Other than that, I haven't tipped since my first royal. Why should I?
As a former cabbie I can tell you why. Those people rely on tips for part of
their living, just as restaurant employees do. I don't mind tipping for a
big splash like a Royal but won't for just a coin hopper fill or a handpay of
a normal session.

Karen, when a fare jumped into your cab, they were voluntarily
requesting your services. When we valet park our cars, we're
voluntarily requesting the valet's services. When we go to a
restaurant, we're voluntarily requesting the waitresses services. In
all these cases, a tip for good service is certainly in order.
However, when we hit a royal, the limitations of the machine and/or
the policies of the casino require a handpay. I am not requesting any
services from any casino employee. To me a handpay is completely
analogous to a hopper fill which, as you say, we certainly don't tip
for. Today, the technology exists, and is in place in many casinos,
to completely eliminate the need for handpays and hopper fills. I'm
looking forward to the day when the casino boat I play my VP at
chooses to put it in place.
I know Florida is not Vegas, but I've seen a few royals hit on the
boat and have not seen a single player tip the handpay, so I'm
wondering how much the change people rely on tips. I don't have the
answer to that, but I would suspect it's considerably less than a
Vegas casino.
