In Nevada, they make minimum wage. Dealers make their money in tips. In a good house they can make as much as/or more than $75,000/yr in tips plus wages. It does not necessarily depend on how good a single dealer is, it is in the overall performance and attitude of the dealers and the generosity of the players.normally will tip the dealer every time they win a hand whereas a blackjack player tends to base the tipping on how much they have lost.

It depends on the casino, but many dealers make minimum wage or just a little more, plus tips. In the larger and/or more popular casinos, it's rumored that casino dealers can make $75,000 or more.

A lot of players are Professionals in the sense that they play the game for the purpose of earning an income, however, earning your entire living off nothing but blackjack is next to impossible for a number of logistical reasons, though in theory it is possible, and I woudlnt doubt there are a few people that do it especially in the realm of team play.

Professional blackjack players will most likely enter the arena as card counters, depending on a card counters betting approach toward attackign the game, they will hold an edge over it upto about 1.5% or more if the game is extremely vulnerable.

This means that on average, every 100 dollars put into action is worth $1.50 to the player. It then becomes a battle of how many hands you can play at an advantage, and how much money you can put on them. Though for most 8 deck games, the player can expect around 20$/hr placing 100 dollar bets, $40/hr if they play 200/hnd, and even more if they play 2+ hands simultaniously.

The limit to how much you can make will come down to one of several limiting factors

-Hands are dealt at a rate of 60-300 hnd per hour depending on the number of players at the table.

-A card counter will only place bets (or expect to win money) on about 15-25% of all hands dealt and observed

-A player cannot bet over the posted table maximum. which is *typically* 500 1000 or 2000 depending on the casino.

-Players betting large amount of money in contrast to other players at a table will stand out and become the focus of scruitiny which may lead to a backoff from the table. Typically, anything over 150-250/hnd consitantly will raise eyebrows but this depends on the casino.

-You cannot play the same casino in front of the same employees for 8 hours a day 5 days a week, and not be detected as a card counter in a short time frame.

All in all $15,000 to $40,000+/yr is not unreasonable if you can play the game a lot. Certainly not enough money to retire off of.

Blackjack dealers really only expect you to tip them if you're winning. If you're losing, keep what money you have left. If you are winning, they expect a tip that's proportional to the amount you're winning. No tip is required, but they would like to get whatever odd chips you have when you leave a table. If you leave the table with $510, they're hoping you'll throw them the $10 and walk away with the $500.

Most dealers will prefer you make a bet for them instead of just giving them a tip. You do that by placing a small bet directly above your own bet in the betting circle. If you win the hand, they win the small bet. If you lose the hand, they don't make anything because it all goes to the house.

It depends on the casino and it's location. The one I work at, I make minimum wage plus tips. The least I've made is around $18 an hour, usually weekdays. The most I've made is around $30 an hour, usually holidays and weekend events.

Who makes more money a blackjack dealer or poker dealer?

Both Blackjack and poker dealers get paid minimum wage. In some casinos the tip split is a 24 hour split, in others by shift. In some casinos the poker and BJ dealers do not pool their tips in which case, normally, the poker dealers make better tips. There are no set guidelines as to how much more or less a poker or BJ dealer makes, tips depend on the amount of money being won and the generosity of the players.
