Default Re: Suppose Tipping Poker Dealers Was Illegal

I don't have an answer, but I know that in Australia, dealers and casino staff aren't allowed to accept tips, and they were mostly competent at the Aussie Millions.

And I know that when I played at Burswood in WA the dealers made between 15-19 dollars an hour with benefits, since tipping is not allowed in casinos, and generally never done ever in Oz.

Don't the Aussie casinos also take a ridiculous amount in rake?

See this thread in the B&M Forum from May where AshtrayBroom asks "1/2NL game at my B&M beatable? (Crown Casino, Melbourne, Australia" and in the OP indicates a 10% rake upto $6 in $1/2NL and a $5 hourly time charge.
