How to Tip Craps Dealers

[@forrestcrawley1566]

One of my favorite ways to tip, and one that seems pretty happily accepted that I’ve done is placing $1 hard ways for the dealers. I learned to play the iron cross strategy from you and was playing that and the hard ways for the dealers this one time. I made sure the dealer knew that I would need to be reminded to keep the hard ways on for them. They knew what strategy I was using and helped me keep it going. Once I forgot to place the field bet and a 9 came up. I thought (because it’s a field bet) that I had won. I realized I had forgotten to place my bet and groaned out loud saying “aww man. I forgot to put the field out.” The pot boss told the dealer to pay me anyhow. He said “you’re taking care of my guys, so I’m taking care of you.” I’ve never forgotten that. It was something he didn’t have to do. On a side note, thanks for making these videos. They are entertaining and informative. I enjoy them immensely.

[@ColorUp]

Yep, I found that to be the case. Take care of them, and they will do the same. Thx for sharing good experience

[@mudslidemac9613]

Great story man.

[@colonelpotter]

I had a dealer do the same thing with me

[@Qazxswer68]

This is what I do. I call out piggyback, $1 for me $1 for you. One time 6 hard hit and they wanted to let it ride so we did. What do you know, it hit again. We were good after that :)

[@toddbaker7554]

When I first started playing craps, I would make a bet "for the boys". My wife was with me one of those times. She hit my arm and pointed to the female dealer and said they weren't all boys. The female dealer said she worked hard to become "one of the boys" and didn't mind at all.

[@dennismood7476]

I just say "And a bet/tip for the DEALERS" That covers the biology issue LOL

[@BobBrewster]

Thank you, Jeremy and John. As a craps dealer, a lot of our regulars will toss a buck or two and say, "Dealer's Choice." They want to make a wager for us, but leave it up to us for the decision making. A lot of times when the point is 6 or 8, I'll just tell them, "We'll get on the 6 with you. Thanks for the bet!"... and I'll put the bet in the center of the box for that number. That way we're rooting for them to hit the point, and we both win. Other times, players will just hand us chips, and as John said, it's guaranteed money for the dealers. I appreciate both kind of tips. When the player makes a wager for us, it makes us feel like we're in the game with them, so it's a little more exciting. 😁 Thanks again for the video!

[@ColorUp]

dealers choice, i like that

[@robertmitchell8867]

Nice to hear a dealer give us ideas, I’m new not greedy!

[@serbianh2o623]

Just recently, I ended up rolling a multitude of sixes with pseudo-setting the dice. I ended up placing an extra dollar or two as a pass for the dealer. The boxman and the rest of the dealers were astonished at the number of sixes I rolled and the money they got extra really got them excited. I was pretty sure the boxman examined the dice after I 7'd out.

[@tmasst07]

Profited $435.00 this morning at the Craps table thanks to your training videos. Shooter b4 me was Hot (10 + rolls b4 Big Red arrived). $30 6/8 place bets. Gave the Dealer $3 off the break and started winning field and boxes. Gave all my ones to the dealer on the box wins and they "hooked" me up on my buy bet for the VIG. Pit Boss and Box man was very kind to me... Karma came back 40 min later when I went to BJ and hit 2 back to back huge side bets (over $500) and took care of that dealer too!

[@cowboyvalley]

I've only been to Vegas twice. But we cruise very often. The dealers on the cruise ships always tell me they'd rather "play". So I am always putting money in for them, especially if I'm winning. One of the best things for me about cruising is getting to know the crew. The dealers on the ship are crew too and it just makes the whole game more fun when they see you coming to the table and are happy you're there!

[@kevinp5415]

I think it's hilarious how Jeremy always puts his pass line bets on the P, so I always see ASS. hahaha

[@KentBrooks26]

As a former dealer I applaude this video. It's a good reminder to budget for tips, win or lose.

[@dennismood7476]

I agree...just like a waiter...it's not their fault if your food is not prepared properly as long as the service is good they should get tipped. It's not the dealers fault if you lose.

