Tipping Your Craps Dealer

Hi, Frank:

When tipping the dealers on the craps table, which bet do they prefer you make for them?

Thanks,
Brian

Dear Brian:

The best tip is the best bet! So put a chip next to your Pass Line bet because the dealers have a much better chance to win this bet than any other bet in the game. You can also put it on top of your Pass Line bet and tell the dealers that the top chip is for them. This way you can win two, three or more bets for them in a row if a shooter gets hot. If you tip to the side the house usually takes the win and the original tip. You can also tell the boxman that you control all tips, which means they won't take down the bet unless you allow them to.

I am a strong advocate of tipping good dealers. So who is a good dealer? Two qualities shine brightly - professionalism and friendliness. Those two ingredients make the game more pleasurable for the players and the dealers should be rewarded for them. I am a tipper.

By the way, if I am at a table with disagreeable dealers or box people or floor personnel, I leave and go to a different casino.

I am giving you a free one-month subscription to my private web site at www.goldentouchcraps.com. That's a nice tip for you!

All the best in and out of the casinos!
