On a related note, here in Phoenix the Gila River casino's have a pai gow progressive jackpot that is around half a million. If you put a red chip on the light to bet the progressive ($1), the dealers will make the necessary change but will not put the $1 chip on the light for you, YOU must. The dealers are all convinced that the tribe would stiff the winner if they put the dollar on the light for you and gave you the $4 change: The way this same operation is handled in every other casino in the country. They are also quite sure that someone touching their cards before the four cards have been counted at the end of the deal would void the jackpot.
I used to be convinced that casino management operated on good faith but I am less and less convinced of that.
These are all valid points, but you said that a b&m casinos would never confiscate chips when backing off an AP, I was offering evidence to the contrary.

Dealers tell all sorts of stories. Doesn't mean they are true. I would doubt either scenario you mentioned would have any effect as neither would have effected the integrity of the hand or game.

It all depends on the game and security issues of the game.
At the Hard Rock Tampa, poker room has a royal flush jackpot.
Some girl hit it recently, she was so excited, she ran over to her boyfriend at another table with her 2 cards.
She was not paid. Cant leave the table with cards.
Its a gaming security issue.
I was playing pai gow with the fortune bonus, almost dropped a card on the floor.
Dealer said to be careful, if I hit the fortune but dropped a card on the floor, would not get paid.

That's a terrible story, but that girl is a moron. As far as cards falling on the floor, as far as i know this is a standard in the industry, no?
I have seen many casinos that require the chips wagered to be contacted by the player him/herself before the hand is played. I know the hardrock stopped allowing players to cap others bets around the table, although i still see some dealers allowing it, because disputes arose to whose money it actually was etc.. Id imagine this applies to the example that was stated about 'the dealers think the tribe will screw someone over'

Yes, dealers are often wrong and maybe the tribe would pay. I'm not so sure.
But even if they would pay, the management is bad: A) their dealers are telling their patrons that they may not get the progressive because of stupid BS procedure, and B) from a time/motion standpoint their dealers are costing them a lot of money with unnecessary and time wasting procedure.

Lots of that going on all over the place. I can't deny or defend most of it. It's actually part of my topic(s) when I speak or present about Table Games.

Oct 18, 2018 Investing in the stock market is often compared to gambling, but investing is not a game. Certain strategies are akin to gambling, like trading penny stocks, short-term speculation, and unprotected option strategies. Those strategies should be avoided. Properly investing in stocks, on the other hand, involves the thorough analysis of real-world data. Difference between investment vs gambling. Gambling is a time-bound event while an investment in a company can last several years. With gambling, once the game or hand is over, your opportunity to profit from your wager has come and gone. You either have won or lost your capital. Stock investing, on the other hand, can be time-rewarding. For either investing or gambling, the beginning of Murkco’s definition is the same: An activity in which money is put at risk for the purpose of making a profit. But while the purpose of gambling and investing is identical, the methods by which the purposes are achieved are drastically different.
The one argument i can see coming from the dealer placing the wager for the client is similar to the issue i spoke about concerning the hardrock.
What would happen if the dealer places the wager for the client, hits the progressive and then says 'that $5 was a tip and I decided to convince the player, who agreed, to place the progressive for me in return for the other 4 dollars back'? as ridiculous as that may sound, do you believe, based on the other things you are saying about some dealers, that this situation could never arise? Needless to say, even if the proper thing happened an the player was paid, do you think any patron would ever come back and play at that casino? I dont..
I can understand if this is one reason for this procedure actually being in place.

I would say that that's not the case if they put their $5 on the betting spot first. The dealer is then making change and giving back the over back. I'm sure other places could define it however they want to though. But I would never avoid any type of hand or jackpot in table games or poker unless the integrity of the game was involved.

Of course, just some hypos as to some possible reasoning..
I think you know what I was trying to say.

I see the point you are making, but this would have to happen at an empty table so that no other player could witness the events. Also if the player has been placing the bet all night, places the red chip squarely on the light, and takes the $4 change, I don't see how anyone would believe the dealer. Furthermore, how does the procedure combat your cheating dealer? Couldn't the dealer say that they guy put his tip on the light even if the player handled the chip?Finally, I would think that the 'tip' bet technically belongs to the player until he gives it to the dealer. Yes I know that rules are different for the tip bet (smaller minimum, no commission taken out at Bacc/ Pai Gow, etc) but I think if you made a tip bet and it won and you kept the money, they wouldn't have much grounds to make you give them the money. So even if I put a 'tip' on the light and kept the money, I don't think that the dealer would have much of a claim on the money.
