Yes, of course, intrinsically, and yes, of course, it tilts the house advantage even more against you but...

When I play I have some kind of goal...sometimes it is to win just a grand, sometimes three, sometimes five, sometimes twenty. Sometimes the goal is simply, to win!

Along the way as I start pulling ahead I invariably toss chips alongside my bets for the dealers. If I win, they win. Generally I start off with red chips for them, then green and then, if I am really winning big, black chips. In the old days when I was winning table limit bets I would toss as much as a five hundred dollar chip alongside my table limit (in those days, fifteen grand) wager, for the dealer.

Some casinos try to limit the side wager for the dealers, some severely (for example the Hard Rock Vegas under Peter Morton limited the dealer bets to a measly $25. - for reasons that are too lengthy to explain quickly, but had to do with celebrities who were tipping out too much).

The house doesn't like tips. Money won by the dealers is locked up and no longer in play. Obviously, dealers do like tips.

I am not a greedy person. When I am winning, everyone wins! the dealer, the cocktail waitress, and of course...me!

When I reach my goal, I just stop. Tipping along the way might minutely affect the length of time it takes to reach my goal, but does not affect how much I end up with in my pocket. When I stop at a goal of say three grand, I will not end up with $3400. because I failed to tip out along the way, I will end up with just three grand. The way I play, tipping does not affect my bottom line.

P.S. I play table games only. I never waste time with any game that involves any kind of report. Not because I fear the 1099s, W2Gs, etc., but because such games are generally ridiculous house advantage games and are very boring to me to boot. Who wins at slots? Percentage wise, probably not much more than as hit the lotto.
