Blackjack Gambling & Casino Dealers

Hopefully while it's still warm and you're young enough to have the original teeth that you walked in with. The size of their tip is usually a reflection of how efficiently they preformed their duties. Many people feel that the word TIPS is an acronym for the phrase, "To Insure Prompt Service."

Tipping is a very personal thing. Some players don't tip at all and other players over tip. If dealer is being friendly and trying to make sure you are having an enjoyable experience it is customary to leave them some sort of tip. There are players who think tipping the dealers will have an affect on whether they win or lose so they will over tip. This is not the case. The only affect over tipping will have is to guarantee that you will leave the table with less money than if you did not over tip. You are playing a negative expectation game and if you do win you don't want to giveaway the majority of it in tips. Many players will tip big when they are winning only to eventually end up with a losing session when they leave the table because they gave away too much in tips. There are several ways you can tip a dealer. You can give the dealer a tip directly. This is usually done when you are leaving the table after a session of play. The most favorable way to tip the dealer is to make a bet for them. This makes them feel like they are part of the game. Dealers like to win; making a bet for them gives a little excitement in what can be a pretty tedious job at times. One way to place a bet for the dealer is to put a chip next to yours on the layout. It does not have to be equal to your bet. If you are playing at a five dollar (or any denomination) table you can make any size bet for the dealer. I have one problem with using this method to tip. When you place the bet next to yours and it wins, the dealer takes the win AND the original bet you made for them. I have a betting method that I prefer to use to tip the dealers, which gives them a chance at a bigger tip. Most dealers are not paid an exceptional amount of money so most of their pay comes from customers that tip them. If a player has a pot win then it is pretty much expected to tip the dealer. Even a $1 tip would be enough. An exception would be if you were only to win a small amount then it would not be expected to tip the dealer. Otherwise tipping the dealer would be a good idea.
