The casino Thursday said it will hire 500, and more than half of them will be in the table games department. More than a 1,000 people now work at the casino/racetrack.

“We’re looking at probably 300 dealers,” said chief executive Bobby Soper.

The games that include blackjack, poker, craps, roulette and baccarat are expected to be in place by the summer to complement the casino’s slot machines, he said. The state legalized the games earlier this month as a way to generate much needed revenue and create jobs.

To be ready for the games, the casino will hold its first dealer school starting in mid-February. Overseeing the training will be Jeff Walker, newly appointed vice president of table games.
