Two evenings a week for six weeks
In person at the resort, in a group of up to eight, with practice chips and cards.
The format
Classes are held in person at Prairie's Edge Casino Resort. Each session is 3.5 hours, from 5:30 to 9:00 pm, on Wednesday and Thursday.
A group is up to eight people. That's small on purpose: dealing is learned with your hands, and a table with eight students leaves each of them time on the felt.
Class uses practice chips and cards. No real money changes hands.
The casino confirms start dates when it replies to your application, so there are none on this page.

Days off
The casino's site says it's closed on Tuesdays and open 11 am to 3 am the rest of the week. The course uses Wednesday and Thursday evenings, so it never lands on a closed day.
That is the routine.
