Re: Suppose Tipping Poker Dealers Was Illegal
David,
In England tipping dealers is illegal, so maybe you should go there and do a case study. I used to play a lot in Birmingham(UK) and there was a mix of good and bad dealers, like there is here. At the place I played most often they charged 5 pound an hour sessions. There was another place with worse dealers that only charged 3 pounds an hour, but because the game was a little smaller(which may have had something to do with the bad dealers) I didn't go there.
One thing was that people who were good tended to rise to management positions, so they didn't stay dealers as long as they would have if they worked in America.
