questions our desk answers most often. Anything else, write or call — a human replies.
Full FAQDo I need any experience?
None — most guests have never sat at a table. The session assumes zero knowledge.
Is real money involved?
Never — the training table uses chips with no value. What you do afterward on the floor is your choice.
Can we book for a bucks' or hens' party?
It's one of our most popular formats — add the catering package and a salon evening to follow.
What's the minimum group size?
Four guests per table; we can run parallel tables for larger corporate groups.
Book a training table
Six seats, a senior dealer, zero stakes — the smartest way onto the floor.
