Tipping on Hand Pays

[backsider]

I do tip when getting a handpay--and I'm with billyjoe, it's $20 regardless of the amount. I also tip the drink waitress--I don't think that makes me dumb, I think it makes me grateful. Especially the waitresses--they're not paid very much and I think depend on the tips, and frankly, I think it's a lousy job, they're on their feet all shift and they have to take crap from lots of drunks, so I'm happy to give them a buck or two for a drink.

Jane, I always tip the cocktail waitresses well, but I base the tip on their looks. Look hot and service doesnt matter. Fat and ugly gets very little with me. What they make for a wage is none of my business and not my responsibility to bolster.

Doesnt matter when youre DEALT A ROYAL ON A FIVEPLAY DOLLAR MACHINE, now does it.
 Actually, it does matter.  The infrequent big hits wiil, indeed, come along every now and then, no matter what the pay table is.  But, if the play between the big hits is on inferior pay tables, your bottom line will be less.  [/QUOTE]

Thats just theory. Actually, I was doing very well prior to that hit also. What happened afterwards is not known yet until I play again, but I could get just as lucky, effectively destroying all theories and theorists at the same time. [/QUOTE]
   Backsider in a post you made on May 22, 2012 you said, and I quote: "I am ahead now since starting to play by somewhere around $6,500." End quote. How can you even claim that you were doing very well prior to that hit when, if you remove the $20,000.00 hit from your tally, you would be down $13,500.00?  

[backsider]

Ted I was referring only to this year as far as being ahead. Ive already admitted to being a lifetime loser up to that point. I was "doing very well" in 2012 prior to the hit because I was slightly ahead YTD for a change.

Backsider,I don't know you except by your posts on this forum.  Fortunately, I don't believe you mean everything you say.  If I did, I would certainly take offense at your "tipping" method.  Only tip good looking women with no regard to the service you have received.  Fat, ugly women, no matter the level of service, do not get a tip from you.I wonder what your mother or sister (if you have any) would say to that.BTW, I am a tall, slender attractive woman who tries really hard not to say anything bad about anybody.  Some opinions are better kept to yourself.With that being said, I hope you don't ever have your wife gain weight and become one of those "fat, ugly" women.Cheer up and be a little kinder to others who wish you no harm.

I only said I dont tip fat & ugly waitresses "as well". Why not, its a casino and you would expect exceptional t&a, no?

My belief that it is incredibly stupid to tip on handpays is accurate.

While I have read most of the posts on this topic, I do not see where it is going.  A lot of people ganging up on one poster is doing “what” to answer the tipping question.I like the point raised by backslider as to how a tip changes a players total return.  Has there been a definitive statement made in response to his point  by anybody that we might call a video poker expert?If there are no rules, regulations, laws, or executive orders on the subject of tipping why can’t people tip, in their own way without judgements or personal attacks?When I go to the casino cashier and turn in my casino chips for money, why do I not tip this person?  When I go to the promotion booth and ask for a comp to the coffee shop, why do I not tip this person?  When I buy a happy meal at McDonald’s why do I not tip the cashier?  Does the cashier not make less than the employees at most casinos?Lets look for a new topic to entertain ourselves with.......I will make up a new topic just to keep certain people entertained.

 Beiieve it or not, some people do tip the cashier  (not me, I might add).

Tipping $20 on a 50c 9/6 JoB Royal Flush reduces the theoretical return by .02% to 99.524%Considering backsider's willingness to play crappy paytables because the overall return of the game doesn't matter, it's pretty much a moot point.  The irreconcilability of his positions is pretty laughable.If he'd rather give an extra bet or two to the house every time he hits a flush or full house instead of giving $20 to someone who helps get him back into action quickly, I guess that's his business.

Its called willpower and the ability to not be intimidated into feeling obligated to leave a useless tip. But since you are weak willed, you dont really want to hear that correct?

I suppose maybe if you had kept your silly tips on handpays over the years, you might have been able to play higher limits and leave more tips that make you not have to wipe the sweat from your brow as the handpay fairies walk away. Who in the world can handle not making up for their low wages, or that nasty glare they give anyway? Reconcile that!
