On September 1st, the Wynn Casino instituted a new policy where the dealers had to share their tips with the casino supervisors. One published report stated that the dealers at the Wynn casino were making about $100,000 a year while the supervisors were averaging about $60,000. The new tip policy was being instituted to balance the inequity. The new tip-pooling policy would mean an average pay reduction of about 20 percent.

Two Wynn Las Vegas dealers filed a class action lawsuit to end the casino's 3-week-old tip-pooling program. The dealers said they filed the lawsuit on behalf of more than 500 dealers affected by the new program. The two dealers are seeking the wages they lost because of the tip pooling and they want the program stopped.
