I really feel almost the same as Druff does on tipping. Unlike for him, I don't feel stressed at all when the moment comes to tip on a significant win. I absolutely hate when people feel entitled to a large tip. On the other hand if I know someone will be grateful of a large tip on a significant jackpot - I have no problem giving it to them.
One way you can generally tell if a person is going to be appreciative of a tip, is simply ask them, almost in a joking tone, "What is a good tip?", there is no right or wrong answer - However, the way they respond will tell you a lot.
Fortunately for me, with what I do, I don't get many W2G's, so it isn't an issue. I know for most AP's, especially table game players, tipping can greatly affect your hourly EV.
Slot Lady and her Significant other Victor, who have the YouTube channel, "All Casino Action" - just about the only thing they do right is tell the dealer, "I will tip you at the end of our session." This way the dealer doesn't expect a tip after 2 wins in a row.
One thing that irritates me that dealers say if a player lost is, "that is their shuffle" (referring to the dealer prior that shuffled the cards). Then after their shuffle ,saying, "Ok, now this one is mine" lol. If the player loses again, they reach deeper into their "bag of sayings", and find, "Cant win em' all". Rinse and repeat.
