What is the average costs for Bingo?

Asking for a friend ;)

Anyone?

I never play bingo onboard but felt badly that you haven't received an answer yet. Hang on. I'm sure you'll get the information from the many helpful people here at Cruise Critic.

No idea about the exact price. Much more expensive per game than our local Indian casinos. Princess uses daubers.

My wife plays bingo aboard ship. She always buys 6 cards to play and pays $30 for them. She takes her own dauber.

It is a Rip off.

On Regal Princess they are now using computers and paper. The computer cost too much for me. And I feel it is not worth playing against all the computers playing on paper.

I believe it was $50. or $60. to use a computer.

On the Star last month it was 30 for a pack of 6. They had smaller amounts also. The tablet was I think 45.

Not if you win. 😉

TRUDAT!!! However, they pay out a very small percentage of what they take in.

Last month on the Regal is was $15 for 1-card per game (4 games per session) and $40 for 6 cards. I don't know how much the tablet was, but they gave a free one away each session to raise interest.

how do you pay?

It's charged to your shipboard account.

You pay with your cruise card.

We paid $40 for 6 cards last year on Island, same on board Grand before that. I enjoyed the game, helps to have a good CD and a drink. Especially liked the progressive jackpot -- by the end of the cruise it can be thousands of $$$!

PS: Just got off RC Oasis, they wanted $80 to play!! Didn't happen.

i only play the last game, last day... best jackpot... minimum $20 for one card for games played that day... now electronic bingo pads allow you to play mutilple cards.. maybe as many as 6 for all games, the pad does all the work... for $60... I played with it only once... heard that those who use the pads usually win. Since I only play last day... not experience to base or valid date what i heard.

P.S. have one twice over the years the big jackpot on the last day....

How much do the regular games pay?

When on the Royal this past February, a set of 6 bingo cards (4 games) was $30. Many people were using the IPads and to be honest, it seemed to me that they were the ones winning. I chose not to make the iPad purchase. In the past, I have won several times using the papers and markers on previous cruises (I buy one bingo marker ink and bring it back for next cruise!). Cheap of me, I know, but why not?). I enjoy bingo while on board.

How much do the regular games pay?

It varies and depends on the number of people playing. The payout for each game is announced just before it starts.

Anybody else besides me kind of resent the Ipads???

They (in a nut shell) have stopped me from playing. I use to play all the time, now I don't.

Is that the computerized type bingo cards? They had that on the Allure and I really disliked it. Yes, you can play a lot more cards and it quickly shows you the ones that are close to Bingo. But to me, it makes it more of a video game, not the fun of card bingo.

I prefer the old style ball machine, not something that is computerized. I don't remember all the particulars but there was one guy on Allure that lost out on the free cruise with some tie-breaker process they had. But, he won the next game in like 6 balls. Too much of a coincidence to me. So many of the games seemed to go so quickly. Lost all of the fun to me.

Yes, definitely.
