Sigh.
Why can people just not accept that dealing is a tipped profession? Dealers make MINIMUM WAGE.

No a true tipped profession makes far less (2.63) then MINIMUN WAGE and is expected to make up the difference, a dealer makes that PLUS tips. The one thing this thread has helped me decide is that if I ever did win a tournament like this I would tip ZERO on top of what was already taken out.

Thanks, Ill be turning 21 soon and am a B&M noob, but knowing what dealers hourly is clears up some confusion I had about how much to tip... where I live, 20 dollars an hour is more than a fair living wage for someone without a college degree. Say you get 30 hands/hr in at the tables. Say 15 of them are decent pots... I would never tip more than 1 dollar per hand I won unless no one else at the table was tipping and I felt bad, or unless the dealer was very courteous or kept the game running very smoothly.
Do dealers get part of the rake on top of their minimum wage, or is that all taken in by the casino as revenue to pay business expenses?? Seems to me that dealers should get a chunk of the rake rather than tips, which would encourage them to make the table friendly and fast, with big pots and lots of hands/hr.
