    What If the Dealer Tips You?

    I am a GTC tipper all the way. Every roll I have there is a tip on the line for the dealers and if the roll gets long I increase the number of tips. The casino where I usually play has two dealers who will overlook a seven on the come-out roll and not take down my come bets with odds. They leave them up.

    Do you think they are tipping me? They take everyone else’s come bets but not mine.

    Do you think I should say something or just benefit from their "kindness"?

    Hi Broadway:
    A few of us experienced this in Vegas during the classes. Most of the time it happens with inexperienced dealers or dealers not paying attention. Do not look at this as them tipping you because they could lose their jobs if it was intentional. I keep quiet and keep on playing without skipping a beat and continue to increase the tips as the game progresses. It is definitely a bonus when it happens.

    I have had this happen more than once. I have pointed this error out to the dealer and he took my bet down. I talked to him later when he was on break and we were away from the table and he said in the future, it is best not to say anything as he can be written up and possibly lose his job.

    I truly think they do this for those are tipping.

    Botton line don’t say anythin,g for as DP says, it is a bonus. Don’t interupt the flow of the game.

    Just my thougts,

    During one of the lectures, students were always told not to say anything because the dealer could be written up or lose his job. It has happened a number of times to us, but almost always by an inexperienced dealer. We have never said anything.

    There have also been a few occasions when I have put my pass line bet down before the dealer was finished paying out (my mistake, not wanting to forget to bet). When the dealer tried to pay me, I would always say, "This is a new bet," and the box and dealer would thank me. In this case, honesty is the best policy.

    I think you have to follow the law and the law in Vegas says that you are not responsible for any mistakes a dealer makes. Now, even if you think the dealer is "tipping" you, since you can’t read his mind it is probably best to just shut up and take the money. You can embarrass a dealer and cause him a hassle if you point out his mistake.

    Of course, I realize that this opinion is skirting a moral line but moral lines are skirted all the time.
