    First cruise .. my 82 year old mother ON HER BIRTHDAY was on Carnival Victory with us. She put her money in a slot machine and hit 25 Cents. Didn't know how to work the machine so I pulled the handle for her. She hit for $1000 … and also got a free t-shirt. Hubby got the t-shirt and she watched that money like a hawk for the rest of the cruise (we put it in the safe) and she wanted to make sure it was still there 5 times a day. On way home through NYC she finally parted with a few bucks and bought us breakfast.

    A couple of years ago we took a cruise with another couple, our best friends. This was before they moved 3K miles to live by us(we meet them on a cruise in 2016). My best friend and I spent one whole night in the casino. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN! We went up and down(hubbies went to bed lol). And then magic......I hit a machine for a ton. The money was nice trust me but the night together was magical. This last Feb we lost her husband. We are all heartbroken. But we have the memory of that special night together.

    Best way to avoid ATM Fees and table fees is Put your sail and sign card in a slot, add money to the slot machine (however much you want to take out from the ATM) then cash out, go to cashier and get your money. No fees.

    Than you so much! I was hoping you would have a video about the casinos on board cruise ships and here that is, very informative. Fortunately I am strict with myself at setting a maximum losing total when I visit my brother and his wife in Las Vegas and we go out to the Wynn. I limit my free drinks to three. I used to have a barber who was a serious gambler and he would play in tournaments on cruise ships and apparently do pretty well most of the time. Me, it would definitely be just recreational. On my last cruise, my assigned table in the dining room was a table for 8 people, and several of them were way into playing in the ship's casino. I didn't go into the casino on the trip, but remember how much they liked it, so I plan to do that on my next cruise and will keep in mind the pointers that you provided here..

    On my first cruise, Royal Caribbean, I played a really strange poker machine that had what looked like cards cut in half on a spit and they would spin when you played a hand. I won a jackpot of over $900 and they gave me a t-shirt. Later that same night my husband wanted to stay in the cabin so I went back to the casino alone. I won a progressive video poker jackpot for almost $1200 and my husband and I left the ship with matching t-shirts! Exciting!

    Good info Jamie, especially the warnings about reduced slot machine payouts and the temptation to spend more than you can afford to lose. Cruises out of Australia have an age limit of 18 for both gambling and drinking. And we don't pay tax on winnings, unless you're a professional gambler. Craps is one game we have never learned so maybe we'll try taking a lesson on our Alaskan cruise next year. Or maybe Baccarat. I'm not much of a gambler but it might be nice to learn something new.

    Jamie, this is really instructional and helpful for those who might not have much of an idea about casinos on cruise-liners. We were given a free cruise last year ( a nice one actually on a very good cruise line)f or 2 by a land based casino we play in once in a while near Miami when we go to our winter home. We were not cruise enthusiasts but hell, we thought it was free might as well go for a week, since we're down for the winter anyway. So we spent a lot of time in the casino on the ship every night. We asked one of the Casino hosts for a drink pass for each of us (2) the first night. No problem. Free drinks in the casino (but nowhere else) which was great. I made sure to throw a tip to the waiters every drink we had. We also had made bookings at premium restaurants before we left (extra $$) for a bit of a change in the evenings, when we really didn't have to. The Casino host would ask us where we wanted to eat each night, and it was comped at any restaurant we wanted. Some restaurants were 80$ -100$ premium (above the included sit down price in the dining room) extra per person. My wife wanted a spa treatment, the Casino host told her to go up and get what she wanted. Bottom line, For the host to do this, I believe that its a matter of playing enough over the duration of the cruise, getting a casino host to specifically look after our needs (thats their job for us and others) and being respectful and courteous, and not demanding. He offered some nice perks for us, and we appreciated it. I know there are minimums of how much gambling is expected, so the host must be very aware of this. The whole experience was fabulous. Food, ship, service, ports etc were beautiful. We lost money in the Casino (the payouts are much poorer than on land where its regulated) as expected; but the way we looked at it was that since we didn't pay anything, it was ok to spend something! The same cruise line gave us another free trip this year, on an even nicer, newer ship, and we are looking forward to being cruise enthusiasts and casino players once again!

    I like slots on occasion. And it does feel like cruise ship slots are much tighter than land based slots. But I go in with the money that I allocate to gambling being already spent. If I win anything, great, that's money put towards my seapass account and awesome, got a little extra scratch. If I dont ever win a single pull of the slots, then I'm comfortable knowing that I had already allocated the money I spent gambling and I knew what I got into when I gambled.

    My wife and i typically lose about 1000$ each per 7 day cruise but we still consider it a win because Carnival and Royal both comp us a balcony everytime, we are about to take our 14th cruise in 4 years and we only paid for our first on each cruise line, every cruise since has been a comped cruise. With Royal they let you combine offers so they offer me a free balcony and we can add my wifes comp to mine and get a free suite. If we had to pay for a suite it would cost a whole lot more than we lose gambling.

