The flashing lights and ringing bells of a casino can be incredibly distracting, making it easy to forget the human element of the floor.

Failing to tip a dealer after a massive winning streak is considered incredibly rude and will instantly make you unpopular at the table.

Tipping the Dealers: The Most Important Rule

Casino dealers are highly skilled professionals who often rely on tips to make up more than 70% of their total annual income.

To place a bet for them in blackjack, put a chip slightly outside your betting circle; if your hand wins, the dealer's bet also wins.

• A standard rule of thumb is to tip the dealer roughly $5 for every $100 you win during a moderately successful session
• Placing a bet for the dealer is highly preferred by the staff, as it makes them actively root for you to win the hand
• If you are playing for several hours and steadily breaking even, you should still tip the dealer occasionally for their hard work and entertainment

Tipping the Waitresses, Valets, and Cashiers

Beyond the dealers, cocktail waitresses (often called beverage servers) are the hardest-working individuals on the entire casino floor.

If you tip $5 on your very first drink order, the waitress will actively seek you out for the rest of her shift, ensuring your glass is never empty.

A few extra dollars given to the staff will exponentially improve the quality of your entire casino experience.
