How much do you tip a slot machine attendant?
For those who visit and still enjoy the services of these live casino operators, am curious as to know how you tip the attenders. Do you tip only when you are winning and how much is too much tip to give? Also, I do not think online casinos even have this option, but if there is, can you share?
In most parts of US, any payout of more than $1,200 is paid in person by the slot floor person. The tipping here starts with a minimum amount of $20 and can be up between 3-10 percent of the jackpot reward. It however, depends on the discretion of the customer.
Do you think it is necessary to give tips or it is just a tradition that is required?
The tipping culture that America has is totally bizarre and alien to how most countries operate, so it's a bad guide stick to how you should be expected to react. Why would you give anything specifically to "slot machine attendants"? It's not like they're a croupier that is running a game table which requires a lot of concentration and skill to perform. These people should be paid an adequate wage to do a rather basic job, which I can only assume entails helping customers with how to play games and maybe running drinks - hardly an intense job or something special. Sure, if you get a big win you might tip a staff member or two who are close by, besides that I doubt they are expecting anything more.
