[QUOTE=babybubba]

What's the chance a gambler at a machine has no 10-'s or 20's in their wallet? There's absolutely no doubt the only reason they do this is because they both want a tip and they've calculated that the probability of getting that tip goes way up. When you add these factors up, most would equate that to financial intimidation. When they pull that stunt on me even though I never tip, I always say "why didn't you just pay me all in hundreds?" That sends the message back their way.
 
I think this is kind of a "glass half empty/half full" debate. You're looking at the negative side (half empty = intimidation) while others might look at the positive side (half full = convienence).
 
I get a lot of small hand pays playing certain games. I don't tip on these handpays. I tip on the larger handpays. In both cases I get small bills and a smile from the attendents. I don't feel any intimidation either way.
 [/QUOTE] Could be the difference between playing professionally vs. playing as a habit. Could also be the difference between my handpays always being associated with a W2G and your's because of Indian casino requirement for small handpays. Either way, tipping people or even being hinted at to tip people who pay me for winning something while gambling my money in a casino makes even less sense than tipping the bank teller who counts out my money before my trip. And I don't think most people--esp. you--would EVER publicly admit you were intimidated into doing something whether you ended up doing it or not.

Yesterday, when the attendent was counting out $2000 for my RF, she did it ALL in large bills. She would have made Rob's day.
 
PS. I had the $20 tip ready and gave it to her when she finished counting out the money.
