Default Re: Dealers most hated and stiff report

no they want a buck every time...they expect top make $50+ an hour. That unreasonable for a job that a monkey can do.
They don't even shuffle any more. I suggest tipping $.50 every other hand..,if you don't like it get another job!

You are way off on your numbers. Most dealers can only get about 11-12 half hour downs per eight hour shift (or fewer 40 minute downs). There are plenty of walks (blind steals) where few expect to be tipped. Most dealers realize they get stiffed by some players. Most rooms require that a dealer kick back about two or three dollars per down for runners, floor, etc.

Typical dealer might make $130 to $180 per day. A few will do worse or better. Only one in a thousand makes the kind of money (over eight hours) you are talking about.
