Default Re: Suppose Tipping Poker Dealers Was Illegal

I posted a similar reply in another thread, but basically why do dealers make so much? It really makes no sense to me. They aren't doing a hard job. They are using a very small portion of their brain to count some chips and throw some cards. As far as i'm concerned if a dealer makes $12-15/hr they should be happy.

I think when they work in an environment where really large amounts of money are being slung around, you'd want their compensation to be high enough that they give a shyte about keeping their jobs. If a guys making say 40 bucks an hour or so, I think he's likely to feel like that's pretty good money. If he's making 12...well how tempting does it become to collude with one of the players somehow?
