    Tipping a good percentage of a jackpot is only hurting yourself for no good reason.

    I look at tipping generally in terms of how much work had to be done to process the jackpot.

    Unless the jackpot is small (<=$2,000), then 20 minutes of routine paperwork with SSN, ID, and IRS (W2G) should only be $15 or so.

    Rather amazing to tip hundreds of dollars for 15-20 minutes of paper work when hotel housekeepers cleaning up toilets with vomit, dirty condoms, dildoes, pizza boxes, and all other kinds of unmentionables often receive nothing in tips.

    Everyone Is down lifetime on casino games except counters. You didn't win you just got closer to even. Tipping is dumb. If I won a big one I'd tip but tipping routinely is dumb. Like people who believe the ads that say the more you buy the more you save.

    I am a more than generous tipper as well and wouldn't have tipped in this scenario either.

    Also, I have eaten with cmoney and can confirm he is a generous tipper.

    Would you have tipped the girl for a blowjob?

    The best story that I heard about Treasure Island was when a homeless man goes there one day to get his social security check cashed. He plays blackjack and after a day or two he has over a million dollars in winnings. They comp him a room, at one point the female manager (who told this story) tells this guy to take his money and get out of here. Of course, he doesn't and he loses all his winnings.

    Why the fuck are you hanging out at TI anyway?
    A bunch of redneck cowboys, old grandma's and white trash "Annie Duke" type whores.

    This reminds of a situation very similar that happened to me, where I didn't tip the dealer who dealt us a bad beat.

    I got a table share which was ~2900 so since I only got a table share I didn't think I was supposed to tip and figured the two who got the majority of it take care of the dealer. Having never been involved in that before I really didn't know, after the review was over took my money, the dealer was not around, and went and got another seat at a cash table. A few days later a guy I was always friendly with came up to me and said quite a few dealers thought I was fucked up because I didn't tip. I explained I didn't know I had too and that I would give her $100 which I did but they didn't think that was good enough. The whole situation turned into a mess and still to this day, the majority of dealers at this dog track give me attitude over that incident. Place is a shit-hole anyway but it definitely got around to the entire place how I went about that. It is annoying and so we generally never share pleasantries as a result.

    At least you will not ever see her again most likely. That matters, and is a whole lot nicer then some local place you frequent where they all know you.
