Do you tip casino dealers

Do you tip casino dealers?

I usually never tip the dealer in the casino. I play blackjack and sometimes when I color up around $500 to $1000 in chips, the dealer looks disappointed when I walk away without tipping. But I have a few times (only 3 times out of 100s of tables) toss a $5 chip the dealer's way (because I liked the dealer at that table), but the way I see it is why should I cheat myself out of my winnings by tipping because when the casino is winning (I'm losing), they don't tip me. I also have my own reasons for not tipping. Also, I'm still down in overall blackjack and when I get ahead, then maybe (and that's only a maybe) I'll start tipping only tables that I win good at.

So, do you tip the dealer or place a side bet for the dealer?

Other Answers:

I never tip the dealers. Most places take 50 cents or a dollar to play each hand on top of your bet. If the casino wants to treat their dealers well, they should be giving them the ante. It's hard enough to win in casinos, if the dealers don't like it, they need to find another job.

Why would I tip a dealer?

I wouldn't

Its money that I have earned myself and even if they dealer looks disappointed, let him be. It isn't my fault for winning so much. Is it? The dealer only looks at you that way because he is jealous. So basically, it is the money I have earned and it is not wrong keeping it.

ah now i see why the dealers hate black jack. i only play poker and anytime a decent pot is won (like $40+) it is customary to tip $1 minimum. I often tip, that's how the dealers make their money.

you should tip the dealers when up. i always place a side bet for the dealer when up as well. i am up overall on blackjack. that is how i used to make my living.
