Read The Incredible Truth About Craps Dealers.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, BUT CRAPS DEALERS ARE GAMBLERS, JUST LIKE YOU !

Every day that the craps dealers report to work, they are gambling that you will make wagers for them on their behalf. Though this method of generating income revenue is commonly referred to as “Tips” or “Tokes”, what dealers are looking for are gamblers who appreciate their services and who will make wagers for them on their behalf. This constitutes half to as much as 800% of their income revenue.

Casino Dealers, in most states, are paid minimum wage ($5.15 per hour) by the casinos. Even multi-game dealers only make an additional 25-35 cents on payroll for dealing multiple games… and in some casinos receive no additional compensation at all. Consequently, what dealers are looking for are sophisticated gamblers who have some degree of savvy about maximizing the table odds to their advantage and who have some ability to manage and maximize their bank.

A good craps dealer can easily recognize a real “Player” and provide the best possible service by positioning the player’s wagers to a point that the player need provide no direction or instruction at all. Often, the dealer will even direct the player as to where he might have overlooked the positioning of odds or place bets to maintain consistency in a pattern of wagers. If you mistakenly think that craps dealers work for “The House” then find a casino with hot action at the craps tables and watch how many people from “The Pit” close in on the action to make sure that the payoffs are correct and that the dealers are not giving away too many secrets.

Many a dealer has been fired for over exuberance at a hot craps table. In addition, there is no consistency in policy, casino to casino, with regard to what a craps dealer can and can not tell players about the game. The general rule for dealers is that they should not volunteer information about the game unless asked. This used to be a hard and fast rule, but with the growth of gaming and with all the fabulous new resort-casinos emerging today competing for customers, the casinos are a lot looser about providing player information. Many have morning lessons on craps and provide an instructor who lectures and provides detailed information about the game. One Las Vegas Casino actually has classes all day long. In addition to the fact, that dealers make only minimum wage, many major casinos have written policies that state that it is against “Company Policy” for dealers to “hustle” “Tips” or “Tokes” and that doing so constitutes grounds for dismissal.

The object of real “Pro” dealers, believe it or not, is to end up working for a “First Class” casino to a point where they would receive NO salary at all on their paycheck, because their “Tips” (Tokes) would be so high that ALL salary dollars would be withheld for tax, social security and benefit withholdings ! ! !
