What about card counting?
I went to NCL last sept 2019 Alaska cruise and won $10,000 on slot machine
A technique, identify ten or 20 or 50 ….? More, that you can afford to lose each night and when you lose it….walk away. I won couple hundred bucks on the KC Chiefs winning the Super bowl. My wife lost it the same night. Oh well….
I won 10298 last week on MSC cruise from Buenos aires
I’ve been on two NCL cruises and NEVER won a dime
Carnival only pays blackjack at 6:5 unless you play a $25 minimum bet table which pays the standard of 3:2. They also cheat on the 6:5 payout. At a $6 minimum with the 6:5 payout they only pay $7 for a Blackjack….vs the correct amount of $7.20….does not seem like much for 1 hand but over time it is a major skim of their customers $s.
amazing tour! i have also posted a casino tour before and after COVID strike see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oXmY2Nt1hM&t=44s
JUST A WORD OF CAUTION…If you have ever played CRAPS you have seen written on the layout BAR, 12 on the Don't Pass and Don't Come some cruise lines do not even offer the don't side or if they do THEY BAR 3 rather than 12 its ok just stay on the PASS SIDE
I usually make enough to subsides some, if not all, of the cruise by playing poker while the other players were drunk. Every other game is useless.
I love slots. And bingo at my local casino.
Going on pride of America in 2022. I think I will be busy to gamble on that cruise.
If there are NO crap tables it is NOT a casino !!!
Many times l my husband, kids, go for cruising, we all like Norwegian ships, only ones we went in some other ship, one thing is, when ship is on port, casino is never open, and my favorite spot is casino, I love playing on slots, three card poker, never, i win big, always loose money, that time i feel bad then too l love gambling.🤩🌹
My cruise was already booked, it cancelled 4 times because of Corona, don't know exactly, when it will open, I'm waiting. 😁🌹
I get rates for room on cruise.. casino rate, sometimes free room. Also premier cruises give me $1000 to gamble with. They have tournaments win many nice gifts. Yes, gambled yrs ago and now booked on 4 cruises, 3 has free rooms. I had money for gamble,cheaper room, australia!!
We have been on 29 cruises. I won $13,500 to the good on a cruise years ago playing blackjack. Often I break even, but overall I lose.
Disney cruise ships have so many kids because the disney cruise is a holiday that parents take their kids on. That's why there are no casinos on disney cruises
My first cruise I won a jackpot of almost $1000 and got a T-shirt. I wanted to play a little later but my husband didn't so he stayed in the room. I got a progressive royal flush on a quarter poker machine for almost $1200 and got him a matching T-shirt! Paid for the whole trip plus some!
Celebrity has a limited drink menu of comp. drinks, if YOU are playing.Also odds on $10.00 craps are 2. Royal does comp drinks for reg players. if you are in MGM club make sure the host knows your level
Great breakdown about the casino. Thanks
State law limits are 3 miles for all states except Texas and the gulf coast of Florida which are 9miles
NCL Bliss casino has a separate smoking room, the rest of the casino is smoke free
On one of our cruises, I won a jackpot where the cruise paid me in $100 bills. I took the money home and took it to Reno. I asked the cashier to give me $20s. To my surprise, I was taken to the back room and was questioned by the police, ATF and another agency. They looked at all the bills and confiscated them because it was all counterfeit. Why is the cruise company allowed to pay out in counterfeit money. Looks like I have to bring a marking pen when they give the money to make sure it is not funny money. What is your thoughts about this? Would it be better to refuse $100 bills and ask for $20s?
It’s ridiculous at this point in 2021 that gambling isn’t legal everywhere. And this is coming from someone that rarely ever gambles.
When. Carnival panorama starting to sail
I lost 1k in Vegas. I was shocked that I spent that much money. We r bringing around $300 to play slots on our carnival Vista cruise this Saturday if we lose it, oh well we were expecting to lose it anyway
Can’t stand the smoking they allow in cruise ship casinos. Like to gamble but don’t want lung cancer either.
