Default Re: Suppose Tipping Poker Dealers Was Illegal

David,

I'd be estatic if tipping were illegal, but dealers were paid 1$ per hand dealt (more in rooms where quality dealers were really important, i.e. Bobby's room). You'd need to balance this by charging a penalty (5$?) for misdeals that required the floor to be called -- the 5$ could spalsh the next pot.

The casinos could charge a (10%) four dollar rake and make a steady 3$ per hand. Dealers would get through hands faster, knowing that their income is dependant on speed and not making mistakes.
