For all my CC Gamblers:

 

What was your biggest take on a cruise?

Cruise line/ Game and Amt.

 

(I hope this will be a fun thread)

I'm sure this is probably nothing compared to what some of you have probably won, but hubby and I were very happy to walk away with about $500 from the Fun 21 table. It's a variation of blackjack where they take out the queens. Odds are different but you are offered other perks.

About 4 years ago out of Galveston there was a sign up for drawing later that night for spa packages, gift baskets ect. in the casino. We all signed up and came back at 9 pm for the drawing.

 

While waiting for the drawing to begin I put $20 in a nickle poker machine. I don't play slots often and this was some sort of progressive machine that kept asking if I wanted to douple up, triple up. I had no clue what I was doing so just kept hitting yes.

 

All of a sudden everything starts lighting up and my SIL gets really excited. I see it is telling me I won a X amount of coins but being a nickle machine and not concentrating on the math, I assumed it might be a couple hundred $ and wondered how long I would have to wait before the attendant came over. It turned out to be $1,500.

 

When I found out the amount I said 'damn" much to my SIL's surprise. She asked what the problom was. I told her if it had been under $1,200 I wouldn't have had to pay taxes on it. She thought I had lost my mind.

 

Trust me though, I have put back that $1,500 many times overs on cruises since then.

RCCL 900.00 blackjack, CCL Fantasy 1500.00 1.00 machine I think it was sizzling 7s

[rdrseller]

Many years ago and I think it was on the Holiday, I dropped one single dollar coin in a machine (yes, before you did it with your sail and sign) and hit the big one..... Unfortunately, I had only dropped 1 coin in and got $500 would have been a whole lot more, it I had been betting all 3.

 

But hey...it was a win. Like a previous poster...I have long given that back and much much more...hahahaha

Several years ago on the Miracle I watched a guy hit two royals playing dollar video poker in about a 45 minute span

$1,100 on the Legend on a $1 slot machine on the last sea day.

I'm usually a penny slot player but DH heard that someone else had won on that $1 machine earlier in the week.

I sat down and put in $20 and he encouraged me to max bet ($3).

A few spins later, it went to some kind of wheel bonus and showed I won $1,100!

Being a penny slot player, it took a bit for it to sink in how much it was! :)

[FlipFlopCruiser]

$1040.00 on a dollar machine on the Legend.

Only put $10.00 in it.

Put i put wayyyyyy more in all of the other machines all week! LOL

[wrigley80]

I won $500.00 on the Legend in December playing the quarter slots. And I came right home and booked another cruise with my winnings. And now we leave on our next cruise next Saturday :)

I'm not really a gambler but all of you are making me want to try my luck with the one arm bandit!

[Dall]

On Oasis of the Seas:o....I won $900 on the wheel of fortune with max bets of $3 per spin.:)

[keishashadow]

wow, some nice tokes:D. My best on a ship was slightly under $200 on a slot machine.

 

imo if you walk away from a casino even you're a winner;)

That more than counts! Unfortunatly, I would spend more than the cost of the cruise in the casino..lol

On first cruise, hit royal flush and won $1,000 (not since). Best table win was playing three card poker $5 a bet and was down to last 25 so I played $15 on pair plus bet and got a straight flush. Paid over $600, it was the last day of the cruise so I did not have time to give it back. That was nice.
