The rake would only have to be $1 dollar higher per hand (or $3 per player for time games) to take care of the dealers. If you want to make the argument that casinos will raise it $3 per hand just because casinos are thieving douchebags, then I'll take your side of the argument, but $1 per hand is all it would take.
Now if a dealer is making $25 and hour and getting out 14 hands a down according to the cat5 cable from the shufflemaster, then his ass gets fired or reprimanded like, you know, other jobs that require performance.
1. Yes, that is what im saying. regs tip somewhere in the vacinity of $2 per hand. ive seen recs tip greenbirds and some rec at the venetian stacked me and threw the dealer a black chip
2. and again, look at the commerce. min wage went up by $1, yet they raised time by $1 per player per half. so the dealer makes one more dollar per hour and the casino makes 17 more dollars per hour. and the regs are pissed so they tip less. there is no way a rake increase ever goes straight to the dealers (basically, i agree that they are thieving douchebags)
as to your last point, im not sure how 14 hands per down is slow. that is almost certainly
higher than normal for a 5-10 or 10-20 game
