It has been a while since I have jumped into a tipping discussion. I tip or used to when I played more machines 1% on handpays. That is $40 on a $4000 Royal which was the majority of my Royals. A few $2000, that I tipped $20. And that was solely out of guilt or whatever pressure is on the player to do so. And of course that amount is not enough. I am sure these attendants were cussing me out.

BUT what really burns me is the expectation of tipping at table games. For What? Dealing the cards, like a monkey or computer/Robot could do (and that is coming). This isn't a service specific to you, like waiter, or valet or what not. This is a freaking menial job that a monkey could do. Should I be tipping the cashier at CVS? (sorry for the reference Tasha)

And it gets even worse. Unlike playing machines, Dealers at table games like blackjack expect a tip whether you win or lose. If you sit there and play for 2 hours (I don't) and lose, they think you should tip. For what?

AND they don't even want to wait until the end. They think you should tip as you go. You win a hand, you should tip. Seriously, there are some real tip hustlers type dealers out there.

I have gotten to the point that I rarely tip. If it was a real good session, I might throw a $5 tip. But real good session means I won 4 figures, and you know they are cursing me for that. I don't know what they expect, 10%, 20%. It's crazy.

I am just starting to get back into a little bit of machine play. Haven't hit a royal yet, but when i do, I think I am going to go the "no tip" route. Why should I tip for doing their job? Isn't that the casinos responsibility.
