hmm
At the local club I play at, we are good friends with the guys who deal. The Royal Flush Jackpot has on occasion reached $2000, and since we play low stakes, this is considered a nice chunk of change. The action really goes crazy whenever the jackpot gets big. The last player about to fold sometimes asks the bettor if he has a chance at the royal (you only need one hole card for it to count), and if so he'll call to deal out the hand to give the guy a shot. Its a very friendly game and in this environment I would tip as much as 25% to the dealer (Personally I have seen people offer more) The dealers also occasionally play in the game so the money doesnt disappear necessarily.
As far as jackpots in casinos go, I'd tip much less, probably between 5-10%. I only to to AC to grind a little money out of the 1-2 NL game, so im not gonna try to act like a bigshot.

Don't Lock This...... I looked at the FAQ's definitive tipping thread and there 50+ posts. None are labled for tipping a Jackpot hand. Cut the OP some slack. I would like to know this as well.... [/ QUOTE ] for the record the warning wasn't against the OP, it was against a poster in the thread who responded to the OP with his political view of tipping. But all it takes is a few bad eggs to spoil the salad. No worries, we are keeping it open!

Re: Don\'t Lock This................
$500 would be a decent toke for the dealer, I brought this up with some other dealers who were over for the football game, and all of them would consider it a good toke as I would. Even $200 would be a nice gesture, that's better than many players will do and is still a nice bonus.
Incidentally, one of them dealt a six-figure BB jackpot recently and received zero from the main winner (a regular at his place who never tips). It's no BS saying that you don't have to massively overtip for a dealer to appreciate it.

Re: Jackpot Tipping
I was at a table at Sahara when the BBJ hit, and there was an old regular at the table who was insistent that everyone involved tip the dealer at least 10%. When the payouts were made he sat and basically counted to make sure everyone was tipping appropriately. Some people were made VERY uncomfortable by this, and to the dealers credit, she said, "sir, tipping is optional and I appreciate what your trying to do, but it's not necessary." That's all I got.

Re: Don\'t Lock This................
I understand wanting to spread the joy, but WHY would anyone ever think 10% is "standard"? In a poker room without BBJ or HHJ's, the dealers make their usual $1 per pot and are happy. The room creating a BBJ shouldn't necessarily become a lottery for the dealers, though many of them believe that's what it should be. (I honestly believe this is why many rooms have BBJs and HHJs--it's not to please the players, it's to create an income boost for the dealers). And I've heard dealers trying to get a BBJ pool created so all the dealers will share equally in any BBJ tips, while others are staunchly against it (in part because of the slippery slope to overall tip pooling).
Myself? I give about 25% away when I hit a $20 HHJ and the percentage slides downward from there as the total amount toked goes up. At some higher point, the dealer gets another, then the floor gets $5, then another $5 to the dealer. Never had to worry about $25K sorta jackpots, but I think I'd cap out at $500ish. I DO toke more for tournaments and I've given away more than $500 when I scored big tourney wins. That's different than BBJ/HHJ's...it's part of their necessary and just compensation. I don't object to folks giving away 10%. I do object to players and dealers insisting 10% is standard.
