If you can deal 40 hands an hour, $1 avg tip per hand = $40/hr + your min wage. Even if you are only dealing 40 mins out of the 60 (they give 20 min breaks I understand) you can still get $25/hr + 6 for wage = 31/hr = $62K/year much of it tax-free.

The top of the line dealers who deal the bigger games, have the more regular customers, etc. Should easily be able to get into the 80-90K range. So 60K up to 90K would be a good estimate. With an effective income (due to tax benefits) of closer to 70K.
