We play at several local casino bars when the progressive jackpots become "positive." A number of other regular VP players do the same. A question has come up about the amount of tip the bartender deserves. We of course tip the people who pay out the royals, and that amount seems to vary a great deal. What IS a fair amount to tip?
We have had this discussion with a couple of bartenders, who have made a valid point that once the royal is hit, their business drops off considerably until it builds back up again, something that may take several days. They are of course involved, since they notify casino personnel that the royal has been hit. We do always leave them a tip, but they point out that video poker players are considerably less generous with their tokes, than, say, keno players. As a matter of fact, the word "cheap" has been bandied about. So what is an equitable amount?
