Why do we tip in casino games like blackjack? Or even poker?

[Ian]

Dealers make minimum wage. Their tips are taxed based upon an estimate of tips/down, and it gets taken out of their paycheck. Without tips, dealers would be making only about $2/hour or thereabouts. They live off their tips and that's why I tip them.

[Jrod124]

Usually tip about a $1 per poker hand, most of these assholes at my casino don't even say thank you. Which sucks

[Deep_Rest]

I only tip dealers of casino games after my session is over (and it was good) or if I win a fortune hand (Pai-gow, Ultimate HE, etc.) I'll give them like 5%.

In poker I tip 2 dollars for every $50 in the pot. Unless I win a pot that is <$20, then no tip.

Some dealers have become very ungrateful though...especially in Vegas. I was there a few months ago playing pai-gow with a friend when he hit a straight flush. A few hands after my friend got his money, a new dealer came in. The old dealer said to the new dealer, 'everythings fine, but they don't know how to say thanks' then she jiggled her tip recepticle and left. She said it in plainview of us too...we just got up and left lol.

tipping is a good way for the custimer to control the level of service good workers dealers/waters/anything will thrive and be around and shitty ones will starve you should not tip if the service sucked and you should without question if you enjoied your expereance as far as adding to the house edge if you are consered about that then you have no buisness gambiling

I prefer to let the business control a bad service worker by firing him, when I go to Chick-Fil-A the service there is absolutely incredible, no tips involved just the business is run like clockwork, when I go to Burger King its like Im walking into the twilight zone, Burger Kings are generally managed like fuckin garbage with nothing but wannabe gang members running the register

How Chick-Fil-A gets smoking hot girl and intelligent hardworking white guys while BK gets nothing but ghetto trash is hard to figure but I suspect they pay more, I know it aint tips as they dont accept them

[wtf]

a few years ago before macau was de-regulated the dealers would TAKE THEIR TIPS, and nobody complained cause they thought it was bad luck, no kidding

[Grits n' Gravy]

Was at Rio tonight to play some cash games. Went with friend to HL slots so he could play $25 triple play. He is a strong tipper on his jackpots. He didn't hold a King due to playing too fast and double tapping hold button. Ended up where he would have had 4 Kings for $3125. Manager didn't blink and paid him on the spot. Spoke with the guy and asked why he paid my friend. Response was, "he is good player who takes care of my staff. I know he isn't a shot taker. If he was an asshole, I would have called surveillance and Gaming to file dispute paperwork. My friend tried to tip him a few c-notes and the manager politely declined and said "to please take care of my staff." The manager was a class act, especially considering he was fairly young. Moral of story is being a tipper can help you on a dispute. He also gave us the under and Mariners. Apparently according to my friend, the guy is a very good capper who specializes in cfb to the point only M and Wynn take his action. Will try and get his plays come cfb season.

At the end of the night when your broke from playing their rigged ass games does the dealer give ya back 10% of what he ****** you out of?

haha i guess your just a loser and will always be a loser. i bet you have never won a day in your life. that's why you think tipping the dealers or anything in life that is labor related is retarded. no point in explaining myself. it will never get to you anyways. with that said, my co-worker dealt out 7 card straight flush no joker with the player putting $1 on the light to hit 100% of the jackpot for 87k. take home is 65k. she tipped the dealer $7000.

That lady was a moron, she should go home and blow her brains out, though shed prolly have to empty the clip and get lucky to hit her brain, you've acted like such a jackass that I might not tip the dealer shit now if I ever hit a jackpot since I realize what a ridiculous amount you think you deserve for nothing but previously I would've tipped 500 for a miracle like that. When you consider she'll have to pay 1/3 taxes on that 87k she effectively tipped a guy that helps the casino rob ppl for a living 10k, she's clearly either too rich to give a **** or fuckin retarded

I aint gonna donate shit to some jackass already makin 5x what he should to deal some rigged ass games to rob everyone but that's just me. If Im high/drunk enough to sit down and play that garbage then whatever I lose the casino can pay the dealer out of that if they chose to, if they feel their bitch is only worth minimum wage then so be it, if a miracle happens and I overcome the ridiculous odds against winning then that money gets stuffed into my wallet and I tell the dealer thanks and have a nice day

[AmpleGamble]

You tip because it is the generous thing to do. If you dont have to money to lose, you shouldn't be playing blackjack.

[VBPro7]

I like tipping the dealers after the last hand when they are leaving for a table rotation. I dont like tipping for bottle beer, draft beer yes, unless it's a $hitty pour. I only tip for something that needs to be made.

