a couple of q's about tips and the rake


Recommended Posts

I wonder what the rake is in"'the big game?" I assume the players pay by time rather that a % of each hand, but how much?Also, how does the dealer fare for tips in that game? I live in Australia where we aren't allowed to tip dealers, does the dealer usually receive a tip off the winner of a hand (EVERY hand ??) in the casinos in vegas? And, if so, how does anyone ever manage to win in the lower limit games ?

Dealers hate their time in the big game as a group, because very few of the top pros tip a lot, as I understand it. The way that time is paid is that whoever wins the first pot pays for time (called a time pot). The time that they pay is $10 per player per dealer down (which is a half hour). If the game that the dealer moves into is a split pot game (like Omaha/8) and the pot ends up split, then the winners split the time payment.

To answer your question about tipping, in Vegas players are not that good about tipping dealers. I generally tip every few hands that I've won if the dealer is running a good game. I will usually tip a dollar, unless I'm playing no limit and I win a big pot, then I tip a bit better. If I'm stuck, I wait until I catch back up to tip.
