How Much You Need To Be Tipping Cocktail Servers At Casinos
BY AUTUMN SWIERS
Tipping is essential at casinos, including tips for staff who provide drinks. These servers typically receive low wages and depend on gratuities for their income.
You should tip casino server at least 30% of a drink's price. This comes out to about $2 per drink and $6 for a whole pitcher of alcohol, assuming it costs around $20.
Consider adding extra money for special situations. Exceptional service justifies a $20 tip, or perhaps higher, depending on how expensive the casino is.
To ensure better service, start with a generous initial tip, like $10 for the first drink, and specify your location. Note that servers are busier at tables with live dealers.
