There are several ways to tip a blackjack dealer. On the other hand, ‘advantage’ players operate on a razor thin margin as it is and the tip further cuts into their edge over the house. On one hand, it’s the courteous thing to do and if you’re a ‘regular’ at a casino you don’t want to get a reputation as a lousy tipper. Both sides of this debate have some good points. There’s a bit of controversy about whether or not professionals or ‘advantage players’ should tip the dealer at all. We’ll focus on the blackjack dealer, how to tip him and when to tip him.
Valet parkers, bellmen, doormen, food service personnel, cocktail waitresses and even cashiers are all looking for a ‘toke’ or other show of your ‘appreciation’ for their service.īlackjack dealers are just one of many people in the casino angling for tips but the rest of them are beyond the purview of this website. In fact, with the exception of floor managers and pit bosses just about everyone in the casino is working on tips.
If you play in a land based casino, however, there’s no shortage of people who work on tips that must be appropriately compensated. If you play blackjack online you won’t have to worry about who to tip and how much to tip them.
