FaeCruisers Posted July 27, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2011 What is the most you've seen someone win in a Carnival Casino? Some of their slot machines have massive progressive bonus's, I can't imagine them having that kind of cash on board should someone win it.

Crazy4Koko Posted July 27, 2011 #2 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Some one on our Freedom roll call in October 09 won something like $1600 in a slot pull....first pull! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okwriter Posted July 27, 2011 #3 Share Posted July 27, 2011 On the Ecstasy on our late April/early May cruise, a lady won ~$2,500 by hitting a royal flush on a progressive video poker game. She did it TWICE during the five-day cruise! On land (no, you didn't ask, but...) we saw a lady win $10,000 last Sunday on a Lucky Duck $1 slot machine. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMaster Posted July 27, 2011 #4 Share Posted July 27, 2011 One of our cruises last year, (I think it was "Miracle") a lady hit the slot for the BMW auto! I never did hear if she took the car, or the cash. "SKY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bar1068 Posted July 27, 2011 #7 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) A gal on our Carnival Pride cruise earlier this month hit for $5000, on a .02 cent slot machine.That machine was pretty busy the rest of the week. Last year another woman our the Pride hit for something like $8000 at a gaming table, one of the poker games I believe.

PSkinner Posted July 27, 2011 #8 Share Posted July 27, 2011 On Destiny in 2001, DH won $1500 first night (on slots). While he was waiting on the pay-out DS won $500. On Voyager of the Sea the following year I won $650 from Slot Tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmptrwiz Posted July 27, 2011 #9 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Last year someone on our ship won a free cruise playing Bingo. Oh I guess that happens every cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennLuvs2Cruise Posted July 27, 2011 #10 Share Posted July 27, 2011 On our 2010 Dream cruise, my mom won $2,600 playing the penny machine. She had a dollar on her, put it in and bet the whole dollar and hit. And this was after my fiancé played $60 on that same machine and didn't even get a penny! On the last sea day of our cruise, I won $1,500 playing the Cash Craze pull tabs!! Very exciting :) That paid the deposit for our cruise last month ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okgirl Posted July 27, 2011 #11 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Wonder what the cash was if she didn't take the BMW? The cash prize is $25,000. In 2008 on 3 different ships I won $1000, $2000 and $2500....those wins paid for our cruises in 2009 and part of 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Doug Posted July 27, 2011 #12 Share Posted July 27, 2011 On a cruise last year someone won a BMW and elected to take the car. I doubt they have a BMW stached out down in the cargo hold. Same with the mega jackpots, I would expect payment would be in some sort of check. Even in most land based casino's winnings over a certain abount are paid in cash.

screwsmcernst Posted July 27, 2011 #13 Share Posted July 27, 2011 On our last cruise, I had great luck. Every night I would take $1 in quarters to the casino. I won every time. $25 first slot and so on. I also played roulette. I won enough on that cruise to pay for all of our excursions, plus a burbon tasting one night for my husband, and I had money left over. It was a lot of fun expecially since I am not a big gambler. My husband on the other hand is a "Cooler". He can't win to save his life. Plus people will lose if he is around them. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisePimp101 Posted July 27, 2011 #14 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) A few years ago, 9 other cruisers and I managed to take around a combined $7,500 off the craps table in one evening. I walked out about $600 ahead just playing $5 on the pass line with odds. The MDR was not the only place serving up hot rolls that evening. :D Edited July 27, 2011 by CruisePimp101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told me some guy had won on a particular $1 slot, so we sat down at it and he had me bet the max ($3). Couple of spins later, I hit $1,080! That paid our entire S&S bill for the week (including my gambling). :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumorgan Posted July 27, 2011 #18 Share Posted July 27, 2011 On every cruise I've taken I have seen several people win $1,000 or more playing the slots. They are certainly not tight machines. The most I won was $150 on a slot pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdminark Posted July 27, 2011 #19 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I think it was on our 2002 or 2003 cruise a friend of ours hit the $1 slots for 16,000 on the first night after the welcome aboard show, the casino manager paid some but told him they did not have enough cash yet and would pay more as the week went on, needless to say he got about 1/2 in cash the rest in a check.

Chris64 Posted July 27, 2011 #22 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Twice. A couple of years ago, one of the other people in our group won $4,000 on video poker. In May/June of this month, on the Insperation, a gentleman hit the jackpot on slots and had his choice of a BMW or $25,000. He took the BMW. They give you some kind of a voucher.

cruisin53 Posted July 28, 2011 #23 Share Posted July 28, 2011 My cruise on the Ecstasy last November, I won 6,000 on a slot machine the first hour the casino opened after setting sail. I was so thrilled that it hit the first night of the cruise.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
