EP2 Slot Talk - Casino Tipping and Factoring It Into Your Budget

[@WesleyWalrus]

Handpays - normally $15-40 depending on size. Cocktails - $5 first time and $1-2 each after Servers - 15-20% depending on service/cost of meal Housekeeping - normally decline service but $5/day if I request it

[@Dianaevoni]

I found it interesting that a "celebrity" tipped a quarter. Like Joseph I wonder if there is a story there or the person just always tips a quarter. Another great slot talk. Miss you both!

[@josephduffy2331]

Older famous chef.

[@donnafaldyn777]

Another great, informative episode! I’d say you both are more than generous tippers! On jackpots up to $2k, I tip $20 straight up. Jackpots over 2k, 1% of the jackpot amount, and more if the jackpot is sizeable. Thank you for addressing who gets the tip when there are two persons-I’ll definitely ask next time and split it if necessary. I stopped tipping housekeepers when COVID stopped daily room service. Until the Louisiana casinos begin daily room service again will I go back to tipping. And slipping a $20 bill to the front desk person never worked for us, so we don’t do that anymore. I give $1 per drink to beverage servers whether I order an alcoholic beverage or a bottle of water. Looking forward to more of these episodes!!! ❤

[@qjsmith7]

Great video, I fly southwest a lot and the last time the Flight attendant had attitude so I won’t even be speaking to them in the future but I’ll be polite

[@josephduffy2331]

Haha. I've had a few of those. Don't blame them all for one rude person. I find most nice. No Starbucks for them!!!😂

Thank you I’m from us and are planning a trip thanks for the advice you are both great x

This was one I was waiting to watch! In 20 years I have never had a payout😢 but was very curious about tipping for payouts. Thanks for the helpful info!

[@laurabower1304]

I have been going to a casino for about 113 years. I'm in the know with all the tips except the jackpots. I tip at least 100$ on a 1200$. The one and ONLY time I won over 23k$, I tipped 1000.00$ I guess I have been giving too much. But ya know what I say.....give, it always comes back to you one way or another. Live thus Tuesday chat!❤

[@laurabower1304]

13 years not 113 years! Not that old yet, but working on it!

[@josephduffy2331]

Ugh. Yes a bit much! You can tip me. Lol😅

[@oldladyluck]

Absolutely 💯

[@Mojito25]

I was waiting for this topic and it was a great conversation. Before I watched utubers I had know idea to tip the slot attendants, but since I always tip on jackpots (unfortunately don’t get jackpots often🤷‍♀️)…I never really knew the percentage though, so I definitely appreciated this episode and the comments on what others do. Love these new Tuesday’s!❤

[@PamelaRobison]

At our closest casino, we always bring Krispy Kreme donuts, Panera, and little food gifts and leave them at the front desk and casino hosts office. I always have a bunch of fives to tip restroom staff, the staff thar clean off the machines and remove the garbage. Also, the sweet older gentleman that delivers our bags to our room! We also give tips directly to the maids when we ask for extra towels, coffee , etc. Tip jars if service and kindness are present! I look for the hidden service people, and now you have given me more ideas! When the host asks if we want a meal at the fancy restaurant, we ask for the sports bar or less expensive restaurant. The food and service have always been better there! Thank you for this platform!

[@oldladyluck]

Agreed 👍

[@josephduffy2331]

@PamelaRobison wow. Food gifts is a great idea. Especially for the holidays. Thank you for sharing this.

[@mizjesster9727]

For me, gift cards for my hosts. 20% for food, whether buffet or restaurant more if the service warrants it. Beverages at the machine, a buck at least, sometimes more. Hand pays a flat percentage, based on winning amount. And don’t forget the rest room and those poor folks cleaning at and around the slots! They make very little, breathe smoke all day or night and you’ve seen the worst of what they have to clean up, thank them bless them and TIP them , generally they’re shocked by this and it hurts my heart. Great topic again Joseph!

[@josephduffy2331]

Thank you for mentioning gift cards. Great idea. ❤

[@JazzyJSlots]

Great information! There were some things that I wasn't aware of! Thanks for sharing!👍👍👍

[@Sbart1125]

I absolutely love this! Great insight on who to tip. I do always tip the drink servers $5 per drink. They run their selves to death on the floor.

[@MimiM277]

Hi guys, I enjoyed today’s topic! I never thought about tipping at the hotel check-in and I usually would tip one person when I got a hand pay. Next time I’ll ask them if they pool their tips. Very informative, thanks!❤

[@soprano22564]

Thanks for this info. Good to know if have been typing correctly lol. I've done a bit more lol but never too little

[@dmcg7247]

My theory, and I've never hit a handpay, is casinos pay the people that touch cash pretty well. If i happen to win i would not tip them for bringing it to me. They ain't tipping me when i lose. And points are an advertisement to get me to spend more so rewards do not count.

