Rex and Cathy,

Hi there, if you're still watching this thread, I would love to get a copy of your spreadsheet. I'm organizing a slot pull on my upcoming Celebrity cruise. I've got about 40 registered so far and I'm having organizational anxiety! My email is CLS711 @ aol . com.

 

Thanks!:)

Cameron.

I am still monitoring this site and the spread sheet will be on it's way to you very quickly. Email me back if you have questions.

We had a slot pull on the Golden and our group loaded the entire pool amount into one machine and we pulled until that sum was exhausted. We never touched the credits, which were cashed out and everyone ended up with a dollar in the end. It was fun but went very very fast. We all just stared at each other like "is that it" and went our separate ways. Since that is a real possibility, maybe make some kind of a progressive reinvest with some/all winnings into a larger possible payout on a different machine (within reason of course) and make the slot pull last more than 5 minutes. just a thought!

The first time I did this we had about 80 people and everyone mingled and talked while others were taking their turns on the machine. I guess it had helped too that we had had a Meet And Greet several days prior and everyone got to know the other people then. It took us about 1 1/2 hours to complete the whole thing and we created a large commotion in the casino. It was fun.

I would love the spreadsheet if you could e-mail it to me as I am co-planning the Slot Pull for our TA. My e-mail is itsgeemail (at) gmail (dot) com.

 

Thanks

The spreadsheet is on it's way to you.

Hey Ann....appreciate the info on the slot pull. We are going to do this on the Crown Princess in less than two weeks. Would certainly appreciate a spread sheet too if possible !

 

You can email it to: fun2cruiz@aol.com THANKS IN ADVANCE !!!

Have sent you the email with the spreadsheet and some more info.

Ann, this is so helpful. Would love the spreadsheet, please send to me at: jerbeth2@gmail.com. Perhaps a silly question, but is there a particular reason why you would track how much people win for the group? Beth

Beth,

The extra money above the even dollars will be awarded to the player who gets the group the highest amount on their slot pulls. Each person’s winnings will be recorded at the time of their pulls so we know who will get the side pot of the money after the even dollar pay-out.

Let me explain this - Yes, I have tracked the amount won for the group by individuals because we have never paid out cents on the Slot Pull. Only even money. So there is bound to be left over money and that goes to the one person who won the most over-all.

Say you have 30 people in the Slot Pull and at the end there is $853 in the machine. $853 divided by 30 people is $28.3333 each. But you are only going to give them back $28.00 each as you do not want to pay all the change to each one. So if you give $28 to 30 people, that is $840. But you had a total on the machine of $853 so you have an extra $13 and that, in additon to their $28, goes to the person who won the group the most.

You should also have a very small calulator so you can figure the even amount for each person and tell the cashier that you want 30 piles of $28 each and then the extra $$$. They are more than happy to give you the correct amount for each person. This eliminates all the change.

I will send you the spreadsheet to your email also.

I absolutely agree that I would not give the Casino advance warning of your arrival. I have run 2 slot pulls on 2 different ships. I never notified the Casino Manager in advance other than when we all walked into the casino. IMHO this gives them less time to "possibly" set the machine to pay off less. Maybe you would miss out on a free drink but I would rather win lots of money. The Casino manger and her staff were excellant when they saw so many people who were going to participate.

Here is what I posted on Cruise Critic on the thread for our cruise:

HOW DOES IT WORK? - Everyone who wants to participate will bring their $15.00 to the meeting spot. You will each get five (5) pulls on a dollar slot machine that utilizes $3.00/pull. The winning money will accumulate in the machine and that will be divided among the participants at the end of all pulls. The payoffs will be in even dollars.

The extra money above the even dollars will be awarded to the player who gets the group the highest amount on their slot pulls. Each person’s winnings will be recorded at the time of their pulls so we know who will get the side pot of the money after the even dollar pay-out.

WHEN WILL WE DO THIS? - We will meet XXXXXXXXX @ XXX on the starboard side of the casino Fiesta Deck 6 just outside the Casino. We will all go into the Casio together and start our play.

Payoffs will be handled immediately afterwards and handed out to all who joined in the Slot Pull.

· If you wish to participate, please give me your name and cabin # in case there is any change at all in the schedule and I can notify you. We need more people to make this lots of fun, so please join in. This is what I need for those who want to participate:

o Your names – first names only for each person who is going to participate.

o Your cabin # in case there is any change in plans and I can call and leave a message in your cabin

If you do not want to post that information here, you can email me at XXXXXXXX

By having this information in advance, I can make up a chart at home to track names the amount each person wins on their pulls.

I also have an Excel spread sheet that you can print in advance to track how much each person won for the group. If you will give me your email address, I will forward that spread sheet.

These are always great fun.
