Blackjack dealers depend on tips or tokes
as a big part of their salary. The mechanics of tipping
are easy. We can either push a chip over to the dealer or
we can place a bet for them. The second method is considered
best. We tip by placing a bet in front of our own bet. If
we win the hand, the dealer also wins and they get twice
the amount for a tip. If we lose the hand the tip goes into
the rack along with our bet. However, the dealer will still
appreciated our action and will usually acknowledge it with
a "thanks for the try" type comment. The tipping
method will help change the psychology of the game. It is
now you and the dealer against the house. We should find
the game more enjoyable and maybe even get some helpful
hints from the dealer instead of cold silence.
