That dirt adds up…esp 16 extra milea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeman Posted June 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 The cocktail waitress at the mountain grand was super efficient - just kept bringing me gin n tonics. only ordered one and everytime she walked by she'd hand me another one - they're comped by the way. I was splashing her $1 tips like it was going out of style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeman Posted June 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Lots of people in deadwood buy into a $5 BJ table with 20 or 40 bucks, you almost never see that in MN casino's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad u were tipping at least. Sat night One of them delivered $15 in free drinks and made next to nothing. Rounds and rounds like that. I always give them $5 a drink I guess because they’re free and I like all the cocktails. Guessing my doc will tell me no more drinking today ( I drink once a week but when I do, I go hard) so they may be losing a good chunk of regular income from me. Can’t fathom people who don’t tip on a free drink. These girls make peanuts 🥜 without tips and they work hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did notice that not tipping was fairly common, your $5 tips make you look like bill gates I bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s on my FB….great cocktail waitress,,, She’s been over to the house for housewarming party lol. I know. I only do that because is easy on the table to give a value chip, and they are friends at this point, and I know they have some really bad nights. There was a guy there tipping same girl $100 per drink one night though…she made at least 800 that night. I guess it balances out. Deadwood is like the forums, Everyone know almost everyone who works and plays…some go to multiple places, others are exclusive…some quit certain casinos because of certain people…etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can have average $12 per hour shifts and 95/hr shifts…just depends on the plays and players…. They pretty much work for tips obviously. They can’t say it, but if I’m playing, seeing people win and not tipping I’ll throw out “don’t forget to tip your dealers!” Lol. Some people, esp young people don’t even realize….and it’s hard for the inexperienced to know how to tip on some games, They usually appreciate it. BJ pretty straight forward…in DW, the dealers can take roulette tips and place them for the crew, it’s fun. Some dealers drop all tips, some play them all, some drop half play half.

mikeman Posted June 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 In MN everyone makes min - which is maybe $11, so tipping is all added on and they dont have to struggle to get to min. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeman Posted June 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 I'm in dodge city now, it's crawling with mexicans, at my hotel - I went to a chinese buffet for dinner ant it was 75% mex, went to the casino, quite a few there. The boot hill casino was a disappointment - only 1 BJ table and it was full, played a few machines and lost around 50. Gas is not bad so far, the most I've paid is $4.69, paid $4.46 once, the rest were mid 4.50's. The chinese buffet was the worst I've ever had - 75% of the items we're almost gone - had to eat stuff I dont even like- then when they brought out a new tray the mexicans would clear it out.
