At best the store would probably give you a check. I worked at a convenience store for years, didn't get a whole lot of big winners and I can count the number of tips I got (and their TOTAL dollar value) on one hand - the cashier probably won't expect a tip, and you shouldn't feel bad if you don't tip them. It is always smart to play with a bonus when you can, and our recommended casinos are trusted sites where players can feel safe when taking a bonus. Be sure to check out Do You Tip Casino Cashiers the bonus terms and conditions, find out how to claim the bonus on the casino you wish to play at.
I totally agree that dealers should not be tipped.
I usually tip the dealers a buck or two every half hour, which is ok i suppose. They usually thank me. Housekeeping gets 5 bucks the end of my stay. If i exchange over 200 in cash, maybe a dollar for the counter. CWs get a dollar a drink, maybe 2 if im feeling generous.
I'm surprised at how many people say they tip the cashier for mere money transactions. That's one I gave up on several years ago because to me it makes no sense. I don't tip the bank teller, do you?

I do tip the cashier if I am doing something unusual, like markers. If I am placing front money or paying off a marker, it may take a while. For this extra service, I tip.
Think of how many times the bank teller is required to go through hoops for a customer who wants an advance on their credit card, has a problem with their checking account, or just has a time-consuming issue to resolve. It's not just withdrawals and deposits. Yet as poorly paid as these mostly young people are, no one tips them and they don't expect any tips. So why should some low-rent casino cashier be given any tips?

Wow. This is the one area where you DO get a benefit. Its the one area to tip in for sure. They handle my bets, they remind me of things, they resolve disputes, they stay alert when I get fatigued and sloshed. You bet I tip them! Guy who told me I was jet lagged and should leave the dice table got a really good tip. Guy who says 'shooter's our friend' to the dealer who is tapping him out is saying that for the benefit of the dealers but it works to my benefit too ... I don't want them to be enemies when they are calculating payouts.Because it's Las Vegas, not fuckin' Papaya King.
Many casino workers get the majority of their salary from tips. This is the way it is for those employed in the service industry. Most table game players will tip the dealers while they are playing by making a bet for them. Some will just tip their dealer when they leave the game. But what about slot players? Are they expected to tip? How much and to whom?
Slot players usually tip when they receive a hand pay jackpot when the attendant must come and verify the jackpot and then come back and count out your money. If it is a jackpot over $1,200 the attendant will have the tax forms that you will need to fill out before you are paid. There are usually two or three people in attendance during a hand pay. This is for security reasons to make sure the correct amount of money is being paid to the correct person. This often leads to some confusion as to which one you should tip.
You don’t have to tip each one separately. You can give one person a larger bill and tell them to split it. Generally, give the tip to the person who actually paid me the money. There is no set amount for tipping after a jackpot. Many players will tip somewhere between a half to one percent of the jackpot. For a thousand dollar jackpot, this would be between $5 to $10 dollars. When you do receive a hand paid jackpot, they never bring you bills smaller than a twenty. Are they just hoping that in the excitement of the moment you will hand them back a twenty dollar bill regardless of the size of the jackpot? Make sure to carry a couple five and ten dollar bills to handle this situation.
Tipping is a personal choice and your decision to tip anyone should be based on the service you receive. One criterion you can use before tipping for a hand pay jackpot is the amount of time it took to get paid. If the service is prompt, you may be inclined to tip a little more. If, however, you are waiting a long period of time, you may tip less. Take into consideration how busy the casino is at the time of the jackpot. If it is a busy Saturday night, you have to allow for the fact that there may be others ahead of you.
The one person all players should tip it the beverage server. Many casinos offer free drinks to the players. But in some casinos, those drinks are not free for the waiter or waitress. Because their tips are part of their salary some casinos require the waitress or waiter to pay a tax on each drink they order to take out onto the casino floor. If you order a drink and leave before it is delivered or you don’t tip the server you have just cost them money. Many players are not aware of this so the next time you order a free drink, please take care of the person serving you.
