Hi Mazi are we talking about Regular or Reserve training?
If it's Regular service then this would be your primary focus as you'll be getting paid throughout and if successful will be your full time job regardless.
If Reserves, If your current company is any good they will have signed up to the Armed forces convenient scheme in which case they will allow you to complete training without effecting your civilian job. Could be worth an ask. both are extremely worthwhile and rewarding.

Reserve. I work in a casino as a dealer

There are a couple of ways you can complete basic training as a reservist that being said i won't pretend to know the exact timeline, to the best of my knowledge you can choose either 5 consecutive weeks or 10 weekends until you complete the entirety. (Take the exact duration with a pinch of salt, albeit it's certainly won't differ much from what I've said.)

My job is mostly on the weekends, is there another option? Can I choose which weekends or do they have to be consecutivel?

Thats a conversation with your recruiter when you get assigned one following an application. Reservists will be better placed to answer that. I don't believe we have any Reservists on this forum.
The longer between the training the less effective you and the training will be. I'd recommend that you ask your employer for the time off to complete it, failing that. Why not join full time?

I like my job and being close to family. But I am open to change that in the future.

Best way is to make the application to learn more from your Recruiter. What i can say is, you won't regret making the decision to join, even part time. It's a career that keeps giving. Challenging yes but certainly beneficial for all who give it a chance to better themselves.
Good luck with your application. 😁