[@Briancrashmere]

I always tip a little right as I get to the table. Dealers love it and it helps get that positive, fun energy going at the table. From what I've experienced it helps improve your chances of recieving good service too, I always get great service when I tip right off the bat.

[@hulenbryant5637]

If I have a good, friendly dealer, that has a good attitude I will always bet for the dealers, because it makes them part of the game. And good dealers will also keep an eye on your bets - like reminding you to put odds bets down, or remind you if you forgot a bet you normally bet.

[@ColorUp]

They have saved me from missing a winning bet multiple times

[@releksdrood8444]

I love this guy , I remember watching his videos way back when !! Love his attitude and knowledge of the game , has an old timey feel to his explanation , definitely would like some more collaboration with him 👍

[@ColorUp]

We filmed a couple more vids together!

[@RyanSchoofDotCom]

Gotta say that I'm the "toss you the tip at the end of my time at the table" tipper. But my oh my...I never even thought about laying a tip down on the Don't Pass line. That's a unique one that sorta says, " In the end, I got you." I needed this video as there's a going to be a Boys Trip with my dad, brothers, and nephews next month...and I'll be at the craps table the whole time. The right thing to do is to be giving out that tip the correct way. Thank you for this. 😌🙏💯

[@brandonsthaman]

Thanks for this video. It was good to hear a dealer’s point of view - very informative. Brandon from South Carolina

[@ingridmatthews6627]

I put a pass line bet and then odds for the dealer a dollar each for every roll. If im winning I'll place the 6 and 8 as well. They often do quite well and im happy to get that for them. I find it fun to have them play along with me too.

[@matteframe]

I didn't realize how much the dealers depended on tips. I definitely tip when a dealer pays attention to my strategy or answers my dopey questions. But I've wondered why some people seem to tip extravagantly, even when losing. It's good to know they might not expect such a good tip when you're losing. I'll have to figure out my 20% the next time I win... Great topic...

[@dennismood7476]

Just like waiting tables...it's not the waiter's fault if your food doesn't taste good as long as the service IS good..same with dealers...good service you should tip ...it's not their fault if you lose.

[@CEGDealerSchool]

Awesome video. Thanks for looking out the dealers!

[@ColorUp]

I respect the heck out of what ya'll do. Thanks for training the dealers :)

[@Mr007troy]

I really appreciate that you did this video, I teach this a lot in my classes. I will ALWAYS bet a buck for the dealers on the Hard ways, and when I parlay my bet, I know they can't so i bump it up to 5. No better feeling than hitting a hard way/parlay with the dealers! But that's just me. I also tip heavy in the beginning with the cocktail wait staff, you will get awesome service and probably not have to even ask, they just keep bringing them.

[@Wannabeetrucker]

The casinos I've worked at dealers make less than minium . I love craps so I always tell people the better bets they can make and strategies they could try. My prefered tip is place bets as long as the player says we can keep it up we will play it as if we are on a craps game.

[@stevewilson6211]

I appreciate you doing this tipping video as I needed clarification and desperation to tip more often and better And John was a great dealer to have on the show also

[@jtknapp3261]

I didn't know you could ask the dealers what bets they prefer, more knowledge gained from Color Up! I usually make a $1 pass line dealer bet early on, then put one out every hand or two and maybe add some odds if I'm doing well, then tip out when I leave.

[@JaredJanhsen]

I got up pretty well last night (thanks to this channel) at a table and kept putting "Crew on the line", got them some pretty good tip money. They were very thankful for the bets.

[@liudizzle]

I love craps and I love my craps dealers, I’ll tip every which way - pass line with odds, hard ways, box numbers across, bonuses, and they will very quickly become your best ally

[@djscottyc]

Great PSA. Many dealers across the world thank you. You will definitely gain an advantage over the non tippers as a bonus, you will get more pull with the dealers and the box man. They will look after you and will aid you and you will definitely receive more attention when booking bets and getting paid. It’s all situational, most dealers will be grateful, but some burnt out dealers won’t care and I recommend finding a crew that you mesh with. Win or lose, I guarantee you will have at least enjoyed yourself a bit more.

