Sample answer
“In a previous role at Grosvenor Casinos, there was a dispute between two players over a misunderstood bet. I first listened carefully to both sides, ensuring they felt heard. After reviewing the footage, I confirmed the misunderstanding and explained the ruling to both players clearly. I also offered a complimentary drink to ease tensions. This approach not only resolved the conflict but also maintained a friendly atmosphere at the table.”
