Why tip the craps dealers?Because they make minimum wage, and because you'll get better service when you tipBut besides helping dealers earn a decent living, tipping definitely gets you better service. Dealers have the ability to give players a very different experience depending on whether they're tipping or not. They can offer or withhold information that could be helpful to you, or they can volunteer it freely (within any limits set by the boxman or floorpeople). When you start play at a craps table the first thing a dealer will consider is whether you're going to place wagers at some point for him/her. Dealers can readily tell what their chances are of enhancing their income by the way a player acts, the way that they place wagers, whether or not they are receptive to advice, whether or not they ask questions, the way a player dresses, whether they have washed their hands recently, whether or not they have clean fingernails, how nervous they are, and how anxious they are to get beverage service. When a dealer thinks a player won't tip, (s)he'll likely make minimal effort. A dealer won't necessarily give bad service, (s)he just might not go out of his/her way to give good service. Although this is unrelated to tipping, players with poor table etiquette also fail to get good service. Actually, it's not completely unrelated, because players with poor etiquette are often the same ones who are less likely to tip. Players who take half a minute to set the dice, or throw chips at the dealer or the dealer's stack, or continually shoot the dice so hard that they leave the table, make dealers uninterested in helping them. The way you act is the way that the dealers will treat you. Be sure to see our article on craps etiquette. ©2001-08 NextShooter.com. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Terms/Privacy | Advertising | |