[@ColorUp]

Good additional benefits you list. Thanks!

[@birddog301em]

Great video. Something I’ve been doing lately is $4 inside for the dealers 5,6,8,9. If it hits for them I throw another one right back out there. Then when I walk away from the table I always drop something for them. If I’m down it’s all the singles and if I’m up it’s a red with singles. That’s how I’ve been tipping.

[@ColorUp]

sounds good, i like the inside bet

[@OneTon677]

I tip a lot... usually everytime I roll I play a pass line bet for the dealer and will put shoes on it.. other than that I tip at the end with a few ones I have left. .. I agree on having an active, cheerful dealer for tips though.. its mind numbingly horrible to lose my money with boring dealers.. I can lose and have fun and walk away satisfied, just want the social fun.. Great video, lots of useful information..

[@runtoeat]

You are right. I try to engage the dealers early, especially on an empty or quiet table. I will not tip if the dealers don't acknowledge me or my play, or talk amongst themselves about working conditions or fishing trips. If I tip, it's usually odds on my bets.

[@dennismood7476]

I always tip dealers...ESPECIALLY the craps guys. They do a good job (it's a tough job working the craps table) and they really take care of me concerning my bets and watching what I do and helping me when I ask.

[@golls17]

I love these videos with you guys together. They stand alone without video and are great as a podcast idea. I've listened to a few of these without the video and they are great.

[@ColorUp]

Hmmm, interesting idea, thx for feedback

[@taino1642]

Ohhh man, i thought the craps table made great money. i was under the impression that they were the highest payed in the casino. all that mental labor. i will alter my tipping accordingly.

[@dennismood7476]

Two years ago Linda and I took a cruise around the British Isles. The casino dealers were just terrific!!! They constantly watched what I was betting and helped me to make a better bet that was more advantageous to me. I had done really well in the casino on this particular trip and on the last night of the cruise , after I cashed out, I went back in and bought $50 worth of chips and gave it to the dealers telling them how much I appreciated the work they did. They were VERY expressive abut me doing this and I was glad I did.

[@ColorUp]

Good dealers really make the game experience

[@lindabeal5353]

EVERYTIME I PLAY CRAPS THE FIRST THING I DO IS: I PUT $25.00 ON THE TABLE AS A TIP, AND LATER I PUT MY $15 ON PASS THE LINE. I LOVE THE REACTION OF THE PEOPLE (DEALERS) WORKING THERE AT THE TABLE. I HAVE MY OWN BUSINESSES AND I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IS TO TIP THESE PEOPLE.

[@jimklemens5018]

Why do you have the CAPS LOCK turned on?

[@1122reyes]

stop yelling…

[@frostspawn6718]

OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I've started going to a casino on a once of month basis instead of once a year and I really needed this information!

[@ColorUp]

Glad it was helpful

[@tyronepowers76]

Thanks for the added info on tipping. Personally, I’ll usually drop a $1 line or hardway or put a hand in on a bigger win. If they have it, the $3 ATS is one I will also drop for the dealers.

[@liljoe7171]

If ther is a godfather of craps videos, its John....his stuff is great!! Glad he's makin the rounds again! He is the best...

[@ColorUp]

Haha, godfather of craps videos, very suitable title

[@Dicejake7]

I play the pass line and I put the dealers on the line for a dollar any time a point is hit or I'll put them on the line right away if I'm shooting. Just know that when other people see someone else tip, they are more likely to too. Sometimes your 1 dollar tip might yield another 2 or 3 dollars of tips from other players.

[@ColorUp]

See a tip, make a tip, haha love it

[@carpetcowboy58]

I've started a rash of toke bets many times. It's like "Oh sure, this is a good crew. They deserve a little something."

[@alfredomacias3208]

Thanks for the heads up! I played very little my 1st time in vegas. But I'm ready to conquer the craps table now that's to your help! Especially wont look like a noob cause the tip

[@MellowToaster]

I enjoy tipping them throughout the game and once I feel like I have almost tipped them enough I'll tip them by getting them in the game. Most dealers I have done that with seem to enjoy it.

