Tippng blackjack dealer?

Question

where do you place your chips when your tipping the blackjack dealer?

Answer 1

you can either hand them directly to them and usually putting them past the insurnace line works or tossing them their way on the table gently or telling them that its for them works, at the place i go to if u want to bet for the dealer u can place them infront of ur bet then when the hand is over if they win they collect them and drop them in the toke box if they lose they go back into the rack, or u can just place a couple dollars on top of ur bet and then give it to them when the hand is over

Answer 2

If you're betting for the dealer, most casinos want the bet placed in front of the betting circle(closest to the dealer) touching the betting circle but not in it.  There are some that require it to be set off center, but the dealer will move it to the correct position in those cases.  When the bet wins the dealer will take the tip and put it in their toke box.  If it doesn't, they'll put it in the rack.

If you don't want to bet for them, just toss a chip gently toward the insurance line and say, "This is for you."  Don't reach over the insurance line to hand it to them, that is the boundary that the player can not pass.

In Blackjack, I always tip the dealer at the start of a shoe.

When you play blackjack, you place your bet on a "spot" and I place a tip ( or toke ) for the dealer outside the "spot" toward the dealer. This indicates that I am placing a bet for the dealer on the next hand. As a rule, the dealers like this, since it gives them the chance to double up the tip.

I then sometimes comment " the dealer is in the game, let's hope we all win"

When you do this and get a double down or split, be sure to always double up the tip too.

It ALWAYS pays to have the dealer on your side in blackjack, for many reasons!

If the prevous shoe was good for me, I increase the tip at the start of the new shoe.

At the end of my session, I usually will also tip the dealer the table minimum (or more for a good session, or a helpful and friendly dealer) by passing a chip over the insurance line, leaving it, and say " For the crew." ( Most casinos split all tips over the shift)

Good luck at the tables, and a Happy 4th of July to all!

Answer 4

I place my tips above the bet and let him know thats for him.In are casino they are not allowed to take anything from your hand you gotta put it on the table for the cameras to see so they don't think you are cheating.

Answer 5

You can give the dealer the chips directly, "here's a tip" or you can put the chips in a pile next to yours and say "this bet's for you" or you can add the chips to your bet and say "you're riding on my coattails" which means if you win they get to keep the tip, if not they don't!

Answer 6

dont tip the blackjack dealer until you leave the casino and your up. because if you stay there he will eventually have more money then you..
