Which Casino Games Pay the Best Tips for Dealers?

The Real Deal--games that earn the most tips for croupiers.

Most of those who gamble know that the “house always wins” but have you ever thought about what this actually means. Is the “house” just signified by some Al Pacino-like casino boss sitting in his pent house suite surveying all that is his? The answer to this question is a resounding no. The house is everyone from the casino boss right down to the guy who cleans up in the kitchen. Somewhere in between is the dealer, effectively the face of the casino and they are enjoying the winnings just as much as the rest of the house, in fact probably even more so.

If one is able to know when to hold and fold, you could find that you are capable of becoming a professional dealer. Make no mistake, this job is not just a waist coat, a bowtie and a couple of tips here and there, dealers can make some big money.

Card games hold the greatest potential earnings for dealers as compared to other games like roulette. And among the card games, Poker earns the biggest tips for its dealers. This probably comes from the fact that Poker dealers do not play against their customers as opposed to dealers of blackjack or other games. Think about it, players are usually in these games for the long haul. When you spend hours with someone you form a relationship. A good dealer takes this to a whole new level and countless reports have shown that those dealers that are able to win over their customers are headed for a personal jackpot. Players feel as if the dealer is on their side and that they want them to win. This is when the money making begins as players want to somehow reward or thank their dealer for the game. A good dealer makes a player feel as if it is an honor to tip him and takes this higher than the minimum tip level.

Poker is a great game to be involved in when looking to build relationships. Firstly it has the required length of play and it’s possible to get to know the people around the table. Secondly there are various wager classifications and if a dealer can get into a high stakes poker game, then it could mean a large payout. In one instance a dealer walked away with 5 percent of a $2 million jackpot! Not bad for six hours' work. And third and most importantly, poker dealers do not compete with the players so the customers feel that dealers are neutral or, even better, on their side.

Obviously the key to earning better tips as a dealer is making sure that you are indispensable. According to Online Poker News, you need to prove to the casino that you are professional and proficient in all the latest games and techniques, make sure that you are properly licensed but most important of all, build relationships with players. Those dealers that are able to do this last step effectively will find that players seek them out. Casinos like this sort of trend and there are often incentives involved for dealers that can attract a certain caliber of players to their table. This is what separates the boys from the men among dealers. Good dealers need to provide their players with a good experience; people want to have fun gambling. They already know that there is a very real chance that they could lose their money, but they at least want to enjoy doing it. This is where the mark of a good dealer on any game shows. One that is able to take a player’s money from them but is then still rewarded for the experience with a generous tip. For at the end of the day, a good dealer always earns the most tips no matter which game he/she is dealing in.
