I was just curious as to how much you should or have tipped a slot attendant on a hand payout? example on a $1000 or a $1200 win what would you tip them A few of the "pros" suggest tipping 1-2% on handpays. It is entirely up to the individual however. On a $1K handpay, I usually give them $40 which won't even fill the tank on many cars, and thats $30 more than the pros suggest. You make the call.

I believe Dancer suggests 1% up to $4000 (or thereabouts) and .5% above that. Not surprisingly Fa la la suggests 0% tipping.

I usually give the attendant and the security guard about $20. If I have a great cocktail waitress I`ll give her $20 also.

Wow. I only give $5 on a handpay. I'm surprised they actually give me the money.   

I usually give the slot attendant $20 on a $1K jackpot and $40-$60 on anything bigger.   If they get sneaky and just pay me in $100's with the hope of getting a bigger tip, then they get nada. 
 
If the beverage service has been good, then the waitress, waiter, or bartender will get $20 as well.

I think it really depends on the type of service provided. If they are friendly, helpful, funny, prompt and dont ask for a tip, I usually tip them at least $20.00. If they are not- then they get nada. I tip waiters and waitresses at least 25%, but really this is someone that just brings you your money and are not catering to you. Just my opinion.

I have found that service has gone so far downhill I refuse to tip anything!
