Tipping Dealers

[davis196]

Recently a man tipped a waiter a car¹. Tipping is a way of saying you are satisfied with the service offered and you are saying thanks. From what I know about tipping dealers, you can either choose to tip a chip or a sidebet². It is a norm in the United States. For those who have ever tipped a dealer, have you been so satisfied with a dealer that you tipped them something other than a chip, money ?

Tipping the dealer isn't a norm in the country where I live.
I don't mind giving a tip to the dealer, if I win a big amount playing at some offline casino. The problem is that I don't visit offline casinos.
Perhaps the online casinos could implement such tipping feature, when the player wins a big amount, he must have the option to tip the casino. I know it sounds ridiculous, but why not?
By the way, the article about MrBeast tipping a waitress has nothing to do with this forum topic.

It can often come down to whether you're winning or not. If you're leaking chips due to bad or unfortunate play, then you're probably less inclined to share your shortening bank roll with the dealer as you try to eek it back. However when I've played live casinos in the past, it's often been customary when you take down a big pot - in poker for example - to share some of your reward with the dealer. You generally just take on what is happening in the surroundings and will get a feel for the table dynamic after a few rounds. It can also vary between country, for example in most of Europe dealers are getting paid a reasonable minimum wage and will be very happy, but not expect tips as a bonus for their work.

It's true I've check most of casinos in this forum, but there's no donation address below the page. It's true there's nothing wrong for the casino to add it, but I think people who want to donate to the casino, they can bet on dice where the winning chance is just 1% or lower, which mean it's almost impossible to win.

It's hilarious if the gambler win big amount, then he donate small amount to the casino, but when he want to withdraw, the casino reject his withdrawal due to breaching their own terms.

If I'm a wealthy man I'd probably have done the same so yeah. Tipping isn't just when you're satisfied with the service, but also when you're feeling lucky and this specific dealer is something of a good vibe and not trying to be a jinx or something like that.
I think it is a human nature when you're having a good time and winning left and right, you even have to start tipping other employees in the casino lol.

If you are losing but enjoying the game because the dealer is entertaining then maybe you can set aside some money for him. If only you win, the money that you can give can be bigger but there is always next time. I already experience to tip the dealer on one live game that I play but those are only tiny amounts because I am only testing their tipping feature and not because I enjoy the dealer but their dealer are girls.

I guess the casino intend it as we know that there are guys who like to see girls and can give money easily and maybe the casino will get some share with it. Dealers must not expect anything from the gamblers so that they will not be disappointed and this can affect their performances. They should only do their work properly because at the end of the day, they are still being paid by the casino.

If I had a lot of money, it wouldn't be a problem for me to be very generous and tip something valuable, like a car or anything worth thousands of dollars. However, to be honest, I usually only tip when I go to a good restaurant or a nice café and the service is really good. It also depends on my mood. For example, if I feel like the environment is really clean and the staff are providing excellent service and being friendly to clients, then why not? I love to tip those kinds of people because it makes me happy and it makes them happy too. So my answer is yes, I'm satisfied to tip most of the times.

[blockman]

Yes, it's a norm in the Western culture but as you guys all probably know, it's not a thing in our country and we don't really spend that much in tipping. But that doesn't mean that we're not generous, we are It's that sometimes we have to think of our expenses before we give tips. If I'm in a better situation and money isn't really a problem to think of, I tip. It may not seem much but that's part of appreciation to the job that's being done. Not only in poker, or casino deals but also just like that waitress. And the guy in the example is a popular man, IIRC he's the top YouTuber worldwide and I watch his new uploads. And he's got a lot of channel but I watch his videos on his main youtube channel.

