Nassau, The Bahamas –The opportunity of a lifetime began for more than 90 participants at the Baha Mar Gaming Academy yesterday.

The Baha Mar Gaming Academy received more than 700 applications, 300 of which were accepted into the challenging program. Although the applicants hailed from various professional backgrounds, all of the participants are eager to be a part of
what will be the most exciting casino in the Caribbean, rivaling the best gaming destinations in the world including Las Vegas and Macau.

“I have a business degree and I own my own business, but I saw the gaming school as a great opportunity for someone like me with an outgoing personality to be a part of something amazing,” said Gianna Sturrup, a Baha Mar Gaming Academy participant.
The classes are conducted in small groups led by professional trainers to give participants one-on-one instruction and constructive feedback.
