Do you tip casino dealers?
I usually never tip the dealer in the casino. I play blackjack and sometimes when I color up around $500 to $1000 in chips, the dealer looks disappointed when I walk away without tipping. But I have a few times (only 3 times out of 100s of tables) toss a $5 chip the dealer’s way (because I liked the dealer at that table), but the way I see it is why should I cheat myself out of my winnings by tipping because when the casino is winning (I’m losing), they don’t tip me. I also have my own reasons for not tipping. Also, I’m still down in overall blackjack and when I get ahead, then maybe (and that’s only a maybe) I’ll start tipping only tables that I win good at.
So, do you tip the dealer or place a side bet for the dealer?
I’ll like to add just because I cash out for $1000 doesn’t necessary mean I’m winning. I could be close to even or still down and cashing out for $1000 is just getting part of my money back. One time I figured I needed $1800 in chips to get back to even and I cashed out for a little over $1000 without tipping the dealer and I still was $800 down. The problem is most dealers don’t know how much you’re in unless you buy in all the time with the same dealer, which is unlikely because dealers take breaks and you play at different tables.
I agree with the answer that I think the casinos should pay the dealers more and isn’t it illegal to pay less then minimum wage? I heard in one casino the dealers make a little more than minimum wage.
any blackjack dealers outhere? ?
How much crap do you have to take off of the customers? i am a new dealer, who is a very nice person who acutally likes when people are winning, but i get certain customers that say horrible things(like “you suck”, lets get a real dealer over here”" i also have people that signal way before i get to their hand, and when I do, their signals are unclear, and when you question them, they act like im the idiot??? then I was smiling(because i am generally a nice person) and they told me to “wipe that smile off my face” i mean that doesnt necessarily mean that i need to call the floor person over, but man that hurts my feelings! How are you suppose to give good customer service when the whole time you whole table is pissed at you? does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle negative customers?
Craps dealers: Can you place your bet on the line splitting the Big 6 and Big 8?
As in a $10 bet right on the line between the Big 6 and Big 8, meaning a $5 bet on each number. Is it okay to put it right on line in the middle of the two?

Have you ever seen blackjack dealers cheat people in a casino?
I don’t mean dealing the cards from the hard. I mean the way they “color up” a player’s chips. For example, if you won and have a lot of $5 and $25 chips in front of you, it’s common to have the dealer color them up so you’ll have $100 or even $500 chips (or fewer chips) to take to the cashier. In the past, I have seen dealers cheat people by placing an extra chip on top of each stack. Dealers normally have a way to count chips. They stack $5 chips in 5 in each stack for $25 and the green $25 chips in 4 in each stack for $100. But if they stack 6 $5 chips in each $25 stack and 5 $25 chips in each $100 stack, if you are not paying attention and since the chips are so small, you may not notice. Like one time, I seen them color up a player’s green $25 chips as $300 when actually he had $375. Also, another time I just happen to count my chips (all $5 chips) and thought I had $180 when the dealer color them up as $150. I just assumed I miscounted and went on because I saw 6 stacks of reds ($5 chips), but I bet there was an extra chip on top (never thought of looking closer to see if there are 5 chips in each stack).
Also, if a player has several hundred in $5 chips, they’ll stack them in $100 stacks after counting 4 stacks of $25 and I have seen stacks that seem higher than a normal stack of $100 in $5 chips.
Also, when you buy in for $100, I had a couple of times they’ll give me $80 in chips for a $100 buy in and I just happen to count my chips those times.
These incidents were a few years ago and were at a casino in Wisconsin and in Tunica, MS. I’ve never been to Vegas.
I since then made it a point to always count my chips before having them colored up and watch closely as the dealer colors them up. I may have been cheated in the past, but not anymore.
I haven’t had an incident or seen any of this in the last 3-4 years. They may not do it anymore, but I haven’t been in one casino that I’ve seen this in awhile.