[@denirn8725]

Wow! What a fantastic video! Haven’t seen ANY OTHERS about good Dealer tipping that covered it so well. Thanks to both of you!

[@michaelvitale4029]

These videos are great. I grew up in NJ, and I may have been to AC twice. It’s very intimidating. Everyone seems to have more money and is more expert at the games. Watching these videos is very helpful in making me feel a bit more comfortable and less of a goober 😁 Now I wanna go to a casino. Wish me luck 🤞💰

[@josephmerlan8126]

My favorite way to tip is the come and if it goes to the point I will lay max odds 3 4 5 dollars respectively

[@dennismood7476]

I usually tip When I get my chips. I take a red and tell them "it's for you guys just in case I go broke by the end". I also tip a few whites or a red as I win.

[@andrewcarr2431]

good method and they know you are going to be a good tipper regardless of how the game is going

[@OneOfDaKine82]

Great to hear from you John. Hope the best for you

[@cnasty333]

No matter how I do on a night I always tip thw dealers and servers. They work hard to give us players a good time and their work should be shown appreciation.

[@ColorUp]

Truth

[@cjenterprize]

Informative video. I usually give a percentage 5-10% of my wins before I cash out. (Ex. +$250= $25 tip) And when I lose, $5 tip is good enough.

[@ColorUp]

sounds good

[@trucker60ohio65]

Needed yo to complete ATS so I bet “yo 2 ways”. Someone heard me say that so they get it and so on until the whole table bet yo 2ways. Lol. It hit. Dealers were high fiving along with everyone else. They had over $100 on it from all our individual bets. Good times.

[@ArronwithtwoRs]

I always tip as I play. Some I throw in the box, some I bet. But I only tip at the end if I win. Bonus: I'm well taken care of because of it

[@Tmanaz480]

I especially liked the last part. I've always wondered what happens to the tips after they're collected.

[@seansieloff1688]

Thank you guys for this video i grew up on the tips my mom made from dealing black jack

[@renshawjoshua]

I always toke my pass line bet (don’t forget that if you put shoes on your pass line; you need to put little booties on the dealer’s bet 😂) The other bet I love to make is 3-way Yo whenever a new shooter is coming out (me, the boys, and the shooter). And yes I realize the EV on such a wager is horrible. If I am the shooter and the point is possible hard (4,6,8,10); I will take that number hard 2-ways. One correct on the video: The dealer can press their winnings; but you can’t notify them to press their wager after the win like you would on your bet. You have to announce you are requesting “Player Control” on the dealer bet prior to the roll.

[@gc5665]

I've always viewed this as a service based game and threw in "for the boys", "dealer on the line" or "2 ways" throughout my stay at the table. If a dealer is a bump on a log w/ zero personality, then my thinking is if he/she is that out of touch with a customer, than works both ways and no tip. If a dealer makes the effort to see my game play style after a couple passes, where I don't have to keep repeating my bets and they already know where I want my bets when I drop my chips then I make it a point to be sure to tip out generously when I color up to leave the table after I'm done playing.

[@johnshermangamble]

I am typically a pass line player with odds My favorite way to tip is to put a bet on the hardways for the dealers when the point is 4,6,8 or 10

[@jonbender1044]

Same.

[@sarry419]

Long read ahead Tipping is something I see almost no one besides my own family do. My general tipping comes with a don't line bet for dealers, at table minimum, that anyone can put odds on; yes that's right a dealer's line bet can have odds come from anyone. I will add odds when I win other bets. I usually have a timer going on my watch so I do it 1-2 times a dealer shift. I do announce every dealer bet I make on craps and I put those bets (if self-service) in areas where it is very clear that its a dealer bet like directly on the 9 in the field. If I am place betting ; (normally Iron cross) I siphon a dollar off every 1-3 wins (depending on attitude and helpfulness) then the dealer gets it after the roll. If the dealer wants to play it they don't get the siphon during that. These bets are piggybacked so they can continue to reap the rewards of the bet and not just once. When I leave if I am losing I leave all my chips for the dealers. If I am winning, its all whites and up to 2 reds on a color up. These tips are separate from the cocktail waitress which just get tipped when I order a drink.

