There is no set amount for tipping after a jackpot. Many players will tip somewhere between a half to one percent of the jackpot. For a thousand dollar jackpot, this would be between $5 to $10 dollars. When you do receive a hand paid jackpot, they never bring you bills smaller than a twenty.

You can also tip your dealer by sharing your winnings with them. In this case your tips should equal between 1 – 5 percent of each pot you win. If you are in a ring game and win $100 in a hand playing poker, you should give your dealer a $5 tip.

You can just give chips to the dealer as a tip, or you can place a bet for the dealers. Most people tip the dealers when they are winning and rarely tip when they are losing. If the bet you placed for the dealer wins, they get the original bet and the money they won. If the bet loses, they get nothing.

As you may know there are plenty of cameras in casinos to keep an eye on the patrons as well as the employees. The tapping tips on the tables or other gestures is to make a record of knowingly receiving a tip vs confusing it with money moving around that is in play. Clear and safe for everyone.

Casino security systems oversee the integrity of game play. They also protect the casino too. When dealers show their hands– called ‘clearing the hands’– they motion to the camera that nothing is in their hands. The clapping from the dealer prior to this is intended to dislodge anything that might have been there.

Of course, the blackjack dealer doesn’t always win, but many people feel the dealer wins a disproportionate number of times in blackjack. It’s a basic rule of the casino business that the house only offers games where it has an “edge”.

If you are a basic strategy player and you want to tip a friendly dealer, my recommendation is to tip a few dollars if you are a $5 or $10 bettor, and tip $5 if you are a $25 bettor.

In Face-up Blackjack, where all the cards dealt are exposed, including both dealer’s cards, the correct strategy is to split 10s against the dealer’s 13, 14, 15 or 16.

As for single-deck blackjack, splitting 7s is recommended when the dealer’s face-up card has a value of 2 through 8 only. However, the 7s should be split against the 8 only on condition the house rules allow for doubling down after pair splitting.