I won $1900 on Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the seas October 19, 2021 I could hardly believe it the machine just kept getting bonuses and free spins what a great trip🤑
What you need to know specially in Royal Caribbean ships is that the casino dealers doesnt have a salary, YES, CASINO DEALERS DOES NOT HAVE A SALARY! , Royal caribbean collect their own tips and give to them one month after, basically they dont cost a penny to Royal Caribbean, also they have to do alot of side duties as wheelchair assistance, embarcation or gangway assistance, duties that do not make them earn extra because once again Royal caribbean gives $0 salary to the casino dealers.
I will do a series of videos explaining this and much more.
Shameless company.
Great show. We just got back last week from Royal Caribbean Mariner of the seas. We witnessed a woman hit $ 21,750! On the Buffalo slot machine! I swear it lost it's mind that machine! She was betting 3.60 a push and got bonus which then gave her 130 free spins! It was crazy! They of course announced her big win. I have never seen anything like that. We have been really lucky on ships. I have almost broke even a few times. Lost this last time but my husband won 2K last year and broke even the last two cruises. All in all not bad. We LOVE to gamble for sure. We have been on 7 or 8 cruises since 2018 all FREE Royal Caribbean and we have 4 FREE cruises coming up booked because of the gambling. We don't go to Vegas anymore. I prefer free cruises to a free rooms in Vegas.
Do they pay you when you win or will they mail it? Can you cash out at anytime?
My first cruise was 18 days with only 6 port days so I spent a lot of time in the casino. I won well over 2 thousand dollars in the first 4 days of the cruise. Just a lucky streak i guess because I havent won in a casino since lol
My husband and I have only been on one cruise so far. We cant wait for our back to back cruise later this year. This was very informative. Thank you.
When Blackjack went from 3:2 to 6:5, they lost me. BJ and craps are the only games you really have a chance. The house already has the odds, and the player has a way to make a calculated wager.
Congratulations to huge win! 😜 I know where you can get more than 98 free spins.Best choice.
And he probably blew the 450 grand the following weekend, doing $1,000 pulls…. lol lol
Cruise cashiers are crazy. Cashier thinks I am being a big deal wearing gold chains. He doesn't like it. I bought them on the ship. The ship should stop selling the chains! I cash out $10 dollars. He laughs. Like I should give him the money. Then he tells me to put that little money back in the slot machine. This is how casino management trains them.
Percentage payout on any fruit machine in based on at least 10, million plays or the life time of the machine. I owned and rented out fruit machines for several years. People think if a machine states it pays out 85% than it pays out that amount while there gambling that's incorrect. You will be lucky in real terms to ever win when playing fruit machines take note when machine are emptied there the biggest money maker in any casino.
FYI fellow travellers, if you've gambled in Las Vegas before, keep in mind that Nevada State Gaming has regulations for Las Vegas casino slot machines to have a minimum average payout of 75% (Regulation #14). It makes sure all Las Vegas slot machines actually pay out a minimum 75% of players' bets (theoretically). It prevents casinos from setting up their machines to pay out less than 75% or none at all. These cruise ship casinos dont have any regulations to follow or abide by since you are essentially gambling in international waters. Im sure they wouldn't, but the cruise ship could set up their slot machines to never pay out (or barely at all) since there are no regulations stopping them from doing so. If you want to gamble (and win), stick to the tables on cruise ships.
The NCL Prima and other newer NCL ships has a separate room for smokers.
You're right, think of gambling on a cruise ship as entertainment BUT always stay within budget! Too bad odds are worse on a ship but …..that's life.
We had our first cruise with p&o from Melbourne last December wife won free cruise up to 14 nights
Then our next cruise in jan wife won $500 play money and i got almost free cruise at a cost of $ 250 per person again up to 14 nites with 300 play money
Also we had 2 free speciality dinner with $ 80 to spend
Thanks p & o also we didnt spend much
i am glad i can afford to give the casinos a miss, to me looks borring as f
One of my 1st cruises years ago, I hit a major jack pot on the 1st day of the cruise. I have won several slot tournaments which are a lot of fun. This past year I hit another jackpot on the Carnival Radiance 17:23 of the Sea playing Double Diamond Deluxe. I average about 3 cruises a year and my family and I feel it’s the best value for your money.
I really enjoy watching your videos. When I’m not on a cruise, watching your videos gives me the sense of being there.
Thanks
Mark