[@jerryp6672]

Great video! I still can not believe that the dealers only make minimum wage. A lot of players out there think a big casino people getting paid big hourly rate. Thanks again for information. I know I’ll be tipping more next time.

[@buckobanko4542]

I normally tip as I'm winning to make sure that particular dealer receives it and of course the cocktail waitresses. : ) This video has been very enlightening, especially about the minimum wage. I'll now make sure to tip even if things aren't going so well.

[@itguy19]

Great video. I am going to play craps for the first time this weekend and this video is very helpful. I am also going to try out your "How to Win at Craps with Little Money Again" strategy so now I am ready to try this out. Thank you very much, I now feel less intimidated to try.

[@ColorUp]

Awesome...you may be a little nervous at the table, but don't worry, you will be fine, and the dealers will help you out if needed. Have fun, and good luck on coloring up!

[@robertmitchell8867]

Thanks for this video! I’m still a new player and that question has bothered me for awhile. I definitely owe the dealer a few bucks!

[@ColorUp]

Nah, you don't owe them anything, but I feel like it is the right thing to do. Tip as you are comfortable.

[@banana403]

Think of it this way: dealers aren't rooting for you to lose because broke/losing players don't tip, so treat them accordingly. They're not out to get you.

[@ColorUp]

I always find that funny when people talk about conspiracy how dealers try to get them to lose. They make minimum wage plus tips, they want you to be happy and tip.

[@lindafoxwood78]

Great video. I have always thought about this, but was nice to hear this from a stickman/dealer. One time I thought about a FireBet and how the last 2 times: the casino brought in the Bank changers. Bam. I set up my Firebet with a Dealers bet of $5 and ask them to keep it quiet? There was zero yelling as we won the 5th different of 12 Pass/wins. 1hour 45 mins was a great day.

[@lindafoxwood78]

Thanks for the video. At the casino I was talking about: the FireBet thing. Every Time someone got to the 4th win of the FireBet, the casino would call in the "Parade" / "Circus" to disrupt the table and shooter. They always brought in the Bank Box and the radio phone: "We have a FireBet here - We need a Bank" . What I was saying, I understood this and "TIPPED" the dealers for a FireBet and begged them to keep our table quiet. I mean, if the crew wanted an extra $125 or more tips on a FireBet win, they should help me win too. :)

[@nicchauvin1096]

I'm glad you made this. I had no idea you were allowed to tip the table. I knew they were being watched, so I thought it would be suspicious.

[@ColorUp]

You can, it’s it’s appreciated

[@jake5235]

I was doing an Iron where I regress after a certain number of hits with any numbers. I was one of 4 people at the table. I actually got pretty hot and after 2 point hits the dealer knew my exact pattern. I ended up with a $54 profit for the night and left the "extra" $4 for him. Now I think i should've sprinkled more in throughout the night or tipped more. I tend to scale my tip based on winnings but also reserve some if I'm losing. Thanks for the new perspective!

[@billr7096]

Like your vids. When I started playing I had no idea that people tip dealers because I never saw it. Anyway another channel called ceg dealer school (they gave u a shout out on one vid) answered this as well. Most casinos pool the tips. One advantage is u r in on the high roller table tips. Your videos r great. I am a good shooter with dice setting. I needed a way to bet while waiting for the dice to get back to me. 1st rule of any dice setter is not to bet on random shooters they will kill u. But I run some of these strategies based on what I c happening at the table. Thank you for the info!!!!

[@thekid2003]

Nice video. I don't bet the hard ways often but when I do, it is only when it is the point and I always bet it 2 ways. My favorite way to tip to a 1 dollar pass line bet and then put full odds on it. I the casino I play it is a 3,4,5 odds so they really appreciate that bet when it wins. Much better bet than the 2 way hard way. Also, tipping even a buck or 2 will frequently get others players at the table starting to tip. Keep up the great videos!!

