2Cruise4Ever Posted September 27, 2005 #1 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I got back yesterday from Fascination's 3 day Bahama cruise. And, though we had an absolute blast and LOVED this cruise, the highlight was Saturday night (well, early Sunday morning). I was just about to leave the casino when I stopped at a 25 cent slot machine and decided to throw one last $20 in. On the third pull, guess what showed up??? Triple Diamone, Triple Diamond, and you guessed it, Triple Diamond!!!! Whaaaaa Hooooooo!!!!:D My only regret was I had only bet 1 quarter. But, hey, 800 quarters is still nothing to sneeze at. Anyway, I just thought I'd share with you all that slots do pay out after all!!! I'll post my review later today. It really was wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrendaB1 Posted September 27, 2005 #3 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Congratulations. :D #1 rule of gambling is betting the max for maximum payout. Just think, you could have payed for another cruise with the top prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newsgirl Posted September 27, 2005 #6 Share Posted September 27, 2005 On our January Glory cruise, my mom won $600 one night playing bingo and $1,800 the next night after putting 4 quarters into a random slot machine! Talk about luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathyoo Posted September 27, 2005 #7 Share Posted September 27, 2005 The Inspiration will always have a special place in my heart. I won $600 the first night at Bingo, my sil won $300 the next night and my sister was known as the "nickel queen" by half of the other cruisers for her incredible luck on the nickel machines. She won a total of $580. Whenever I talk about how much I love the Inspiration I wonder if my luck was part of the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbag124 Posted September 27, 2005 #9 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Congratulations. :D #1 rule of gambling is betting the max for maximum payout. Just think, you could have payed for another cruise with the top prize. Congrats!.....I couldnt agree more....stories like this are the EXACT reason why I always play the max bet...if I have one quarter left in a machine, and no extras to throw in, I'll cash it out and play it somewhere else later, OR (this is what usually happens)...I'll root around and put in an extra $5, $10, $20....and THEN if I come down to only 1 or 2 quarters again, I'll cash it out. :) You never know! And I REALLY don't want to miss out on that jackpot that I am so sure I will win one day!! :rolleyes: :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted September 27, 2005 #10 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Congratulations! Though, I must admit, when I read the thread title (JACKPOT) I envisioned a figure well "north" of $200. Something more like 5 or 6 figures!!! But hey, that is still extra SPENDING $$$ :) Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueHerons Posted September 27, 2005 #12 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Congrats! I went to Atlantic City a couple of years ago on a comp trip with a girlfriend and her mother (who spends thousands gambling which is why it was a comp trip) and won every time I touched a machine. I spent every penny of my winnings in the Chanel boutique buying a handbag and sunglasses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbaqua Posted September 27, 2005 #13 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Congratulations! My dh and I both did excellant on the slots on the Ecstacy on our last cruise. I was shocked, we usually lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mamiamjo Posted September 27, 2005 #15 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Anytime you come away a winner, that's a good thing. The biggest jackpot I ever won was on the Ecstasy. I won a $1,200. jackpot on the slots. There definitely are winners even on the cruise ships. (or else nobody would gamble) Congrats again, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinkletoes4445 Posted September 27, 2005 #17 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Congratulation!!! It's always fun to win.... :) I won $5,000 on the same type of machine (after 4 pulls-$20) in Las Vegas. I picked it because I thought the diamonds were pretty. Hubby thought I was nuts. I got the last laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubdaddy Posted September 27, 2005 #18 Share Posted September 27, 2005 That sounds like us. The last night of our Valor cruise I talked my DW into our last chance at Bingo. Well, we won and so did 3 others. Though it would have been nice to get the $1000, $250 was still a nice way to end a great cruise.
