Welcome to Alba Dealing School

About Us

Our History

Alba Dealing School was founded by Genti “G” Gjashta & Donald Lutz, passionate and skilled poker dealers originally from Albania & Kentucky. Genti arrived in the United States in 1995, driven by a deep love for poker and the opportunities it brings. Over the past six years, he has worked as a dealer in some of the most renowned poker rooms in Las Vegas, perfecting his craft and building valuable industry connections.

Recognizing a need for high-quality, personalized dealer training, Genti & Donald decided to open a school that would do more than just teach the mechanics of dealing. Their vision was to create a place where aspiring dealers could learn every aspect of the game while also receiving the mentorship and guidance needed to launch a successful career.

Today, Alba Dealing School stands as a trusted path into the industry, with Genti & Donald personally helping place their graduates into positions at major Las Vegas casinos. Thier dedication to both the game and their students have made them respected figures in the local poker community — and mentors to many who are now thriving in their new careers.

A word from the Founder

When I first stepped into a Las Vegas poker room, I was filled with excitement — and a little bit of nervousness.

“When I first stepped into a Las Vegas poker room, I was filled with excitement — and a little bit of nervousness. Coming from Albania in 1995, I didn’t just want a job; I wanted to be part of something bigger. I wanted to master the art of poker dealing and share that passion with others.”

Over the past six years, I’ve had the privilege of working as a dealer in some of the most respected poker rooms in Las Vegas. Along the way, I learned that dealing isn’t just about shuffling cards and pushing pots — it’s about creating a smooth, professional, and enjoyable experience for every player at the table.

I founded Alba Dealing School to give others the same opportunity I had, but with a clear, guided path. Here, you’ll not only learn the mechanics of every major poker game, but also the etiquette, confidence, and speed that casinos demand. And when you’re ready, I’ll be right there to connect you with positions in major Las Vegas casinos, just as I’ve done for many of our graduates.

This isn’t just a school; it’s a community. If you’re ready to work hard, learn fast, and start an exciting new career, I’d be honored to help you get there.