[@Boomslots]

You guys are so funny! Love it

[@josephduffy2331]

[@kerryh2388]

What maes me real sad is how much these casinos charge for staying on their presmises and they don't pay their employees enough that they have to depend on tips. So much greed in this country it is disgusting.

[@josephduffy2331]

I agree. I think the top two companies are the absolute worst.

[@michelletrevino443]

Joseph thank you for that important information about tipping slot attendants. I only tipped the one giving me the money . Know I know to tip the security guard also . Very useful information. Thank you !

[@josephduffy2331]

Break up the tip. If I'm giving 20, I'm splitting it now.

[@runningoneddie]

All solid advice on tipping Josh and Joseph. Never heard of tipping airline attendants before. I imagine if they made me a mixed drink or something, but just handing me a can of soda? No. My tipping on handpays pretty much aligns with Josh's. I hit a $2300 one and I gave the guy like $30. For the buffet: I am usually comped at my local, so I tip about $10 a person. At the cafe, I eat for free, so generally 30% of the bill. Cocktail server: $1 - $3, depending if I know them. I only drink soda / water, so my orders aren't that complicated. For the ticket writers in the sports book, I usually tip a few bucks for every trip there but it amounts to somewhere around 1% of my total that I am betting. Also, I'll hand out a little extra to workers I know during the holiday season. I also will leave a few bucks each night for the people that clean and maintain my room.

Hi Joseph and Josh. Thanks for an interesting topic.

I tip the attendant when I get a handpay. Also, when I am winning small amounts here and there. When I find myself on the positive side of money, I tend to pay it forward to people I know and don't know.

I need to figure how much to tip for a handpay. I’ve been at Caesar’s New Orleans and sometimes the person that pays you , is not the same as the person that gets your information. There may be 3-4 different people for 1 handpay. Most of the time I can only tip once they pay me😂

[@josephduffy2331]

Haha. Me too. At Ceasars they all split at the end of like 2 weeks. So they told me

[@lynnmack2208]

I went to L’auberge in Lake Charles with a friend a few years ago. I used Valet and tipped him-she mentioned she never tips them. 🙄 When ordering drinks, she never tipped. 🙄 Last time I will ever go to a casino with her again.

Hi Joseph and josh that’s a great topic. I am from New York I do have comp rooms but they usually charge me the tax and resort fees and they even charge me for early check in plus parking fees

[@josephduffy2331]

The fees are killing us. I often feel like the fees will be the end to a lot of us visiting vegas

[@sweetkandee1582]

I never thought about whether the person bringing the hand pay pools their tips…but as we know there is always more than one person there when they count out that money…now I feel bad if I was supposed to split the tip up…

I do $5 for cocktail, $3 for soda and $2 for water

This is great! Tipping is getting out of control in some cases, my opinion only!

I agree. Especially tipping those kiosk for food.

[@sanbal9]

In addition to the circumstances you covered, we also tip wheelchair people as we are in our 80s and very much need them. $10 per person x 4 chairs needed - $80. Sometimes more if they have to wait for a while till our luggage comes out.

[@josephduffy2331]

Man, I never thought of that. Great tip

[@rondarichardson1680]

Thank you for all the helpful tips about tips! I still prefer to go to Vegas over my locals. Main reason is I can play table games with $5 minimums. My local in Louisiana was $5 before Covid, went to $15 when reopening after Covid and never looked back.

I know they all went up and some are now 20.00. Kills the local players

[@DonnaK-o6i]

[@noraleach4729]

Idk. I won a $10,500 jackpot last year and gave the young slot attendant a $200 tip. She didn’t even acknowledge it like it was nothing special. I usually tip $60 on $1200-$2500 handpay but I’m starting to think that is too much. Usually 2 people come out and I end up tipping both, but here lately the one will hand their tip money to the other one. Something must have changed with that tipping in MS and they have to combine it now.

[@josephduffy2331]

You're a good tipper!!

[@jackies2756]

When tipping the maid service...i tip each day because you don't always have the same person doing your room. If you pay at the end of your stay the person may have just started they work week...you just don't know.. so i tip each day.

tipping has become very confusing as to where you are at, for example there are states where servers make $2-3.per hour plus tips in order to make at least min wage. there are also states where the servers are making min wage plus tips! do you think tipping should be mandatory if the server is already making $25-30 per hour?

Most of the time, a thoughtful gift is just fine! But, for a Vegas trip, we usually engage with our host more than usual and therefore we always tip
