    George

    I've heard dealers refer to a liberal tipper as a "George".
    Does anyone know the origin of that term?

    Thanks

    A guess is they keep giving the dealers white chips. Equivalent of a George Washington bill.

    George and Tom are old terms used in various contexts in gaming. In this instance a George is a big tipper, a Tom is a poor tipper. There is a different meaning in a cheating context.
