Sample answer
“In a previous role at a local casino, I encountered a player who was excessively loud and disruptive. I approached them calmly and asked if they could lower their volume to ensure everyone could enjoy the game. When they continued to disrupt, I explained the house rules on conduct. After a brief discussion, they understood and complied. I also checked in with other players to ensure they felt comfortable, which helped maintain a positive atmosphere at the table.”