My cruise travel buddy is the Casino player and has only started cruising last year. So far she hit 2 hand pays, one being over $2000. So the Casino are always the spot we frequent the most on our cruises. We both are Prime with casino loyalty program and we get free drinks in the casino. The fee to withdraw cash from our sea pass card/credit card is waived as well and are a couple of the perks of having the Prime status.

    Yep! When it comes to slots you have no idea what the house edge is. Can't change the house edge on table games without the player knowing. Jamie is right about having to watch the table rules like the 6/5 payout on BJ. That raises house edge from about 0.5% to 2%. Also, be ready for the craps tables to limit your odds bets to 1 or 2X pass line bets. This raises the house edge, but it's less than 1% difference. And they will call a "no roll" on dice throws where both dice do not hit the back wall. Just little things to be ready for.

    Hi Bstaton67..I think that is a myth. Payout amounts can be changed, but not as easily as people think. In Vegas, in order to change a payout %, there needs to be paperwork filed, etc so it's a bit of a process. At Sea, there are different regulations, but the casinos do operate under US Federal Laws and I don't believe they can or would, just press a button and change payout amounts. The machines are set low already..low enough for ships to make good money on them.

    Thanks for the video, Jamie. I'm fairly new at Cruising but the Casino is my favorite thing on the ship. I enjoy this private personal time. Just to share some fun times, My first crusie was a Mediterranean one out of Barcelona. I got into a $50 Texas poker game and won the tournament. The prize was originally for a free cruise on RC largest ship for two, but went to cash prize because of the amount of folks in the tournament. We decided that the winner would get the most and the three runner-ups the rest. I got $800 or so. I was NOT an expert at poker and was making mistakes after mistakes, but I was having fun. The other times I enjoy on the ship casino is Roulette. I lose when I sit down and start betting, but I win, I mean win big, when I sit down for over a hour watching and recording on paper, (the frequency of each number). Then I would start betting on which one came out the most. For me it works. Wes

    Sage advice. You have to know how to be a gracious loser if you are not a professional gambler. Do not chase. Do not expect that the money you lost will come back if you play long enough. These approaches to casino play will ruin your life, let alone ruin your trip. I love what the video says about breaking even being a good thing. If the casino on the cruise has benefits, you will get something out of your time on the floor. Plus, you have all the money you came to play with.

    Never played craps but I did take a liking for roulette.. It’s entertaining just to try. Never hit big on the Slots even at home it’s relaxing to get away from the hustle and bustle plus there’s normally live entertainment close by.

    I won $3,000+ jackpot on a Buffalo Gold machine on the Carnival Vista January 2018, I had put in about 200+ over two days and I hit it early in the morning on a sea day.Needless to say I was shocked, bonus, I got free drinks in the casino. However, I only played about a few hours after winning cause I didn't want to give them the money back.

    On Carnival, you can use your Sail and Sign card in the slot machines to charge your room, then you go to the casino cage to cash out and then you avoid the 3% fee they charge for doing the same thing at the tables.

    Great video, your info is spot on. Serious gamblers typically won't play on cruises. 6-5 payout on Black Jack and the lower pay outs on the slot machines isn't going to attract big money. If 21 isn't paying 3-2, I walk. You have to, its the odds. Let the college kids chase the cards, they will learn.

    My wife and I went to Alaska inside cruises on NCL because we were Platinum and Diamond members thru Harrah's slot system. The cruise was free and had a great balcony suite. Don't get me wrong we still paid a total of around $10,000.00 for everything else. We did win and walked away with over $5,000.00 during our time at the casinos, so all in all we went on a bucket list trip to Alaska and spent just below $5,000.00 out of pocket. I call that a BIG WIN !!!!!

    My wife and I went on 3 cruises(all Norwegian) and I profited $1100 on the 1st one, $1500 on the second cruise (both playing blackjack for 3 days) and then my wife wanted to play on the 3rd cruise and try to win some money. She won $1065 profit playing a silly slot machine and I profited $565 playing next to her on a slot machine. These 2 machines were 25c and were right at the entrance to the casino. We've had very good luck on each cruise. I'm a tightwad and my plan was to not lose more than about $200 if it got bad, then stop and go have a cigar in the cigar lounge. It was great folding up all the money while going for a cigar each time.

    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.

    Went on a Carnival Cruise and the casino would choke out a nonsmoker. It was awful. To make matters worse the ship was under construction(renovations)so the only way to get to dining was through the smoke filled casino. Really left a bad feeling for the whole cruise experience.

    My wife and I cruise a lot. Mostly Royal ships some Norwegian. We gamble she enjoys certain slots and always uses our cards in the machines. We do receive the occasional free cruise for two for our play. I play craps, the pay out odds are less then a traditional land based casino but I understand how to position myself wisely. Your video is perfect for the novice. One thing I can remind everyone is it’s a cruise ship or if your a novice gambler it can be a pirate ship. Be self aware. GL

    The odds that are different on the craps table is lacking opportunity. Max odds behind for a pass line bet are only 2 times the bet. Some casinos allow up to 10 times.
