In what is being hailed as a major victory for worker's rights, the Tangiers casino has become the first in Las Vegas to make tipping after a slot machine jackpot mandatory.

Effective April 1, 2008 players will be barred from the casino if theyw receive
more than one slot machine handpay jackpot of over $1200 and don't
give a tip to the slot machine attendant. According to slot director Dennis Sanders: "This policy isn't being introduced to boost (the casino's) bottom line, because it won't. Gratuities will go to our employees, not the casino."


So long Tangiers. I won't be coming back.

I'm not a fan of mandatory tipping either. It's called a "gratuity" for a reason.
