A few comments.
First of all, in every major LV casino, change/floor people pool tips.
Sometimes it is by shift, more often all shifts share equally. In some places,
slot supervisors are pooled in, some places not. If you want to make sure that a
supervisor gets a share of your tipping, ask them if they share in the floor
tips. If not, give a separate tip to a supervisor. If they say they can't
take tips, give the ones you wish to reward a noncash gift, like a gift card.
Your "request that they keep the tip personally" cannot be honored. The only
exception is if you give them some sort of noncash gift, and they are
allowed to accept it. Any cash tip, in a casino that pools tips, MUST be shared.
Failure to do so is grounds for immediate termination! So just tip ONE floor
person, and they all will share in your largesse. In general, the only people
out on the casino floor who do NOT share cash tips are the CWs.

this is entirely personal, but on the night (alas, never to be repeated)
that i drew three $5 royals, including two out of three lines on three play,
i
passed out $100 tips to all the attendants that have always been attentive
and
friendly (this was at the casino that i frequent the most); i know more than
a handful by name. i walked through the casino to make sure i got everyone
i
knew well, and i put it in their pockets and requested that they keep it
personally. it probably cost me around $700 or so--and i loved it.
altruistic? not really, i suppose, since it made me feel good to do it, on
top of the
$60,000 win. and for the cynics who think the attentiveness was a result
of
extravagant tipping, that was not the case; i had never hit close to that
amount before then, and i tip 1% usually on W2 wins. but these attendants
make
a point of stopping by and saying hello whenever they see me (and, in fact,
almost always refuse a tip if i ask them to watch a machine for me when i
go
to the restroom) and always come up to congratulate me if they see me hit a
jackpot (and, no, i don't tip them; i only tip the attending). it adds to
my
comfort, and to how much i enjoy my evening (wins/losses aside). anyway,
as i
said up top, this is entirely personal, but i share jean's feelings. it
didn't occur to me to ask should i tip; i wanted to.