[@yo-levenedbread5354]

This video was very helpful for the "how". For the "how much", I'd say it depends on your bets. If you're get betting $5 on the pass line, a $1 toke is 20%. But if you're playing a $25 table, having the house play with you for the same $1 is only 4%. I'm not saying always put out 20%, but it should be somewhat relative to your bankroll or bets. If you can't afford to give an extra $5 to the house, you probably shouldn't be playing a $25 table in the first place.

[@1nst_Classic]

Great video, I like the 6 dollars across people are talking about, usually I’ll do a 2 way hard way player control. Parlay it twice. And I’ll add to my odds for them.

[@chYnaRIP]

He is wrong on place bets. It could certainly be that every house is different, but I've played all over, and when I place inside bets I just put an extra dollar on each one for the crew, and I always tell them to press $1 and keep the rest. They place their bets right, middle edge of the square. I've never had an issue with that. I also love throwing the stick guy $6 on the come out, and telling them "2 way horn high you pick". I'm a poker dealer. I like to think that I tip pretty generously. A lot of players need to realize that tipping goes a long way just like you both mentioned in this video. The crew always looks out for me. There's even times where I didn't book action, and the box man knows I've been on then bet every time, and they've paid me. Bottom line when you take care of them, they take care of you.

[@mudslidemac9613]

Just wanted to say that this video is great info. More craps video folks, myself included need to do more to promote token the dealers. My next video is going to refer to this one and I think I will start making it a point to include bets for the dealers in videos going forward. All the best dude. Stay Frosty ☃️

[@ColorUp]

Thanks, it’s a needed topic

[@grunkhouse]

I ALWAYS tip the dealer! they are there to keep you straight. Most people think the dealer is working against them, NO, they are keeping the game straight & moving. The dealer is just like the bartender and your server. I always tip the waitress/bartender a couple bucks for each drink why not the guy who is working hard keeping my money straight! They are your most valuable asset at the table. plus you can get your drink on and they help you keep it together while you play! Most of them are fun to talk with as well!

[@4rah46]

Usually put a side bet for the dealers after a big press, I like having them cheering that kind of win

[@martinleithe8251]

I like the idea of betting on the same bet that I do for myself for the dealer aswell. I want us to win together, but also lose together. 7's out kills us both! We ride together we die together. :D

[@GeorgeWashingtonGaming1]

very funny, remembering one time when i was playing conservatively on a cold table- $44 inside after point was set, as soon as 1 number hit i'd pull all my bet numbers down (leaving my don't pass bet with odds) the base dealer was getting upset for doing work off the first roll and just looking at me weirdly with a stank eye and kind of pretending to not hear me at first so i ended up not tipping him, base dealers switched out and this one was super awesome and didnt complain at all or anything, i was the only one winning at the table with everyone else playing pass line and losing after the first number (max rolls i saw in an hour was 4) and i'd throw the guy my $1's or id throw them on the hardways or the any 7 bet for the dealer and the stank eye dealer came back to see me tipping this guy and he wasnt happy but hey, dont get mad at someone for playing the table state. have a good attitude, and who knows you can probably get some decent tips

[@ColorUp]

Love this

[@masterslacker]

Thanks for the video. I usually tip $6 across a few times during the session. I also usually just split my $1s at the color up. I was working the dealers pretty hard with lots of movement/action/different strats so even though I was down a little I just dumped them my entire $1 stack which happened to be $28. I hadn't even counted it as part of my winnings/lose for the session so why not, right.

