Re: Jackpot Tipping
[ QUOTE ]
I was at a table where a player won the Diamond Royal Flush jackpot. $25,600.00. What do you think would be the correct tip to 1. DEALER 2. players at the table?? He gave the dealer $1,000.00 and 7 players @ the table $200.00 each. Thanks [/ QUOTE ] For a 26k payoff, $500 is certainly pretty decent, and $1,000 would be very large - but tips like that aren't unheard of. Regarding the prize, remember that the winner's going to pay a lot of tax, he'll have like 17k left over or so if I'm doing the math right. So 1k would really be a lot, I'd say it would be just about that upper limit of what a dealer would ever be toked here. As far as the other players, I dunno. For only $200, probably a $5 each would be about right, if even that. EDIT: Oh, I think I misread. With this BBJ all of the money went to the one player and nothing to the rest of the table at all? I thought the other players got a small percentage which came out to $200. That's kind of odd to me. I guess $500 to the dealer and maybe $100 to the other players or so might be right... it's hard for me to say because I've never seen players toke other players, except in blackjack or something. Are 'winner-take-all' BBJs common out west?

Re: Jackpot Tipping
I was at Hrock in Tampa when a guy at my table hit the spade bingo for 36k and change. Gave everyone at the table 200 bucks. So the dealer got the same amount. I was stoked and thought it seemed fair for the dealer, nice guy though, was just generous with the rest of the table as well.

Re: Jackpot Tipping
I would tip the dealer 10% after I figured the taxes so between $1700-2000. I hit the bbjp at a local club(i.e. no taxes) for $5000 and gave the dealer $500, $100 to the floor and $100 to the security. I'm a big tipper I know it sounds like alot but I'm a firm believer in Karma. I may offer to pay everyones time while I stayed at the table or order food for everyone else but I wouldn't tip the other players.

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....

Re: Don\'t Lock This................
Today I offered to tip the dealer at a 8-16 table 10% if he dealt me a jackpot. A regular told me 10% was standard. "Not for me" I replied. Then I winked at the dealer and upped my offer to 15%.
I don't have a strong opinion, if I can recall at my last BBJ I tipped around 10%. If you are a regular, whether pro or just for fun, you also have to consider how you will be perceived. I've tend to tip more now than I used to because I play at the same place every day. People know who I am, treat me well, and even though I'm a winning player I'd rather not increase my win rate $3 per hour by tipping the minimum. I enjoy the karma. So if I hit the BBJ, it's impossible for me to undertip. But if I hit it at a "foreign" casino with personnel who I didn't feel treated me well, I'm probably tipping the minimum.

I wouldn't expect them to anything for me either, but I guess giving them $100 each isn't out of the question if you want to be generous. It's tricky, if I won a 25k slot jackpot I wouldn't tip anyone but the attendant, so I'm not sure why I'd consider sharing with the other players.
