It’s not a set amount, and while some suggest a percentage of the big win, that’s rather absurd as the gratuity could be outragious.įor example, just a 2% tip on $1.1 million would be $22,000. The answer is a trap, of course, as there’s no amount that’s going to satisfy everyone. We’d love to hear that’s what happened with our $1.1 million winner! We’ll wait.Īt this juncture, we usually get the question, “So, what’s the appropriate amount to tip?” It’s perfectly acceptable to come back hours or even days later to tip the crew.
That’s the only excuse that even marginally works here, and it should be noted there’s no time limit on tipping. In the defense of the clueless, it’s true large jackpot winners don’t get their winnings in cash. “These people already make a lot of money.”ĩ. “They didn’t tip me when I was losing.”Ħ. This inspired a listicle on our podcast, which we’re going to share again for posterity. Many (sadly, most) of the people who responded to our Tweet rationalized the $200 tip, with many saying they’d have tipped nothing. The responses to the Tweet were, how do we put this diplomatically, wide-ranging. We recently shared on Twitter that another winner, at Circa Las Vegas, tipped $200 on a $120,000-plus jackpot. The subject of tipping, or not, on large jackpots has sparked some lively debates in social media. Fun fact: As a nod to its history, Golden Nugget uses a camera from 1946, the year the casino opened. Yes, it’s aįundamentally flawed system, blah, blah, blah, but it’s the system we’ve got. How Las Vegas works is many casino employees rely on tips for their livelihoods. We also hear the player’s wife won $5,000 on the winning hand (known as an “Envy” bet in Crazy 4 Poker) and tipped zero. One source said the player is a Las Vegas local, so they should “know how this works.” To which we tend to respond, “Oy,” or something similarly clever. Golden Nugget employees and others (who wished to remain anonymous) shared word of the painfully small $200 tip.Ĭue the asshats chiming in with, “At least he left them something!” Took a few years, but this sucker finally paid off. The player won $1.1 million on the Crazy 4 Poker progressive. It’s a too-familiar story, but a million-dollar-plus jackpot winner at Golden Nugget is rumored to have left a $200 tip.
