Slots about 5 bucks...

 

BUT in 2006 I walked up to a quarter machine (back when they took quarters and paid in cash). Put in a quarter and the machine would not take it.

 

Looked closer and saw the cash out light was on, so hit the button and it kicked out just under $270.00 in quarters!! filled a bucket to the top! and paid half of my next cruise!!:D

What's the most YOU ever won gambling on a cruise?

 

I bought in for $300 and I cashed out for $3,700 after a memorable session at the craps table on the Glory. I don't remember which cruise (we've been on Glory twice), but it was a few years ago. I ended up winning a couple of thousand (had to give some back!) for the cruise.

In Sept of 04 on the Victory ( our first cruise) walked through the casino and my husband put 1 quarter in the slot machine. Started dinging and we did not know what was going on. Paid out 316.00. Paid for our on board expenses. I miss the quarters in the buckets. Was so much fun.

I always lose in the casino (I feel like it is part of my entertainment so I don't mind the loss). I did win at Bingo twice on my Spirit cruise. Oddly enough, on the same card. I think that probably used up my luck for the next 15 years :)

2 years ago I took my parents on a cruise on the Valor..Now get this..My Dad NEVER NEVER gambles...I was playing black jack and he was watching...he asked me if I was to play a slot what would it be...I told him "Wheel of Fortune" $1 machine and not to be cheap and play the max...$3 bet....he came back within 5 minutes smiling....I said "Wow, did ya lose it all that quick".....he handed me a receipt....he had hit the "wheel" for $1000!!!!! I usually play black jack myself...the most i've ever one was a week total of around 700....hell, paid the bar tab!

grand total of -$200. The casino is something I really do not do much. I go in with 100 and play for double or nothing. So far i am down 200, but I have had fun doing it. I usually play a few hands of everything at table min and a few slots that look fun.

What were you playing (table games, slots...)?

How much per play ($1 slots, $5 black jack, etc)?

How much did you win?

What night of the cruise was it?

 

Just curious, excited to gamble one week from tomorrow! :D:D:D

 

I won $200 at a quarter slots machine.

Wife & I won at least 6 and probably more $400 pots playing quarter keno slots on the Elation. Took pictures but don't have access at the moment.

This was our first and only cruise, so far. :)

$400-something on Destiny (gave $100+ back because it was first night).

$200-something on Caribbean Princess (most given back, again first night).

Lost everywhere else.

RCI's casinos have been particularly cruel to me for some reason as a matter of fact, I don't even want to play on them any more - only lasted about 15 minutes in September.

On the Carnival Imagination in 2005, I sat down and played Black Jack for the first time. I am a Roulette girl and a Texas Hold Em girl. But, there was this man having a blast sitting at a blackjack table and he kept egging me on to leave my roulette table and join him.

 

I must have been sitting there for several hours. There were things I wanted to do but I was on a winning streak so I just sat there and even skipped dinner.

 

I walked away with a little over 4k and only took 25 bucks to the table with me. Plus had hours of entertainment.

 

Went back the last day of the cruise and bet 500 dollars on black on roulette and won so I doubled that up too.
