He or she will move it if you place it wrong, just don't stack the chips on top of your own, that won't work.

Okay, I'd agree with the good vibes Crap tipping wise, it just feels cool saying "hard ways 8 for the boyz.." or whatever. Personally, when I play Blackjack I don't tip at ALL. The reason being the advantage play only gives you a miniscule advantage to begin with, which is quickly eaten up by any tips you may give. Other friends of mine I've gone to Vegas with (who pretty much just stick to basic strategy) will usually tip the dealer after they get a blackjack. When tipping at the blackjack table, it's ALWAYS preferrable to the dealer that you place a bet FOR them in lieu of simply handing them the tip. The reason? You could get another blackjack which (in any legitimate blackjack scenario!) pays 3:2 and ends up being a larger tip for them. Also, if you have to double down or split, it's customary to match that on the dealer's tip so again, you're doing them a (potential!) favor. Even if you lose the hand, they always appreciate the gesture. You lucky man with an MGM in the hood.

How about some Casino tipping guidelines.. Gambling: Poker room - When you win a pot it is good to throw a dollar to the dealer. (In cash games.. in tournaments where you buy-in you don't want to throw your playing money to the dealers) Craps - Tip early by making a bet on the table for the dealers. You can place ANY bet you want and call it a dealer bet. You can do less than the mininum too. For instance at a 10$ mininum table you can make a 5$ dealer pass line bet. If the point hits they win 10 bucks. If you are on a super hot streak and up several hundred start placing odds bets on your dealer bets. Everybody wins. Blackjack - I'm not really sure but I'd like to hear Cash's suggestion on this. Ok not to get stuck on GAMBLING again but since I was at MGM last night its fresh on my mind.

It probably would have been better to slip each of the guys a $20 directly. The last time I moved I put my tip for the moving men on the check I wrote out.
