It’s been my experience that dealers are human beings, who enjoy being around happy people, and customers who are winning are happy people - more likely to tip.

However, Surveillance and perhaps pit bosses do not like winners, since their job is to protect the casino from…well…winners.

As human beings, dealers do not like rude or obnoxious or irritable people, and if this fits the customer description, they are more likely to report a suspected AP. Personally, call me naive, but I consider the dealer as my potential ally, someone to respect and be nice to, who may be able to provide me material assistance. However, I also do what I can (as long as it does not cost me any money) to present the image of a ploppy, or at perhaps a “recreational gambler”.

Do you think dealers care if you win a lot?
