A while ago I wrote a post after reading about Jean Scott's
incredible dealt royal on a 100 play. Basically, the thread had to do
with how much players feel they should tip after hitting a jackpot.
More recently I posted about hosts that interrupted my play in high
limit. I referred to them as "pesky" and wondered how they knew who I
was.
That discussion branched off into how hosts should be treated so that
players receive the maximum possible. What could the "secret tips" be?
So, I'm wondering if it is a bribe, a tip, or some other type of
thank you when you give something to a host? Or does it matter?
Vegas is built around money. Those of us who fly in during the summer
would have absolutely no other reason to come there. Sure, there is
perhaps unrivaled entertainment and food. But it is always the lure
of a big win that brings us back.
Host know that. They are employed to maximize their "talent pool"
(meaning us) and in most cases are not close personal friends.
To that extent, the player/host relationship to me is more similar to
a business relationship than a friendship. And people handle their
business dealings in a variety of ways.
So, without making a judgment about what others do, I think everyone
needs to approach their host within their own "comfort zone" of what
they feel is appropriate. If I didn't slip any of my hosts a $100
bill it doesn't make me a fool because I may get less. And I'm not
sure it makes someone who does guilty of bribery.
Like I said, to each, his or her own.
