Very generous and admirable. For those who gamble for the income, tipping can eat into profits more than they often realize. When I was playing serious blackjack, I'd put out a bet for the dealer on the next hand whenever I got a blackjack, a common way to tip for blackjack players. I did the math once, and it pretty much wiped out the 1% advantage I had over the house with card counting.
Jean has been a long-standing and admired proponent of playing well, but also of keeping the mindset of a recreational player. If it's not fun, find something else to do.
Sorry if some didn't find the intended humor in my earlier post -- it happens.

As most everyone knows, Brad loves to tip. And because we were such regulars at the Palms, we knew so many of the employees. So that day we hit the dealt royal on 100-play, we did spread around a lot of bills. I remember I even dashed into the salon to share some jackpot money with my nail girl! We didn't routinely share it with nearby players, but once Brad did. That is a funny story I plan to put in an upcoming blog!

Oops. I meant to forward this to my friend but accidentally hit the reply button.But now that it's out I'll share with you all the most epic moment of my video poker life.I have always been a fan of Jean Scott but I had never met her in person. I was visiting from out of state (San Diego). Playing at the Palms on the progressive $1 double bonus bank. Drew four to an Ace and hit the Royal. While I waited to be paid, a lovely lady and her husband came up and graciously congratulated me. Then they both sat down directly behind me to play quarter 100 play.I thought they looked familiar and asked the lady sitting next to me if that was Jean Scott. Yes. She said that was Jean and Brad. Just then I heard a jubilant commotion. Jean had been dealt a pat royal for $100,000! A few minutes later while they were waiting to get paid, Brad drew one to a royal ( If I remember correctly ) and got a bunch of royals.I finally got my W2G and cash and scampered off to breathlessly call my San Diego friend ( also a Jean Scott fan and the person to whom I was trying to forward this post today)I didn't stick around to see who she tipped but I heard several floor folks chattering about the big win. It was obvious she and Brad were well loved among the Palms crew members.On Jul 31, 2020, at 4:56 PM, Barry Glazer b.glazer@att.net [vpFREE] <vpFREE@yahoogroups.com> wrote:Did she tip you? She reports tipping most anyone nearby very generously after a big win :)In case the words don't carry the tone, I'm trying to be humorous.===============On Friday, July 31, 2020, 04:40:44 PM EDT, Gayl gayl@pacbell.net [vpFREE] <vpfree@yahoogroups.com> wrote:
