An off-Strip casino is proposing a new tip-out policy for table game dealers in an apparent effort to attract more highly skilled employees.
However, some dealers at Rio Las Vegas are skeptical the changes will benefit them, and they wonder why this specific policy is rarely used in the industry.
According to an internal memo shared with the Review-Journal, Rio is implementing a 50/50 toke split for all table game dealers. Under the new policy, dealers will keep 50 percent of the tips, or tokes, earned at their table. The other 50 percent will be pooled and split evenly among all dealers who worked within the given 24-hour period.
