p,

"On a normal day.... This is called an "up/down" rotation and it was that way alot durring the week... Now lets imagine that this dealer works his full 8 hour shift... Now we will use the amount of $24... $267.28 for the day. It works out to be $33 and change/hour..."

Thank you for providing the detailed explanation. Using the numbers you provided, dealers dealing a typical 8-hour day during the WSOP would be making $33/hr at a $24/down rate and about $40/hr at a $30/down rate.

This is the type of information players need when giving feedback to Harrah's regarding dealer compensation as well as making their own decisions regarding personal tipping amounts.

So, a followup question. If tip amounts work out to be what you expect and they stay the same for next year, do you think most of the good dealers will return next year to work the WSOP?

<font color="red">Yes they will most likely come back. also there are dealers that have worked this event every year now for 20 + years </font>

$33 an hour for a typical work year of 2,000 hours is about 70k per year plus free food and rooms in fancy casino resorts.....

Where do we get free rooms and food? Yes this year harrahs provided food to us which was way cool but there are only about 2 stops on the road that have an employee dining room that is close enough for us to get to on our breaks and only 2 places that provide rooms. The travelling dealer must pay for all expenses to and from events (there are some UK events that help out with that but only a few of us are hired to go), We must pay for all food, some places give us and employee discount but that is very rare. We must Pay for all rooming expenses, There are 2 places I know of that cover your room and there are some places that the local hotels will give you a discount and as for WSOP here in vegas and on the road, we are never allowed to stay on property unless you are upper mngmnt.
This is only stating some facts that you obv didnt know but Im sure you all will take it as me complaining lol

You've done nothing but complain this entire thread. Usually it takes the form of "I'm happy with what I made this year, BUT WHINE WHINE COMPLAIN BITCH BITCH JESUS FERGUSON OMG WTF BBQ."

Prime example here: "Yes, Harrah's paid for our food, BUT OTHER PLACES DON'T AND WE HAVE TO WALK A LONG WAY TO THE BUFFET!! WAH WAH WAH POOR ME DEALING CARDZ!"

It's really quite tiresome.
