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?
I think tipping is mostly an American custom which most international people tend to ignore. Personally, I am ok with tipping, as a reward, if they did an extraordinary job or went the extra mile just for you. Otherwise there is no point. And quite right too! Why would you give someone a reward for no reason? There has to be a good reason, if you ask me.
Furthermore as far as live casinos are concerned, I am not a huge fan of them. It seems rather unnecessary and in smaller, unknown casinos a quite risky way to play. A game should be provably fair and have no/a few ways to exploit as possible. Both from the side of the gamblers and the casino owners.
If you are betting hundreds of thousands and have a lot of money, then tipping is not an issue.
