Anyone that doesnt tip the dealer?

[Xhad]

OK, I have now read the rest of the thread and my reply doesn't make much sense. I would personally still tip even though tips are pooled, simply because I would rather reward the bad dealers than punish the good ones.

I admit..the pooled toke system does suck, which is one of the major reasons I switched to poker. I still toke when playing blackjack/poker, or whatever when they are pooled. I will go out of my way, however, to let the great dealers know what a shame it is for them to have to split the tokes with everyone else... For the bad dealers, I just won't tip... I'm not going to be a jerk about it, and let them know I'm purposely not tipping... I just hope they take the hint and clean their act up. (highly doubtful)

My sentiments exactly. This needs to be a sticky.

I live in Oshawa, It's close to Toronto.
The two closest Casinos for me are the Great BLue Heron Casino in Port Perry ( and trust me there isn't anything great about it) and Casino Ramma in Orillia.

Port Perry is a 20 minute drive and Ramma is an Hour and A half.

If there was ever a dirtiest Casino ever award The Great Blue Heron would win it hands down. The place is filthy, and the tables are filthy. It is also the only Casino I have ever been to where they regularly run out of small chips.

I can't rememeber how many times I have been asked or seen others asked to grab either $1 chips for the poker tables from the roullette wheel or .50 & .25 from the slot people so they can pay the commisions on the Pai Gow Poker tables.

I have had the Pitboss keep running totals on myself and several other players several times on how much they owe me because they don't have enough small change to give back when they pay commisions. Rinse and repeat for an hour or two until they finaly get around to getting the security guards to give em chips.

For this reason I drive the extra hour and go to ramma and don;t go to Port Perry anymore

I think you are right on the money, even if tips are pooled, the physical act of them dropping the toke is positive reinforcement. The lack of a tip also sends a message even if it doesn't make much of a financial impact.

I tip much better at Belterra, Tunica and anywhere the dealers keep their own tips. It is very rare for me not to tip a buck. I tip even the worse dealers on the planet as long as they have a good attitude and are trying to do right. I won't tip an ass. If a dealer is an ass, He is out of luck because there is no excuse for that.

Yeah, "Let 'em eat cake".

Good idea, I am going to stop tipping everywhere - Restaurants, bars, the whole shooting match.

Wished I'd thought of this before. I could have had an in ground swimming pool with all the tips I would have saved. I could be sitting back, drinking pina coladas by the pool with all the savings.

Think I'll stop giving anything to anybody. No birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, even cards. And forget about flowers to the dead sons-of-bitches in the coffins. What would they need flowers for?

Come to think of it, I am not even going to go to wakes anymore. I could be making money online playing poker with my time. Yeah, not even giving my time to anyone anymore. Time is money.

Man, you are on to something.

Fxxx everyone.

Just got back from quick trip to local casino. Stiffed the dealer every pot I won. Worked out well. One dealer gave me some lip. So, I gave him a “Sup bro?”, kicked him in the nuts and said, “LImitPlayer and RJT don’t toke no more.”

I was on such a high , I went out and stole a Piaget watch. Then I bolted on a haircut and a massage.

[pshabi]

LMFAO!!!!

But it would've been funnier if you would've said, "then I pulled a dine-n-dash at Denny's."

Seriously, I laughed out loud.

I'd rather have that $1,000 in my pocket instead of the dealers.
Anyone else feel this way?

I feel this way. I would much rather have the 1K in my pocket. But I am not a complete [censored], so I tip. You are flirting with disaster here, as runaway busses tend to find people like you.
