Dealt Royal?

[FloridaPhil]

When I get a hand pay they usually send two people to pay me.  For $2,000, I give both girls $20 each. $4,000 I give them both $50.  I once hit two $4,000 royals in 20 minutes and gave them $100 each.  I don't know if I'm tipping too light or too heavy, but I like to help hard working people.   I image they get a lot of crap and it's nice to see them smile.

Just curious...what's the normal percentage for tipping on hand pays now. Haven't had one since the advent of ticket in ticket out technology.

I set a standard $20 for hand pays regardless of the amount. My thought is that the attendant had to go through the same effort whether for a $1,200 or $12,000 hand pay. They just have to count longer .... OK I did have them cut a check and cash once when I got a really big hit. [/QUOTE]

Thanks, I'll keep it in mind if I ever see a hand pay again.

My vote is for way too heavy.

Do you also tip the bank teller when they bring you your money?

The first time I got a hand pay was for a 50c royal. I was so excited that I never even considered leaving a tip. Then I looked up and saw some disappointed faces after they counted the last hundred out in 20's. They also were whispering something to each other and looked back at me like I was some kind of cheapskate as they walked away. That was five years ago, and I'm happy to say that I have never left a hand pay tip since, even on a $2.00 royal I hit at the Palms. Those people who talked under their breath about me spoiled it for everyone else after that. Just the way it is, but I have saved myself a lot of money too.

So you're penalizing every other slot attendant because you made a mistake by forgetting to tip? That's weak. If you are too cheap to tip or you don;t believe in tipping, just say so.

That's correct, I was too wrapped up in what was going on, and the slot attendants were only interested in paying me out those last five 20's so they could get a tip..which ruined it for all slot attendants who hand pay me going forward. I probably did believe in tipping up until they stared me down for not tipping. Now I wouldn't tip attendants if they wore signs saying their children were starving. If I'm considered cheap because of that then that's the way it is. I have the last laugh because it's not me giving away free money to people who don't deserve it.

Standard operating procedure in the service industry. Just weigh us down w more bills since you don't trust us to tip! Any way of getting a check at the outset and bypassing the show biz aspect? Just asking theoretically as I'm a low roller.
