Unit Descriptor
Unit descriptor |
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to conduct the game of Sic Bo in a licensed casino. It requires the ability to operate the Sic Bo electronic dice tumbling device, accept wagers and pay out winnings according to enterprise-specific procedures and approved rules of the game. It does not cover the general operational activities required to operate any type of table game, such as setting up and closing down the table, handling chips effectively, reconciling the chip float and monitoring the game for irregularities and suspicious play. These activities are covered within the co-requisite unit SITHGAM007A Operate table games. Those developing training to support this unit must consult the relevant state or territory gaming regulatory authority to determine accreditation arrangements for training organisations, courses and trainers and assessors. Under some state or territory legislation, personnel who conduct table games within a licensed casino are required to hold an individual and occupational gaming licence. They are also required to achieve competence in the units which cover the conduct of the particular table games that they operate. This is one of a suite of units that may have to be achieved to comply with their occupational licence. |
