In most parts of US, any payout of more than $1,200 is paid in person by the slot floor person. The tipping here starts with a minimum amount of $20 and can be up between 3-10 percent of the jackpot reward. It however, depends on the discretion of the customer.
Do you think it is necessary to give tips or it is just a tradition that is required?
I guess it's not necessary, but it feels good when you share!
My sister works in a casino and recently she and her colleague got a 50 euros tip from a guy who hit some jackpot on some slot there. There are always people who win and who like to share, it's also some sort of superstition, by sharing you are hoping to get lucky again in the future.
An interesting story from the newspaper the other day... Some guy won over $60k, with a sports parlay! He placed a $10 bet and he won crazy big. What attracted attention was that he bought breakfast for 3 employees in that casino (some pastries and yogurt, which is probably less than $5).
It woke up the internet trolls and everyone had their own opinion on whether it was okay or not! How would some of them act if they won so much in the casino?
Unnecessary discussion in my opinion... simply some people like to share and some don't. And tipping shouldn't be something mandatory in my opinion, then it loses its meaning, we tip when we are feeling up for that, and nobody feels like that all the time (if you are not a billionaire).
