Changes in Triumph's Casinos, Other Ships Too?

[AngAndBoys]

Hi all, I was on Triumph on April 30 cruise. Went at end of January as well. Between January and April, they got rid of an entire pit of table games, the ones in the back, by the sports bar, were gone. The automated blackjack tables, also gone. Carribean Stud, gone. The did add a Texas Hold Em table game that was fun. It appears they added a game machine the kind with the claw that you try to grab stuff, it is full of bundles of money. During embarkation I saw them unwrap some brand new machines and set them up. I think they were the new style animated type and I didn't pay any mind to the denomination.

 

Overall, the change appears to add more slots and less tables. It WAS a little harder to find an open table game at peak hours, but not impossible.

 

Anyone seen any similar changes on other ships? Or heard anything about this?

This makes sense from their perspective. Slots pay out far less than table games. They can use that space and make a heck of a lot more money if they put in slots. Even those claw games are better money earners. Those things ALWAYS have someone playing them and usually a huge crowd watching. It isn't a game of skill, as people think it is. It set to pay out much like a slot. You aren't going to be able to pick up one of those stacks until it is ready to pay out.
