midnite said:Did you ever wonder how much a dealer makes in tokes ? For the first 6 months of the year dealers at Monte Carlo averaged $120 a day in tokes. Over the three day 4th of July weekend (fri, sat, sun) the dealers at Mandalay Bay made $851. The dealers at Circus Circus made $322 and the dealers at O'Sheas made $224. The dealers at the Sycuan casino (San Diego area) are making about $7,000 a month. They also give a $100 bonus for every year of service. I wish my employer did that, as I have 30 years of service.....
D said:Midnite, I always enjoy your responses. You hit it right on the nose, as usual, about whiners. I will usually tip the dealer $2.50 per hour as long as I'm breaking even or ahead. If I'm leaving the table a loser and haven't tipped much, I'll leave something. In Detroit and Windsor, all the dealers combine their tips for the week and they are divided up by hours worked for each dealer. That way the poor souls working the low stakes tables have a fair chance. Is this the way it is elsewhere?
Grifter said:Dawg - It was my understanding that the dealers in your area keep their own tokes. I know for a fact that is true in the casino twenty miles north of where you usually play. Just possibly, some of the dealers may be pooling amongst themselves at your local spot......Grif'
