i know that my sisters friend use to be a casino dealer and they made like around $21 dollars an hour and that including usual tips. I dont know these wages could be at foxwoods but other casinos could be paying higher or lower. Also you can't become a dealer like that you need to go to school and get your dealing license / degree.
Indeed.com has Vegas dealers at 47k/yr. I'm sure that's a base-not with tips.
If you live in FL you are lucky because FL is the pinnacle of poker dealing right now. You can expect $1200-$2000 per week with a 30 hr/wk dealing position. So good luck and if you here of any openings, go for it!

I think the big problem is dealing in tournaments alot of young online players are playing in live tournaments and don't tip after a big win, just because they are not usse to doing it playing online. i read somewhere that Chris Moneymaker tipped an additional 30-40k to the dealers after his 2003 WSoP main event win.

Wow - I knew wages for dealers in the States were bad but I had no idea they were single figure per hour bad.
Pay for casino dealers here depends on their experience, how long they've been at the casino, etc. Starting out they'd be on around AUD$35-40K pa. That's around the $37k per year ballpark in US dollars at the moment. Casino staff aren't allowed to take tips here*.
There can also be some confusion over tipping in tournaments because some tournaments have the staff tips built into the tournament fee and others don't - Matt Savage wrote an interesting article on it for PokerNews a little while back IIRC.
Where have you heard this? Thats great if its true.
I know that in France it's not a job to do.