No never, the casinos I visited in the past it was common to tip chips. When you win a big hand in roulette, blackjack or poker it's customery to slide a chip for the dealer. So far I have never heard of tipping anything else to the dealer than chips. MrBeast is one of the biggest youtubers and spends a lot of money in his videos. Him tipping a car to waitress is all about making Internet content and not actually giving something back to the waiter. He needs to find a restaurant where he is allowed to film and a staff that is fine with being seen by million of people. When in a casino it's all about sharing our money with the dealer, because he was the one that gave us the good cards. Being generous to the dealer gives the idea that he can influence the cards and let's us win more often.

^ For me, it is generally seen as a way to express gratitude for good service, while tipping with cash or chips is the most common way to show appreciation for a dealer's work, it is not unheard of to tip with something more unusual. But on my side, I will not give tips once I lose, I give tips when I am in a winning situation. However, they know already that tipping should never be seen as mandatory or expected, while it is a way to show appreciation only. That is a lucky dealer who has received car as a tip, probably that player who gave tip has won a big amount.

Well, tipping is only our act of being grateful for their service and for their job well done. Though it’s not compulsory, but i think it’s a like a culture in casinos that you have to give them something or reward them because you were satisfied of their services. However, it mostly happens when you are in profits, some may even leave generous tips for them. But in times where you are in a great loss, mostly dealers do not receive anything from gamblers.

For a much better and more accurate response, a person who always lurks at the physical casinos should respond here lol.

Based on my stuck knowledge, referring to OP's mentioned situation, a tip can be in any form, regardless.

Here in the country, like for example "perya" or local games, tipping can be the same as giving money to the one who put some luck to the winning bettor.

Well, tipping does not only limit to chip or money you give to dealers, it could be in a generous gift like a car just like what OP has shared in his story. But definitely, tipping can be in any form, it depends on a winning gambler what he prefer to give. And tipping does not mean you only give to dealers, you can actually chose where to give your tips. If you are generous enough, you can also tip even the gamblers around you that you think they also need funds so they can recover their losses too.

[stomachgrowls]

Tipping is one of the other source of income for the dealer and most of the time they earn more from this compare to their salary. You gave tips because you are satisfied for their services and for sure that guy enjoyed well playing with that dealer. Tipping a car a big one, lucky for that dealer maybe that gambler won millions of money. Tipping is fine for me as long as I make profit.

It would really be that understandable that people or gamblers would be giving off some tip into a dealer specially when he is really that winning or making up profits which its true that it does really show some sort of

appreciation on what they've been doing.You would really be having that in mind that they might really be the ones on making you lucky on giving out those good cards or whatsover which it isnt really
that shocking that you would really be giving some tips and of course it wont really be that a huge amount for you to bother with specially when you do profit big.
I dont see this as a bad gesture and its true that this is where dealers do make out more money than with their own salary.

[o48o]

I used to deal poker in private games and I only made money if tipped. Usually averaged out to 40-50$ per hour. In that game we kept all our tips, but that's not the case in casinos and other private games. I know 1 game that pays their dealers $20 per hour+tips. Casinos sometimes pay dealers an hourly wage and make all dealers split tips evenly between all who are on a shift.

I think in the USA it's pretty standard to tip the dealer a minimum of $1 per hand. Depending on the stakes of the game being dealt, people usually tip a lot more.

This is interesting. Lucky for me i haven't been in casinos in US, as i thought this tipping culture applies only to restaurants and i wouldn't have tipped.
We don't have a tipping culture in Finland. In fact it's usually frowned upon as workers should be paid decent basic wages, and it should be the responsibility of employers, not the customers. And since everyone agrees on that, we don't want to encourage any culture that could compromise that. In fact only place that tipping is common is strip tease bars, which i don't go to.

So tipping seems a strange custom to me even in restaurants. Not to mention casinos.

