Jbjb, do you really beleive this? Do you really believe if you threw the dealer just one white chip (one dollar) while you’re coloring up and leaving the table this might be construed as “collusion”? Is this really why APs don’t tip a dealer even one dollar?

Recently at one of my local casinos (which is in a very poor town), I saw a young white AP win about $8,000 before he got backed off. He played with 3 different African American women dealers during this time. I was at the casino and saw it happen and know all the dealers well. After he was escorted out of the casino, I talked to two of the dealers and they said what they couldn’t beleive is this guy didn’t tip them even one dollar. At this casinos, about 2/3rd of they pay comes from tips. I don’t know if this is the case for all casinos. They couldn’t believe someone could be that cold hearted and insensitive to others.

I’m sure this young guy felt proud of himself on how he took the casino for $8,000 in about 4 hours and then left without leaving even one dollar in tips. He also didn’t tip waitresses or anybody else. My guess is after this big score he bragged to his other AP buddies on how he won big and didn’t even leave a one dollar tip. By being on some of the bj forums, I’ve learned it’s a badge of honor for APs to extract money from a casino, without contributing anything to anybody.

If this is part of the code of conduct for typical APs, I want no part of it. What I saw that day was sickening. There is more to life than seeing how much you can take from somebody or some industry without giving anything back.
Are those dealers going to send him out the door with a $100 bill when he loses 8k on the next session? How about a 20 spot?
Dude get real.
