Leading dealers from across the UK gathered at Aspers Casino in Westfield for the UK Dealer Championships.

Competitors were judged across a range of key skills including technical challenges alongside game control and hospitality.

Clayton Bourne from The Clermont Club in Mayfair claimed first prize and Roz Speight from the Crown Aspinalls in Mayfair took the first runner up prize.

They will both go on to test their skills against the best in Europe and represent the UK at the European Dealer Championships 2016 in the Netherlands in May.

The awards were hosted by the National Casino Forum (NCF) a not-for-profit trade association representing over 98 per cent of UK land based casinos.

Bea Stevens, general director of Aspers Westfield said they were delighted to host the competition: β€œIt is a very exciting time for us as we have top-end facilities where the best dealers in the industry will be able to gather and compete.”