[@DuggleBogey]

I tipped an All bet for the dealers and hit it twice in one roll. Dealers seemed happy with the $260 tip 😀

[@mvondrak]

If your a hard way or a prop player throwing a buck or two “piggybacking” your bet is always appreciated. It’s a $1 bet that could turn into $7, $9 or even $30 if done right

[@andrewcarr2431]

Great video with real world advice. Everyone is an employee unless you own the casino. And those working minimum wage appreciate your gratuity. The concept of tipping started in English taverns “to insure promptitude” or TIP. Thus the whales/vip's would get better service although method did not travel well to America as it highlighted a class system (which most countries have regardless of what they say) and in some instances they brought slavery into the debate! In bartendering the change used to go into a tip glass and when it got to a certain amount the patron would receive their next drink "on the house". But good bartenders do more than mix your drink or uncork a bottle, they keep the bar clean, tidy and well stocked. They give advice on drinks (and life if you ask them). In a Casino environment, ladies walk around in heels for 8+ hours a day, least you can do it give them a couple a bucks a round, same with dealers. No fun standing at a table "taking" your hard earned money every hand, and they have to give advice, make change, watch their work area But if it is an exciting table, with plenty dialogue, make sure the staff know they did a good job by tipping them. You help them out, they will help you too.

[@adamant365]

I try my best to always read the people providing a service to me. People have bad days and I try to take that into account when I tip. I don’t necessarily tip based on my experience, but on theirs. Sounds backwards, but think of it like this: you’re the one fortunate enough to be at the casino (or restaurant, or whatever) and if the dealer (server, etc) is clearly trying hard to make you happy, a couple dollar tip may make their day a little better and pass that on to others. Point is, tip the dealer. Tip your server.

[@richardray5297]

I had no idea you’re supposed to tip the dealer on craps I’ve never seen no one to do it and I have never done it, but I will now

[@ColorUp]

Not supposed to, but they are in service industry and that’s how they make their living. It’s sad to hear you’ve never seen anyone tip. They will appreciate you!

[@lunarwrase]

Much appreciated guys.

[@chetherron9566]

I started tipping as I go, instead of waiting until the end. Sometimes they make more than me...lol

[@robs531]

Not to sound like a jerk but in the 13 years I’ve spent working in the casino the guy that tells me he’s waiting until the end ends up either not tipping or tipping low for the service provided. That said if your dealer is a statue and gives you that Ivan Drago feeling “I will break you” tip accordingly.

I’m rarely at the table more than an hour hour. Even if I lose my bankroll, I pull a 20 out of my pocket and put it on the table. I’ve had my share of good and bad dealers.

[@dovetailentertainment]

Awesome vid! Thanks a ton, @ColorUp! 👏😎

[@go.gators]

This is one of the most enjoyable videos I've ever watched. I'm a player not a dealer. But next time I go ...I'm going to have a lot more fun.... I'm going to put the dealers with me on every 6 and 8... press it for them.... And hopefully when they get home at the end of the night.... they're going to be going.. hell yeah.

[@bobjeffrey8863]

LOVE all the advice,, thanks,,,

[@Saxysaboy77]

I always tip on the Field. Easy one time bet for the dealer and no pressure to add odds for them. At the end, if I did ok, I’ll throw in a chip to the dealers not to be bet.

[@shanef.8410]

I see the place bets for dealers be placed along the center line between the numbers. This is to identify dealer bets in Illinois and Missouri otherwise the commission calls it out as under minimum table limit

[@ColorUp]

yeah, I've seen that too

[@a.c.6426]

Great vid bud.. Cheers from Canada!

[@107glen]

The secret: when you get your chips play all the hard ways first for the dealers. Don’t bet nothing for yourself till the next session I’ve been noticing they like that and it shows you think about others first.

[@nightone9720]

Love your videos man! Great tips and advice.

[@ColorUp]

Thanks!

[@jamesecarson5631]

tipping is completely optional and personal. What determines the situation for me is whether or not the dealer hands off come bets to me or leaves the winnings in the come box for me to have to reach myself every roll of the dice. I find younger dealers especially offensive in this way, especially younger asian female dealers. I bet 132/136/137 across after the come out, full odds behind and a 10 come bet. On each number rolled I am down with full odds on that number and a fresh $10 coming. If a dealer is too dense to eventually understand this pattern, there is no tipping. If I am making money and the dealer acts professionally, I will bet $5 on a number for the dealers, but I control the bet. If the number hits, the winnings go into the box, but the bet stays up and I put another $5 on a different number. If I get all the numbers eventually covered for the dealers, I will let them decide whether to press their action or keep the bet at $5. It is the most fun and the dealers enjoy the action.

