Well my trip to Vegas didn't go well at all. We lost everything we brought, including the damn SB bets on the Patriots. Well the best thing happened to me though when I got back. WORK! Okay so I am a Black Jack dealer here at a local indian casino. I got sat-mon off from work and had to come back to work Wed morning at 2am. We flew back from Vegas and got in at 6pm. I went to work knowing it was my Friday I thought at least I have the next two days off. Then it happened. My best day dealing. I had some huge George at my table and made $4200 from him in 30 minutes. THEN when I went to my next table the person who runs the tables asked around if anyone wanted to go home early and after making $4200 I thought about it but said nah, because I could hit that guy again. Sure enough I hit him again and made another $3000. I made $7200 !! I am sooooo happy. After them taking 30% for uncle sam I still brought home about 5 g's . My old high was $2300 which I didn't ever think I would beat. Just thought I would share my good fortune with the rest of you. Already funded my 5dimes account yesterday. LET'S DO THIS BABY!!

No, sorry those were tips. Sorry I didn't make that clear lol

The dude that was tipping made $20,000 and tipped out $28,000

The girl behind me made $9000

EZ, we knew you were talking about tips. Do you have to split your tips with the other dealers or do you keep your own tips.

Congrats btw!

[Sam Odom]

Did you hook-up with him later in the hotel ?

[Dad]

EZ, you work at Pechanga? I might come pay you a visit soon.

[Sam Odom]

Dad , pechanga is the nutz

Poker Room better than most in Vegas as is the casino in general except the craps

[FindTheLock]

dealers on table games pull tips unless it's a poker table. No casino that I know of allows individual dealers to take home their own tips.

Does dealing yourself a sick 5 card hand to 21 to screw the whole table give you pleasure? I've thought of this and I have to admit I'd find it hilarious.

huh?

For a bj dealer you're ******* fuzzy on your math

Had no idea from original post wtf you were talking about

[Ez Money 77]

Yes we keep our own tips. My math wasn't incorrect its just he is tipping out the entire time he plays so he tipped out $28,000 and walked away winning $20,000. So his winnings didn't include the tips he gave out. Some of the casinos in California go for your own tips even as a blackjack dealer and I work at one that does. I cashed out $7,200 in tips and I get to take home 70% of that the other 30% goes on our check to help pay the taxes each pay period.

[Deuce]

I thought you pooled the tips at the tables?

[MonkeyF0cker]

They do at most casinos. Some don't.

Hooters Casino doesn't pool tips in the pit. I think every other casino in Las Vegas does though.

[Ez Money 77]

In California many casinos don't pool.

[jstblaze]

Excellent day!

You guys used to pool your tips at Pechanga if I remember correctly.

I dont like that, I think each dealer should get to keep his own chips. Why should the grumpy old dealer not interacting with the players gat a share of the happy go lucky dealer's tips when he is earing the tips by interacting with the players and making it a fun table to play at.

[Dad]

EZ, we've probably met at the tables before. I go to Pechanga once per year.

I didnt know you were Asian though.

Haha Dad. I myself am not Asian but yes being Caucasian I am definitely in the minority at my work. They have gone back and fourth with pooling tips and going for your own. They started going for your own then for a few years they were pooling tips. This is when some top guys were stealing from the dealers and not since I have been there which is almost 5 years we go for our own tips. Much better in most every dealers opinion.
