The power of tipping

[Tico]

Money talks...bullsh*t works. This is exactly the case in this ###### Casino. This guy tips the dealer handsomely, and he gets 5.25 out of 6 decks pen. It seems that the management is aware of, Okay , and overlooks this tip-for-pen-practice, i.e., the Super-Catcher stands near that 6decker pit and chats away casually with other pitcritters .

To tip or not to tip for pen...that's the question for you guys

Been trying it lately on the advice of a good poster here. Jury is still out.

Ya, I have used tipping to my advantage for many years, just gotta be very smart about it as it is all about you,,not the dealer.

The patron tips and gets the favor back. He does not ask the dealer to cut it deep, does he ?

And is this in the least emp morale casino or the paranoid one?

I've found that a well placed toke here and there (needn't be too huge) gets nice pen and alot less if any shouts of "checks play"! If you watch Boardwalk Empire just look at what tipping did for Nucky when he wanted the Presidential Suite!

Hint: all its employees are now on the 90-DAY-PROBATION, including the brand new super-catcher , who was recently laid off from the Taj and hired by this casino. Don't get nailed by this catcher when you play there. He gets to pass his 90-day-probation by catching some APs to make himself look good.

Thanks to the power of Internet. I just keep on coming up with clues & hints for you guys through my fingertips on a keyboard by Googling, i.e., the Titanic photo, the news about this ##### casino's 90-day-probation imposed on all its employees, etc...

Why must you resort to this kind of banter?

I don't believe tipping helps get good pen, not in the AC environment. Nobody but us understands the significance of good pen and who would want it or why.

What it can help with is getting better comps, especially with a dual-rate PC. They are using us as a conduit to transfer the casino's wealth to themselves and giving us a piece of the action.

I would have agreed with you until I heard it with my own ears...

There's a DD game I play which used to have 75-90% pen. They changed it to 50%. All the ploppies stopped playing. I heard 2 reasons as they complained to the pit:
1. Too much shuffling
2. All the good cards come out in the second half of the deck!

In a 6D game, I agree with you. Unless it's half-shoed, nobody will notice (and even then, many won't).