[@ColorUp]

You are right, it’s personal and optional. I like your approach.

[@carpetcowboy58]

Lately I've been doing more dark side playing, so I tip at the color up (sometimes covering the hardways for them on the next shooter). If I play the pass line, I'll put a buck along side and when we get a point, I'll back it with full odds. Even we can't play the house more straight up than that. And those times when I've had my ass handed to me I'll take the last $10 or less, rap it on the table and tell them "The house ain't getting all of it".

[@ColorUp]

House aint getting all of it - love that!

[@youngbucksbbq7819]

This was extremely helpful!! Thank you

[@ColorUp]

Good

[@mbernier59]

Great page!

[@ltltaz73]

Not too long ago I was laughed at by the dealer cause I called for a 3-1, I said it'll be a 3-1. He just shook his head so I played a 3-1 for the crew, and bang!!!! It hit. Not too many days after that I played a few small bets for the crew as well but later on I played a two way ten hop, we hit the hard ten and they got a $29 jump.

[@ColorUp]

lot of fun when they hit

[@fortunehunter7372]

I only play pass line when I shoot. When I do I always put out socks and shoes for the dealers.

[@johnmc6979]

I like to tip beside my pass line bet and or field bets. I agree that most players don't tip at all. Sad really since dealers math skills have to be sharp for the entire shift. I also watch to see if players do not tip the cocktail waitress and I tell her that I saw she got stiffed by a player and give her an extra tip from me. They seem to really appreciate this gesture. BROWNS FAN

[@ColorUp]

Go browns! That’s really cool you looking out for waitress like that. I need to start doing that.

[@garyjaramillo3196]

What's the minimum on a dealer bet? If the table is 15$ do I have to bet 15 for them also or is it what ever I want even 1 dollar?

[@ColorUp]

whatever you want, $1 is fine, no minimum

[@thomaspreston3618]

when I am just playing just place 6 and 8, and when point is made and the next point is a 6 or 8, i will turn that point money into a two-way hard.

[@BrianD0313]

I think what the casinos should do is pool the tips based on games. I myself am a Roulette and Craps players and I know Craps people tend to jump from table to table looking for what is hot. So if I am tipping, then 90% of my tips are to Craps tables so the Craps Dealers as a whole should get the split. I wouldn't want that tip to go to Black Jack dealers, Poker dealers, etc because they didn't influence my tip.

[@yourcompanysucks9256]

Going to win at another casino tomorrow! “House always wins?” .. uh huh yea right! 12 winning sessions out of 15 is not a fluke!! Sincerely, Consistent Winner

[@ColorUp]

Thats great, i wish you continued success and good luck

[@yourcompanysucks9256]

Color Up Thanks! I got their money again! Casinos can’t stop me from winning!! 4 out of 5 winning sessions in July!!

[@ihavehotmail2]

your company sucks what strategy?

[@breyboy2004]

Thank you I always wanted to know how to do this

[@caspermaan]

Great video, I'm not the most seasoned craps player but I love the atmosphere of the table whenever someone's on a roll and it's just a lot of fun. Now, I might've missed this, but you talked about betting on the pass line for the dealers, do you also bet odds in case you get a point? Is that normal/allowed? I've never betted on behalf of the dealers before, only given them chips whenever I was winning so I kinda wanna try that.

[@ColorUp]

Absolutely, they would really appreciate it if you added odds behind a pass line bet for them.

[@caspermaan]

@@ColorUp Great! Thanks for clearing that up. Brilliant work you've done. Looking forward to more videos.

[@ColorUp]

@@caspermaan Thanks. So personally I've started making place bets for the dealers on the inside numbers 5689, lot of ways for them to win with only $4

[@carlcolvin8320]

This was pretty good info, thanks

[@jimaperkins]

Do you typically only tip the craps dealer? What about the stick man, or box man?

[@ColorUp]

Usually the table workders all pool the tips, and even more common, the whole shift of table games pool the tips. So its a rare casino that you can tip a specific person.
