Default Jackpot Tipping

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

I would tip the dealer probably somewhere around 500 but I don't know why I would tip the other players. I have absolutly no clue tho.

EDIT: Iwould tip 600 so I could walk away with 25k even.

that sounds like an equally good case for not tipping the dealer also.

READ THE FAQ - please keep your tipping opinions to yourself, statements like that just invite flames. If this happens again we will have to lock this thread, please keep the answers on topic, thank you in advance.

The OP asks for people's opinion on what to tip, so if you want people to keep their opinions on tipping to themselves, you might as well just lock this thread now. (I realize the amount suggested is absurd, but it is most likely his honest opinion).

When we started allowing tipping threads we knew that there would be a pandoras box effect, its the downside of the topic. We generally allow one slip up with a warning, then if the thread heads towards flamesville the the thread is locked and the flamer gets a time out for ignoring the warning earlier in the thread.

So in short the box stays open. Perhaps instead we should consider tipping threads a Venus Fly Trap just waiting for some fool to get caught.
