PS. The tip is not mandatory for drinks (unless it was for this particular promo). Even though it adds it automatically, you can can tell your server a different amount while you're ordering. Not that I have done this.
I did ok THAT night and actually came out ahead. It's a huge advantage in any casino to buy chips at around 20% off.

You are right I should have put automatic instead of required tip.

The actual cocktail was nasty, but the wait staff did not have me or my friends pay for any drink we wanted THAT NIGHT from the menu, so I had quite a few beers.

Some people have IM me. Here are more details:

This was Carnival

The chips were match play.

I had to play one real chip and 1 promotional chip and I could play the promotinonal chip until they lost.

The first dealer took the promotional chip on a push and didn't let it play again. I spoke with the pit boss and he let me play them until I lost.

Also they cut me off at 1K drinks as I wanted to order another 1K..... Supposedly they ran out of promo chips.
