Casino payout money/coins, free drinks

[Kaboochi]

Has rccl gone to paper tickets or are still using coin cash out. Also, do they have the ncl or ccl free casino drink system?

You will find a mix of coin and paper slots.

 

You would be better off jumping in the ocean to get a free drink than wait for Royal to comp a drink to you.

Serenade still has coins, that was fun. Haven't played with a bucket of quarters in a while.

Didn't see any slot machines dishing out coins on the Allure last week. We play a lot in the casino and there were no free drinks either. At the end of the week we cashed in our points that tallied up on our seapass and got cash back for that. Have a great cruise!

Liberty was tickets if I recall. Don't remember seeing any coin buckets.

They gave me free drinks on the Freedom last summer- all you have to do is ask the casino manager.

Allure and Oasis are paper tickets.

Last May Explorer had both.............

[Jimnbigd]

Mariner of the Seas had both last December. Of course, most of the time the money goes in and nothing comes out. :(

BTW- On occassion a well tipped casino bartender will result in "free" drinks.....

Wish I knew form experience how they paid out.:)

Jewel and Navigator had some machines that paid out in coins while others paid out in vouchers. Check to see which is which before you sit down to play or you may have to scurry around looking for a bucket if it turns out that you are at a machine that pays in coins. :)

I have come to the conclusion that I prefer the machines that pay out in vouchers because it is easier to move from one machine to another without lugging a bucket of coins and reinserting them one by one, and my hands end up far less dirty when I haven't been handling a bucket full of quarters.

My DH usually does the slot tourny and blackjack tourny. The cruise director or helper working the event usually gives him a free drink coupon. They should after a couple buy-ins :p

Adventure still pays out in quarters. Found it a little annoying since I am used to the vouchers in Atlantic City. The first time I went I wanted to break a hundred dollar bills so I put in the machine thinking I would play $20 and then get a voucher to cash in the rest. Wrong - got $80 in quarters. I will say it was a little exciting though when I won $250 on one machine and had to enlist my husband and brother-in-law to help scoop up all the quarters!!

actually EX has both..they installed about 100 coinless machines when we were there in mid november....

Independance had a lot of those ticket things last month. You put your sea pass in to play.

 

Would have liked to play but did not have a clue how to work them!

 

Too many flashing lights and too many buttons etc. What happened to the old ones where you just pulled the handle or pushed one button and that was that?

[cruisenfever]

Slots on Enchantment pay out in a ticket.

Sounds like me. I keep saying never again, but you know how that goes.

Sorry for the misinformation! All the penny slots we paid back in May were only coins. Good to see that RCL does upgrade the slots periodically.

Nothing like carrying around a 50 pound bucket of quarters!
