Actually that's the one thing I hated about the job. Las Vegas is very communist. I would work my ass off, be friendly, tell jokes, and keep people happy while others would stand around stone-faced and they'd divide the tips up at the end of the night and everyone would get the same amount. Even if they were standing around all night on graveyard doing nothing. And just like communism, the people in the high limit room didn't have to include thier tips in our pool so there was a priviledged elite. And the dealers who count and divide the tips get an extra share.

I was paying for someone else's kids new braces, I was paying for someone else's house, I was paying for someone else's car, etc. and all they had to do was stand around doing nothing.

There's a reason when you go to Las Vegas, you'll find that most of the dealer's are Asian women. The Casino feels that any money given to the dealers as tips is money they should have gotten. So they hire quiet women who work hard and aren't friendly and don't talk to customers like my ex-wife who still deals there and was one of the meanest dealers (and people) I've ever known.

Years ago some places would divide the tips on a shift for shift basis, or even a table by table basis.
