Maybe I’m just looking in the wrong places, but every number I find is all over the place.
One article says dealers don’t make much until tips are added. Another makes it sound like tips are where all the money comes from. Then I found a thread about blackjack dealer salary, and those numbers didn’t match either.
So what’s actually realistic?
Not talking about someone dealing high-limit games in Vegas. More like a regular casino, regular shifts. Is the paycheck mostly base wage, mostly tips, or does it depend entirely on the property?
Would be interesting to hear from people who’ve actually done the job instead of websites throwing out random averages.