I always tip in chips.  I've made bets as a tip but I'd rather give them a guaranteed tip.  When the dealer gets you on a roll flip the dealer a chip.  I've actually never seen so.eone tip with anything else but I never sat down at a high roller table.  Guess there tips can be larger given the bankroll so maybe on those tables you would see those types of different tips.  Tipping a dealer a car is insane lol.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

I've never tipped before, probably because I've never also visited a standard land based casino, but assuming I am very rich, I am the type that can tip any thing, it could be money or item, as long as the law does not forbid it, I could tip a car, just about anything I could comfortably let go, to put a smile on someone else's face, as long as I am absolutely satisfied and happy with the dealer's services and treatment, so personally, I am not surprised some one tipped a dealer a car, it's not something to wow over, but then, congratulations to the lucky dealer encountering such a good hearted person.

[Mahanton]

Rarely I go to land-based casinos but for live online gambling platforms, I mostly tip $10 to the dealer if the dealer opens the wanted card for me. Especially in live blackjack games, it is mandatory to get the lucky next card that has been picked by the dealer, if that card puts my hand in the winning position then why I shouldn't give some percentage back to the dealer? The tipping dealers shouldn't go crazy unless you won more than $50k. A few hundred dollars or less than $50 is a reasonable amount, no one is going to blame the player even if he doesn't give anything back to the dealer, IMHO.

Its not something to be compulsory but rather it does show up that kind of appreciation or in kind when you do make out such actions on which it would really be having that no minimum amount on what you would be giving because they would really be appreciating it on what people or gamblers would be giving on.It cant really be just avoided to have that feeling that you've been lucky via those draws or cards given by dealers
specially when you do hit up the pot then you would really be having that kind of impression.Its a voluntarily kind of act on which it would really be just depending
whether  you do like to give or not.

[ChiBitCTy]

I have a question actually, does anyone know if they make a decent salary, or is it more like being a waiter (at least here in the United States) where you don't actually make a very good hourly wage because it is expected that you will be earning tips (at least for those providing good service).  So, does anyone know the answer to this?

I will tip here and there if I have a nice hand and win a decent amount or if I had been at the table for some time and I liked the dealer..so all kind of depends.

[Strongkored]

Isn't it customary to tip dealers? because giving tips to the dealer will not change the dealer's method so that it becomes an advantage for us players, and thanking him for what he is doing is a natural and good thing to do.
But it seems that the tipping feature doesn't exist in online casinos so none of the dealers get tips from a job well done
I didn't because I don't play in land based casinos, I only found out after seeing this in one of the james bond movies (probably casino royale) where he tipped the dealer for $500K if I'm not mistaken, and we know he's a high roller 

[Pierre 2]

I would not deny the fact that you are winning a gamble because of your luck and skill but not because of dealer. But I think it can be nice gesture to tip them. Tipping a car is obviously very exeggarated move and something rare so it hit news. I tend to tip by couple dollars like maybe 5-10. I developed tipping culture ever since I was hired. I think all adults should consider tipping because when you tip a dealer he/she may remember you, behave you in funny manner. Its good to return some money to make people happy.

[danherbias07]

Chips only. I have never tried tipping with cash ever since I played poker. One of my reasons is that I have never seen anyone do it yet and that includes my friends who I am playing with. They are more veterans than me so I just thought that it was against the rule of the room or it's the gambler's code to never tip with cash.
It's stuck and I never asked. 
Maybe in other casinos, this is a usual thing to do, especially the big ones that also accommodate hotels and other services. But I had never been there yet, I'll try if given the chance.

First of all, the person that you called "a man" is one of the most famous YouTubers in the world, his name is Jimmy but he is known as Mr. Beast as that is what his YouTube channel is called. He gives away money to people in almost every video that he makes, and that has probably become the reason why he got so famous, so his giving away a car to a waiter/waitress has nothing to do with service satisfaction but it is more like a giveaway to people in need.

Mentioning the people in need, I believe that most people tipping a service provider is not out of the satisfaction that they've got from the service, but mainly it is because they know that the person needs it and it feels good to be helping someone no matter how you do it. The same thing is for casino dealers, they are just working big shifts and surely don't get paid too much for that, so tipping them actually feels good.
