I wouldn't think there would be any, what greater incentive to s***w the house than to make a boatload of tips? I've never been to a casino that allowed that.

The majority of casinos in Atlantic City and Vegas all let the dealers keep their own tips. At the Borgata for example, dealers carry a large tube with their own tips from table to table.

At my home casinos here in CT, Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun, all of the dealers pool their tips and split them when it comes time for payday.

That's hard to answer. There are a lot of casinos in the world. Fitzgerald's in Tunica, MS did when I worked there and up until a couple of years ago. Now they're a split joint. Some casinos in Vegas do, but I don't know which ones. It works great for some people, but I struggled.

In most places that I know of, poker dealers keep their own tips or at least just split them among each other. Other dealers' (BJ, Craps, Roulette) tips are pooled and split and added to their base pay, taxed and that's their paycheck

*keeping your own tips is not incentive to rip off the casino for your own personal gain. Some dealers try that anyway. If you're working for your own, it may be more incentive to "hustle" harder to get tips from the players, but why rip off the casino if you're making great money keeping your own tips?

It depends on what your dealing, Blackjack dealers are on a 24hr split and a few indian casinos let you keep your own tips which is much higher than 24hr shift splits. Poker dealers all keep their own tips. I,ve dealt poker and blackjack for 15 plus years.

Some do and some don't. In most casinos, tips are put into a community "pot" and split evenly among the dealers.

Pechanga in Temecula, CA does. Choctaw in Durrant, OK does too. You could try asking on casinodealersnetwork.com. There are dealers from all over that could give you info about where they are.
