How to Tip Craps Dealers?

Question

I'm going to Vegas and have heard that you should tip the craps dealers. I love craps because it is so face paced. I'm sure the dealers work very hard and I want to tip them. If I win, I will tip a lot more. How do I go about tipping? Do I tip money or do I tip chips? How much do I tip? I'm guessing around $10 would be good.

Answer 1

Always tip with chips, not cash.

There are as many ways to tip at a craps table as there are bets. Many people who play the sucker bets in the middle will place hard way, yo (11) and/or horn bets for the house along with their own bets. Pass line/come bet players will usually play their regular pass line with odds bet, then add a smaller bet along side it with or without odds for the dealer. It's also perfectly acceptable to throw them a couple chips from time to time, usually after a good run. I also will usually give my extra chips to the dealer when I cash out. For example, if I cash out $512, I'll give the dealer the $12.

Good luck and have fun.

Answer 3

You could place a bet for the dealers alongside your bet.  If you win the boys win too.

You could wait until your session is finished and tip them chips.

Answer 4

you make a regular pass line bet for yourself as you should.  when a point is established make the odds bet..as you should..then ask if you can make an additional odds bet for the dealer...they will take it...the cameras see it and the pit boss knows it...''anything else would be uncivilized''
