#### Formulas Used
- Table Game Dealer: Tip = (Bet × Hands/hr × Hours) × TipRate (0.5%–1.0%) × OutcomeModifier × QualityMultiplier
- Cocktail Server (free drinks): Tip = Drinks × $1.50 (avg) × QualityMultiplier
- Cocktail Server (paid drinks): Tip = Bill × 18%–25% × QualityMultiplier
- Valet: Tip = Trips × BaseRate (by vehicle type) × QualityMultiplier
- Poker Dealer: Tip = (Hours × HourlyRate) + (Winnings × 1%–2%) × QualityMultiplier
- Slot Attendant (Hand Pay): Tip = max($5, Jackpot × 1.0%–2.0%) × QualityMultiplier
- Keno Runner: Tip = (Tickets × $1) + (Winnings × 1%) × QualityMultiplier
- Quality Multipliers: Poor = 0.5×, Average = 1.0×, Good = 1.25×, Excellent = 1.5×
- Outcome Modifiers (Dealer): Winning = 1.3×, Break Even = 1.0×, Losing = 0.7×
