I was just over at the Borgata and was told by multiple dealers that the winner of the Main Event left no tip for the dealers. The dealers said that they only ended up making around $10 per hour for the entirety of the Borgata Poker Open.

At the risk of being a jerk here, the dealers at the Borgata generally sucked, took no pride in their work, and therefore didn't deserve a good wage from what I saw at the BPO. It's only a shame because it will discourage the few good dealers from continuing there, making the problem worse. This is coming from someone who tips the dealers/staff pretty well if they do an even remotely decent job.

This was not my experience. I played 6 prelims and the main event, and logged over 60 hours at the tables (I did not play the $2500 or $5000 prelims). Most of the dealers were competent, a few definitely were bad (which I blame on the management, not them, since they obviously just didn't have enough experience to be dealing in events of significance), some were good. I left a decent tip in the one event in which I cashed. And I think I'd have to have dealers openly rooting for bad beats against me to leave $0 out of $1.5 million.
