I would tip if I was to get a massage, my tip would probably turn into compensation as I would probably knock their block off for touching me, so safer to not have a massage in the first place 😛

Yesterday, at a tournament at the MGM National Harbor, I had my first ever massage at the table. After all those years watching players get massages while playing at the WSOP, it was my turn. I have a frozen shoulder and the masseuse was really good.

I didn't find the position of being table-side, facing the back of the chair, so comfortable. There's that firm pillow you can use and I found that slipped around. I timed my massage for during a short break, but was still being massaged when break ended. Getting dealt cards while having a massage isn't optimal.

One question I have about this is: If you get massages during poker, do you tip? In this case, it seemed that all the cash from the massage went straight to the masseuse. I don't know if she had to pay something to the poker room to be able to work there. Anybody know?

Yes, I always tip & love to get massage! 😇

Hmm, doesn't know, maybe she have to pay some % to the poker room for working there...

"Yes. As independent contractors we have to pay to work. Here at the Lodge in Texas we charge $2/per minute. We pay $1/minute to the company and we keep a $1/minute. We purchase our uniforms and supplies. Tips are always appreciated."

(Buhahaha...I have almost spilled my coffee - don't do this to me :LOL: )

The person who opened the comments again (4yrs. later) appears to be an actual poker masseuse & has provided some good info.(unlike the large % who got that much closer to the passwords). I knew they paid a portion to the casino but wasn't sure how much - - seems they pay 1/2 to the Casino.

Crazy they have to pay 1/2 to the casino. That's quite a commission. U were probably wondering about my second answer itt.:
