TNIris Posted September 9, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Hi everyone! Curious as to whether the slot machines on FOS take coins as well as Sea Pass cards? Call me old-fashioned, but somehow it's just not as fun to me if I don't get to put a quarter in the slot machine! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyitsmema Posted September 9, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Hi everyone! Curious as to whether the slot machines on FOS take coins as well as Sea Pass cards? Call me old-fashioned, but somehow it's just not as fun to me if I don't get to put a quarter in the slot machine! :D Just got off FOS a week ago and I do not remember seeing any machine that would accept quarters. We put bills into the machines and they paid off with printed coupon you took to cashier. The only place I remember seeing any coins were the machines that push money and bills over the edge to pay off. Never saw those machines pay out once.

oneputt18 Posted September 10, 2013 #3 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Bills only, no coins. Seapass can't be used to gamble with. The only reason you insert it is to accumulate points for gifts.

createcolorfun Posted September 10, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 10, 2013 it had been 6 years since we cruised, and on the oasis last year it was the same thing. I'm with you, I enjoyed putting in my own quarters. I went into the casino found out it was just bills, walked out and didn't go back. So all the money allotted for the casino went elsewhere.

G85 SS Posted September 10, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 10, 2013 As others have already said, it's bills and vouchers only now. When you cash out, it prints a voucher with your amount on it and that can also be used in any of the slot machines or cashed out at the cashiers desk. The only thing, to my knowledge, that allows quarters is that stupid quarters game when you drop one quarter at a time and hope it pushes a bunch over the ledge.

Desertbelle Posted September 10, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Everyone is correct, the casinos on the ships (as well as all the casinos in Las Vegas) have gone coinless. The wear and tear on machines and the huge expense of handling coins makes it a no-brainer for casinos to say bye bye to coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNIris Posted September 10, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Does that mean all the slot machine are $1 for a pull? :eek: Or is it put in $1 and get 2 or 4 turns? I just may be too cheap for $1 slots! LOL Always wanted to try the 5 and 1 cent slots on our Carnival cruise several years ago, but there were always the same people camped out at them for what seemed like hours. :rolleyes: Those machines never did open up!

oneputt18 Posted September 10, 2013 #8 Share Posted September 10, 2013 No, they have penny, nickel, quarter etc, you just have to put a dollar bill in to start. You could bet a nickel, stop and get a 95 cent paper voucher credit. You can then insert the voucher in the next machine. .
