The majority of casino employees get the greater part of their income from tips. Though this is very common in the “service industry” but it is essential for you to know whom you should give tips and how much tip you should normally give. Nearly all table game participants usually pay tip to the dealers in the course of their game while a few will pay tip to their dealer after finishing their game. But if you are playing slot games then it is little different for you.

Slot game players generally tip once they collect hand pay prize money. Usually once you win a jackpot a casino assistant will come to confirm the prize amount and will also tally your money. If in slots the jackpot amount is in excess of $1,200 then the assistant will hand you over tax forms which you will have to complete prior to your payment. Generally there is two or three assistant at the time of a hand pay. This is usually for security purposes in order to confirm that accurate amount of cash is being rewarded to the right person. This frequently causes a lot of confusion for you to decide which attendant needs to be tip.

It is not necessary for you to tip each attendant separately. Instead you can pay one of them a larger tip amount and ask them to divide among themselves. It is advisable for you to tip the person who handed over to you the jackpot money that you have won in the slot game. There is no fix amount in slot games for tipping after winning a jackpot. A lot of slot players will usually pay a tip amount anywhere between a half percent to one percent of the total jackpot amount. If the jackpot amount is over a thousand dollar then the tipping amount will vary from $5 to $10. Moreover one thing you will frequently notice that as soon as you get a hand paid prize amount the casino attendants usually pay you bills lesser than twenty. This might be because they expect you to pay a twenty dollar bill as tip. So it always advisable for you whenever you are playing slot games to carry five dollar and ten dollar bills along with you. This will help you to play a smaller tip amount. Moreover tipping is completely an individual choice and you should pay tips based on the nature of service provided to you by the casino attendants.