I’m just wondering if anybody have seen any of this that I talked about? Or have they tried to cheat you like this? Or do you expect you were cheated once?
If there are any blackjack dealers on here that remember your boss told you to cheat a player like this or any other way, please answer.
I can tell with their and the pit bosses body language that it is not likely a mistake and what if it happens too often. I’ve heard this is more likely to happen in small casinos that don’t have much profit compared to Vegas casinos. It’s true the dealers don’t have anything to gain, but I think they are likely following the orders of their boss and their job is on the line if they don’t do what their boss asks them to do. A lot of dealers need the job.
In blackjack, would you double down on soft 18 against a dealer’s 3-6?
Soft 18 is an Ace+7. Ace can be counted as one or eleven, so it’s impossible to bust a soft hand. I’m in the habit of doubling down on any soft hand against a dealer’s 2-6 with the exception of soft 19 and soft 20. And I only stay on soft 18 if the dealer has an Ace, 2, 7, or 8 up (and sometimes I hit or stay if the dealer has a 9 or 10/face card up). Otherwise, if the dealer has a 3, 4, 5, or 6 up, I usually double down on soft 18 and win if the dealer busts. But recently I was playing 2 hands against the dealer. My normal bet was $30 on each hand because in the casino I was in you have to bet twice the min. of the table and it was a $15 table. On one hand, I had the urge and the chips in front of me (because I was winning) to jump my bet to $150 on each hand. On one hand I had 20 and stayed. One the other hand I had soft 18 and the dealer had a 3 up. I doubled down and pushed another $150 on the bet and caught a face card, which made my hand a hard 18. The dealer didn’t bust, but the dealer made 17. The dealer’s hole card was a 4 and drew another face card. I think that was lucky winning that one.
It seems players in general and dealers think it’s risky doubling down on soft 18. What do you think? That’s following basic strategy as well as my own strategy. I won big last time playing blackjack only.
Would you double down on soft 18 against a dealer’s 3-6 or maybe only 5 or 6?
Patrick: Those doubles on a soft hand is not banking on the fact of making the hand. I’m banking on the dealer busting. I usually don’t care what hand I end up with as long the dealer busts. There have been hands that I actually saved the table by doing it. For example, you say I wouldn’t want to get a 5 when doubling on soft 18, but I wouldn’t want the dealer to get that 5 either if it’ll make their hand (if they have a 6 up and a 10 as the hole card). I’ve had hands when after doubling on soft 18, I’ll end up with 13-16 and the dealer busts, so I won with a bad hand and sometimes it would turn out if I didn’t double down, the dealer would have made their hand.
In Blackjack Basic Strategy what’s the reasoning in standing if a dealer’s up card is a 7 and you have two 9′s
notice that in Blackjack Basic Strategy with the (rules defined as found on this page: )
http://www.blackjackinfo.com/bjbse.php?numdecks=8+decks&soft17=s17&dbl=all&das=yes&surr=ns&peek=yes
that you will split with a dealer’s up card being a 8 or a 9. However you will stand on a 7. Seems counterintuitive.
Explain ” dealer’s insurance” in blackjack? examples please?
INSURANCE. If the dealer’s “up card” is an Ace, you can take insurance. Here you’re betting that the dealer has a Blackjack. You can bet only half your original bet. If the dealer does have a Blackjack, your original bet loses and the insurance is paid two to one. If the dealer doesn’t have a Blackjack, he takes the insurance bet and the game continues.
give me an example. let’s say I originally bet 5 bucks on the hand (before the dealer flipped over his ace)
Basic Blackjack strategy says to hit your 16 against the dealers Ace showing….?
But do the odds and percentages take into account that the dealer has looked at his hole card and it is not a 10? This seems to me to be a very important factor because by not having 21, you now know that he does not have 16 of the cards that will make his hand…I asked this yesterday, but I don’t think the strategy acknowledges that the dealer checks his hole card…..
