Should I tip the slot host for being comped for room, food, etc.?
Casino/Slot Hosts: NO TIP!!! This is a biggie. No cash money tips can be accepted by any slot or casino host. It’s too much like a bribe as they are the ones who determine whether or not you get that free room or comped meal. However, you can give them gifts. One recommendation is for you to bring a gift with “local flair” to a casino host who has gone the extra mile for you. Other thoughts might include food items from your local area like an assortment of jams, or a nice bottle of wine. Also acceptable are things like scarves, ties, lapel pins, tie clips, candy, etc. Gift certificates are a grey area. Some casinos are okay with them, others frown upon it. Another nice thing to do is to send flowers or a plant, but the best thing you can do according to the slot hosts which we have heard from is to write a very nice letter to their boss letting them know how well you were treated and how much the assistance of your host contributed to the wonderful time you had in their casino.
