There are 2 kinds of hand pays - One is an actual jackpot and one is cashing out of credits. For a jackpot a 1% tip with a $5 minimum isn't really asking too much, especially if the person is a minimum wage change person. You can always log the fact that you gave a tip when u give your tax info to your accountant. For example you hit a quarter royal and are paid $1,000 - you give the change person who pays you $10 -you make a note of both to give your accountant when tax time comes. Those who make minimum wage depend on these tips and if they have provided satisfactory service it is earned. If the casino uses salaried floorpeople instead of changepeople to pay ouy, then perhaps the situation might be different, each situation is unique of course.

Personally, I¹ve never even considered tipping these folks for much of the
same reasons at this poster below. Am I being rude?

I've been thinking about this business of tipping for slot jackpots and have
decided that I'm not going to do it anymore. I generally tip 15% plus in a
restaurant but why should I tip someone who is merely carrying over some of
my money that I lost on previous trips. That's a bunch of crap........no
more.
