Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 2596779, member: 23910"] Dealers aren't allowed to accept tips by law here, in part because the government think it increases the risk of collusion between dealers and players. That's obviously more of a potential issue with table games than it is with poker, but everyone gets lumped in together. And also in part because we don't really have a tipping culture here - we just believe in paying people properly in the first place. And I've gotta reiterate: [B]the games aren't slow because the dealers are slow[/B], or spending too much time talking to the players or anything. It's all about the players. The casino does have hands per hour targets, poker dealers are supposed to aim for 30-40 hands/hour. That said, I've also heard floor managers tell players they can expect "at least 20" hands per hour so they're not super-strict on enforcing that - again, because they acknowledge that it's the players that have the biggest influence. Especially on a Friday or Saturday night when there's a heap of drunk recreational players in the room. Dealing to a half-full table of regs on a Tuesday afternoon might be a different matter. My personal experience as a player there is if you're getting 25+ hands/hr, you're doing pretty well. Table games are a different matter obviously: in an hour they expect dealers to churn out 90+ hands of blackjack, 60+ spins on roulette, 80+ hands on baccarat, and that's much more closely monitored and enforced. As far as the rake goes, rates are crazy high here because it's the only casino in town and they can basically charge what they like. $1/$2 was 10% capped at $20 at one point. At other points they've charged time [b]and[/b] raked every pot. [/QUOTE]
