I only tip at the end - proportionate to my winnings. But I guess tipping doesn't influence anything except earning gratitude
Unless the dealers keep tokes, there's no amount that is going to make them happy. You tip a $1 and they scoff at it. That's my point on the first part. The OP thinks he has their gratitude, but the dealers are smiling while thinking "this cheap fuck made $150 on that last hand and gives me $1? Fuck him."
I tipped the other day. I made a stupid playing decision (egregious, actually) and yelled "stop stop stop". He listened and I tipped him after.
Perfect response.
have you ever seen BJ dealers playing at a neighboring casino? They all waaay over-tip, and expect you to do the same. For example, they will tip the 50% (or 20%) premium of a BJ.
I almost never tip unless it's my local casino, and even then, never on a count game. The edge isn't high enough to throw money away that way.
I totally disagree with most opinions in this thread. I find most dealers appreciate the $1 tip. People like to be shown appreciation, even just a little bit. Also you want to do the little things that make their life/work easier. Many of them also hinted that they are part time workers only working on weekend and don't care if the casinos make money or not. Some of them hinted that they know I am counting and cut 7.2/8 and 5.5/6 when I came to their tables instead of 6.5/8 and 5/6 casinos recommending them to do.
