Dealers cannot accept tips at Star City

#1
Hi everyone,

I’m fairly new to the game of BJ, and was at Star City tonight playing on the $10 minimum tables, and was having quite a successful evening so i thought I would give the dealer a tip. He was very grateful and thanked me but returned the tip and told me he wasn’t allowed to accept tips.

Why on earth would a casino not allow their dealers to accept tips??? I’m shocked...

This is an Australia wide law. The relevant Victorian provision is as follows:

79A. Gratuities etc.

(1) A special employee (as defined in Part 4) in a casino must not solicit or
accept from a patron of the casino any gratuity, consideration or other
benefit relating to the performance of his or her duties as a special
employee.

I'm sure the NSW provision overseeing Star City has words to a similar affect.
