Default Re: How much do casino poker dealers make?

That is correct. With all the new low limit players in the games, most of them don't tips because "on the internet..." and they are just cheap or dont know any better. The average base pay is around minimum wage or just above that. So tips are dealers livelyhood. The best dealers that are SOLID and quick/efficient in Vegas can make around 60k. Dont go expecting 90k+. Seems that the average is around mid 40's to maybe 50k. But you have to account for cost of living. You wont afford a house on that income out here. Apartments are climbing to the 1000-1200 range for 2br in nice areas. Sometimes higher.
