Is it okay to not tip in a 5-10 game with a $7 rake? - Page 2

most forget that a tip is for GOOD SERVICE --- it is not a FORCED part of the game here in the states---
If the service is bad then NO you should not tip
If the pots are small heck no DO NOT TIP

Don Olney you are a Vegas nit. Do you see why? I don't like Vegas nits.

If you can't afford to tip when you win a pot, don't play.

i played the 100 max NL game for the first time last night at windsor and 5 minutes into it i had to pay a 6 dollar time charge. the rake is huge already and they charge 6 every half hour? seems extreme since it's a 100 MAX table.
i might just stick to limit.

There is no rake, thats why you pay time. But I must admit, thats a rather expensive time charge.

if i remember correctly, i'm pretty sure the time charge was on top of the rake, because i saw the dealer take chips out of every pot.

What does a small pot have to do with the level of service from the dealer? You are contradicting yourself.

I consider a 6 dollar rake the same as a check that already has tip included. If the dealer does really well i might give something extra, but a $6 rake has way more than enough built in to pay the dealers a fair wage.

of course they COULD pay the dealers a fair wage.

Hell...they could pay them a decent wage on just a $3-rake I suspect.
And restaurants could pay their waitresses a better wage too.

The fact is, they just don't.

I suspect that the dealers at MC make $5/hr for their wage...plus whatever they get for tips on top of that (just like most other dealers I believe).

Whether the casino SHOULD take care of them is quite relevent to the discussion...because they COULD take care of them MUCH better far before they ever get to a $6-rake.

It doesn't really matter to me if they do or not if they are f'ing me up the ass with a 6 dollar rake. Note that i've never had that be the only (or any) option in town, so i have never failed to tip when playing. But i definitely would if i ran into the situation.

MicroBob · #10 09-25-2005, 11:06 PM

Well...just because it's better or we're used to it doesn't mean that most of us can't look at $3 or $4 max-rake with $1 BBJ drop as being f'ed up the ass too.

If you're going to stop tipping entirely when it's a $6 max-rake does that mean you would tip MORE if it was a $2 max-rake?
