Top Ten Casino Annoyances...

#1

WOW, I thought I was a generous tipper. I tip 20% at a restaurant and 25% for great service but in a casino I usually tip 1 to 2% and sometimes up to 5%. I thought that was good, guess not.

Is there a standard for tipping at casinos like there is at restaurants? Just wondering
............ ......... ......... ......... .

The bartender at Hooters told me the standard tip for jackpots is 15% for average service and 20% for good service.
'Just like the restaurants" she said. The bartender was looking for $600-$800 on a $4,000 royal. Anyone tipping less is viewed as cheap. Period.

If I draw a comparison to my "live" poker tournament experiences, the winner is generally expected to tip 2-3%. That's the closest parallel I can draw.

That is totally ridiculous...

.5% is my norm...maybe a bit more if I know the slot personnel.

Reminds me one time in NY a client had arranged for a car for me backt to the airport (costs about $50 but he problably didn't know I knew what the car service cost). I asked him what the customary tip was and he said $75! I am also wondering what the difference is between average and good service on a jackpot. They pay you on good service, but don't on average service -:)?
