I'll suggest that host tips are most often directed to the area of
"discretionary comps" -- those comps for which a host is empowered to
offer based upon the player's status, but isn't obligated to ... or
comps for which excess capacity means that some players, who otherwise
wouldn't qualify for them, will receive them. Examples of the former
include a limited number of available room upgrades, show tickets that
are to be distributed to eligible players, or a limited excess supply
of either which will be given to lower tier players.
I think it's human nature that any tip will be given with some
anticipation that it will engender greater regard when it comes to
such comps - even if that anticipation is rather minimal; it's
unlikely any tip represents a pure gratuity vs. a true bribe. It's
the degree of intent in one direction or the other that characterizes
a tip.

This smacks of at at least a tad of self-righteousness, don't you think?
