Alcoholic beverages free in casino

[betsie2312]

Are alcoholic beverages free in the casino (i.e., Oasis of the Seas) without drink package?

Not a chance - unless you are a highly rated player and even then I don't think the free drinks kick in until the cruise AFTER you are acceptably rated.

I was wondering the same. Had read where several people that had a comped room from club Royale had also received a drink sticker on the card before they boarded the ship.

Sure, Just need to run about ~$10K through the machines.

 

1 "point" per $5 bet,

 

first tier of rating starts at ~2400 points

Not sure where those numbers came from. If you earn 1200 points on your cruise, they should give you a VIP sticker, allowing you free drinks on the rest of your cruise and future cruises until 3/31/19. Earning points on table games is much more subjective. Even the Casino Host and Supervisors aren’t sure how the calculation is done.

Ok, so then run $5000 through the machines to get free drinks.

 

In any case if you are just looking for drinks it would be far less expensive in most cases to just buy the package, if you are going to gamble that kind of money any then its a nice perk.

 

 

the 1 point per 5 on machines has been the number thrown around for awhile

Drinks are not free unless you are a Prime Member under Casino Royale. Not sure of how to rate that, but I have rated that for the last few cruises....it is cheaper to buy the package.

The 1 tier point per $5 bet is on slots ex, poker slots. That is the way I see the calculation as I play. This concept also applies to the Caesar's properties in the US. For poker slots I est. to be between 6 & 7 bet per tier credit. Don't know about table games as it's up to the Casino Host to keep track.

Sure. Once you've lost enough money there.

Table games will very based on the expected house advantage-

 

 

Roulette will get way more points then craps or BJ. per average bet, although the decisions per hour will be lower, so in other words-

 

Who knows how they rate the tables

The tier system Casino Royale has adopted is heavily in favor of frequent cruisers.

The wife and I aren't high rollers, we budget about $600 or $700 per cruise total for the 2 of us. In our 11 cruises so far this year. Even I have achieved Prime status for next year already. The wife made it a couple of cruises ago. We don't gamble enough to make Signature status.

I'm probably not going to gamble much on our upcoming cruises till April 1 (new tier year).

They count how much you have played through the machines not how much you put in them. So if you can get on a machine that is paying back a decent amount you can earn a lot of points. My wife has been on a machine for 3 hours. At 60 cents a spin on a single $20 bill. Down to about 3 or 4 dollars then up to $30 or so. Never enough to walk, not enough to cash out either. In that session she earned close to 200 points. 400 gets you rated. 1000 gets you free drinks.

There are a lot of people that bet a lot more than we do. But we cruise more than 12 times a year. 210 points each cruise gets us to Prime status which includes a free 8 night or less cruise (inside cabin) and free drinks in the casino for the year.

The poker machines earn 1 point for $10 through the machine. The table games don't amount to much unless you are betting $50 or more a hand.

Then we'd all be gambling.....cheaper to buy a drink package then to wait and get "comp'd" free drinks in the casino.

You’re absolutely correct. I apologize for my misinformation.

[John&LaLa]

Laura's prime I'm not. Occasionally a host will give me a drink sticker. Nice perk

It's the length of play that is also important in the calculation.

not on machines, machine only care about the amount bet-

 

1 $1000 spin gives the same points as 1000 $1 spins

Not so. 1 spin @ $1,000 and you lose, gives you only equivalent tier points. However, 1,000 spins @ $1 each can provide you with an unknown quantity of tier points, unless you lose at every spin.

 

By the way, I was responding to table games.:D

actually you are wrong

 

 

$1000 worth of $1 spins is still $1000 worth of spins-

 

you might still have $900 left in credits becuase you have won some spins but you have only earned $1000 worth of points because you have only wagerd $1000 total

 

now if you continue to play off those credits then yes you will earn more points as you will have then wagered more then $1000.

 

Same as if you had won $30,000 on the $1000 dollar spin, you would have earned points on the amount wagered i.e.$1000

 

 

if you play back the winning then you will earn point for those wagers

 

but the fact remains that you will earn the exact same amount of points for 1 $1000 spin as you will for 1000 $1 spins.

I'm not wrong and in your clarification basically agree with me. Let me give you an example. If you bet the entire wad($1k) on a single spin and you lose you get the tier equivalent of $1,000 only. Same example and you win to double your stake, therefore, if you keep playing and if you never win another spin, you have accumulated $2k in tier credits.

 

If you are saying that the initial $1k earns the same amounts of tier credit, that is not what you indicated in your initial statement.

you are wrong because you are not talking about the same thing- you are talking about placing some arbitrary dollar amount worth of bets based on the possibility of winnig some of your bets.

lets say you have $1000 dollars to play with and reinvest all of your winning spins so that after 6 hours you have placed $3000 worth of bets-

you took six hours to earn those points-

I walk in and place 1 single $3000 dollar bet on a machine and either lose or cash out after the spin.

i was in the casino for 15 seconds and eraned the exact same points as you did.

The amount of time you spend on the machines is completly irrelevent to the epoints earned, all that matters is the dollar amount bet in total.
