Employee tipping plays a critical role in compensation for many casino team members, yet tip distribution remains one of the more complex and operationally burdensome workflows across tribal gaming. As casinos modernize payments, compliance, and workforce systems, tipping often remains disconnected from broader technology and process initiatives. 
This panel brings together a tribal gaming operator and an industry technology leader to discuss how employee tipping workflows are being evaluated and modernized. Panelists will explore the operational and compliance considerations tied to legacy tipping models, including transparency, accuracy, tax reporting, and employee experience. 
Drawing on real-world operational perspectives, the discussion will address practical considerations such as workflow design, employee adoption, change management, and cross-functional collaboration between finance, cage, HR, and compliance teams. Attendees will gain insight into how modernization efforts can reduce operational friction, support audit readiness, and improve workforce trust without disrupting existing operations.
