BIGGEST RIO DREAMS JACKPOT in YouTube history!!!! While playing Rio Dreams at Wynn Las Vegas we hit a 4 jewel bonus game and a few re-triggers after.#SlotM. The $1200 limit is for 'winnings' (actually a single win pay out, hence the 'hand pay' necessity), not cash outs over that amount. And this applies only to 'machines', table games and sports books are a whole.

So I got a small hand pay Friday, and faced the old dilemna: whether to tip the cash person, and if so, how much?
FWIW I gave her $10 for a $1600 hand pay.
Just wondering how much, if any, others tip for hand pays?

I will tip for a hand job; Big Hand Pay Slots
but not for a hand pay.

That reminds me of a joke.
What do a big spender and a leper doing a whore both have in common?
They both leave a tip when they're done.

Considering it would be my first hand pay ever, I probably be more generous than I should be, like $40 or something.

$10 was fine for a $1600 hand pay.
Here's what I do for handpays at video poker:
$1000 or less -- nothing. Some machines do 'lock' with a $1,000 payoff and it requires a hand pay and that is ridiculous. And I tell them that when they come to pay me.
$1250 -- $10 tip.
At $2,000 -- $20 tip
At $4,000 ($1 royal) $40
At $8,000 ($2 royal) $80
$10,000 (quad aces with kicker DDB) $100 tip
$20,000 royal -- $100 tip
Three times in my life I hit progressives:
$29,000 tipped $500 including $100 to the cleaning lady who had just wiped down the machine at 4-am, wished me luck, and I hit the royal on the very next spin. I overtipped the two floor people, and I know it now -- but didn't know then. I should have given the cleaning lady the $400, and the floor people $100. Everytime I go back to Caesars the cleaning lady sees me and runs over to give me a HUG. One time it was New Years Eve and I was still in my Tuxedo at 4 in the morning, and she runs over to give me a hug saying happy new year and I have this giant hand print of cigarette ash on the back of my tux jacket. My wife and I laughed about it.
$35,000 progressive I tipped $300 to the floor people, $100 to the technician who verified the machine was OK. Yes, the caisno sent a tech to check the machine before they paid me
$36,000 progressive I tipped $200 to the floor people, $100 to the technician, $40 to the cocktail waitress who (as I was hitting the buttons) wished me good luck after I declined a drink.

The most fulfilling tip for me was when I hit a $2K royal at the Cannery (second line of $0.25 MultiStrike -- this one actually paid off instead of the stingy machine at El Cortez!) . The two floorpeople came over and talked with me for about 15-20 minutes. I asked them a bunch of Mike Shackleford/Michael Bluejay-esque questions about how many handpays they do an hour, how they split tips per shift -- really nosy questions. They answered everything. I think I contributed $18 to the tip pool, and they were happy about that. I hate grubby, non-talkative floor people.Hand Pay Slots

I would tip about half of 1%, so $10 for $1600 would be about right. I don't tip on non-W-2G handpays.

What's a hand pay?
Just kidding, just been awhile. (June 2012)
In June I hit one for 4K and tipped $50 to each of the two people.

Hi Alan,
I'm a little confused by part of your tipping calc. Seems like on average you tip about 1% for hand pays. Why is it when you transition from a $10k win to a $20k win that you'd tip the same amount?
BTW, I agree 1% feels about right. But if you had to hand-pay under $1000, it might feel awkward fumbling for dollars. I think $10 and up sounds about right given a starting pot of $1k and work your way up on the 1% scale.
