Is Tipping De Rigeur In France and the Rest of Europe?
 

Is tipping expected in French poker rooms? If so, what are the typical guidelines?

What are the tipping customs in the other card rooms throughout Europe?

This is a legitimate question by Tom Brooks and I will allow it unless it gets out of control or becomes a debate. I like to think B&M is one of the more civilized forums at 2+2, lets keep it clean kids! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Ok. Then my answer would be to observe the other players. Unlike a restaurant or cab, you have the opportunity to see how the locals handle the situation before you act yourself.

I've never been to Europe but I have heard from European tourists that tipping isn't the norm or even allowed in some casinos, but the rake is absolutely ridiculous. Upwards of 1.5 - 2x U.S. rakes, give or take a few bucks.

Illegal to tip casino staff in britain. Imagine it's similar everywhere else. Tipping is mostly an american thing.