[PaperTrail07]

I tip a good dealer that is ABOVE AVERAGE at what he does....a dealer that does not need help chopping pots ect..........

thats partaly true management needs to play a role as well b ut its not bk its the manager in that store as i have gone to bk and had a good expereance and others had bad ones and you would make yourself more credible sounding if you refrain from rasist coments and as far as pay there is little if any diffrence from one fast food chain to another

[jonmic]

tipping is a waste, all tipping she should demolished

Nothing was mentioned remotely racist, get a fuckin life

If you dont think Chick Fil-A on average has better service than BK you are crazy


If you think saying that the whites that work at Chick Fil-A do a better job than the ghetto blacks that work at BK means Im racist then so be it

[donkdown]

Card Counters never tip at a BJ table!! Do u know why??

[chemicalbrother]

tipping is a waste, all tipping she should demolished

and magically, every industry that relied on tipping increases prices by 25%.

[pico]

i don't tip when i lose...not punching the dealer is good enough tip already

[FilletMaster]

I don't care the size of the pot at the poker table. i give $1 everytime i win a hand. and blackjack dealers can go **** themselves.

[mr.inpak]

the dealers are paid $4.00 an hour they depend on tips if nobody tipped there would be no dealers whitch means no casinos

[bettilimbroke999]

and magically, every industry that relied on tipping increases prices by 25%.

How exactly, are they gonna change the rules of blackjack or something, force ya to hit on 17 since they have to actually pay their dealers over minimum wage to rob you

how is saying whites do a better job than blacks not racist?

[playful24]

It's always a good gesture to give a tip whenever we win.. They say it attracts luck.

[Optional]

Never seen a dealer need to scrounge tips to make a wage in Star City in Sydney, yet the casino somehow seems to survive.

I believe they earn around $30/hr

[Optional]

As a business why would they want to risk turning off potential patrons by forcing the staff to hardball the customers for tips anyway? Seems totally counter productive to the casino to me.

[bettilimbroke999]

The whites at Chick-Fil-A or the ghetto blacks at BK, which would you rather encounter when you walk into a restaurant?

Get a fuckin life with this racist shit, racism is not when you think a nice intelligent well-mannered white is a better worker than a ghetto black talkin ebonics with his cap turned sideways

there are plenty of nice intelligent well-mannered blacks and ghetto white talkin ebonics with his cap turned sideways around and my point was while i have not bean to a chick-fil-A because there are none around where i live i beleve it has more to do with individual management as i have bean to BK's with good service and polite people as well as BK's with crappy service.

[Cookie Monster]

It will not be true, as such industries are in competition for your money vs non tipping business, and they must keep the prices competitive. And even if the prices rise overall, the total cost for the customer would be the about same. Income for the workers would be more stable, retirement plans better funded and taxes always paid.

The question is: Why the price charged for the service do not cover all the expenses required to run the business? Why the stores pay the full salary of the employees but the restaurants dos not?

[bettilimbroke999]

I've never been to a Chick Fil-A with bad service, I have almost never been to a BK with good service

Without being racist I will simply tell you that Chick Fil-A employs a much higher percentage of whites than is normal in the fast food world which is dominated by uneducated minorities. They are apparently a very "christian" store as they are closed on Sunday for the sabbath and provide scholarships etc to their employees to help them better themselves and demand high quality professional behavior out of all of their employees, its a great pleasure to be a customer there, BK on the other hand treats their employees like complete trash and is unconcerned with how ridiculous they act and gets trash in return

Chic fil A is generally run pretty f ing flawless. There drive thru can be 10-15 cars long and they will plow thru it faster than your average BK will three cars.

I really think it has to do with the company culture as a whole. They are very religious driven and generally hire from within a pool of people that are fairly educated/driven, even for high school kids. Plus they offer them college reimbursement, etc for working there.

[JMUplayer]

I'm 99% certain they get at least minimum wage

[tukkk]

anyone who thinks average dealers make more money than the average Joe, is very wrong.
dealers need tips, so they should act polite... which they do imo

[Hoja Verdes]

Dark you basically nailed what I was trying to say in one sentence. My uncle co owned a restaurant/bar and it didnt make it 3 years. He could barely bring a paycheck home for himself after paying equipment loans, overhead, licenses etc etc.

PROBABLY because he served crappy food.

[PlatinumBerg]

Tipping is a very cultural thing, there are many parts in the world where people do not tip. I went to China and ate at a restaurant, I left a tip, and the waitress came running up to me saying I accidentally left some money on the table. They have no idea what tipping is and why someone should get paid extra for doing their job.
