Travelcat2 Posted September 18, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 18, 2019 The casino is rather small - and, on Mariner it is more hidden than on other Regent ships. Agree with last poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henk123 Posted September 19, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Because our cruise on Mariner is "almost" there I just received an nice link from regent: https://www.rssc.com/virtualmariner You can have a virtual visit to the casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrJ Berkshire Posted September 19, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Yes there is , but its almost wasted space on many cruises with very few takers. On Navigator this summer I almost felt sorry for the casino staff siting there night after night doing nothing, as you walk through the Navigator casino to go to the top of the theatre. 100days on Regent never visited so lost nothing, would rather have another cruise, it's a mugs game as the ship is never is the red , only the punters lose!! On Navigator feel this space could be better used, bigger lounge for the pianist, comfy sofa's etc. On Mariner the casino is well away from busy areas, and is easily avoided with the stage stairway to stars nightclub.

Ten Regent cruises and I haven’t played a single casino game. Of course, I go to Vegas and don’t gamble so I’m probably an exception. I’d be happy if they did away with the casino and brought the Connoisseur Club back. Edited September 20, 2019 by UUNetBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have to move the magnifying "thing" (don't know what it is called) in order to properly see it.

Henk123 Posted September 20, 2019 #13 Share Posted September 20, 2019 On the Azamara ships the casino's are removed. Maybe a good thing to do on Regent also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrlevin Posted September 21, 2019 #18 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Definitely have blackjack tournaments. Mariner Casino and Stars Nightclub are wonderful venues connected by a circular staircase. I frequently go into the casino just to use that staircase; shortcut from Deck 7 to Deck 6. Marc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sontara1 Posted September 21, 2019 #20 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Not a big gambler, but took advantage of the casino on a recent sailing on Mariner. Compared to Las Vegas, or other traditional casinos, it was great being able to play in a relatively "quiet" environment. No constantly ringing bells, screaming stickmen, etc. People could actually have pleasant conversations without shouting. Oh, and I won a little.

orvil Posted October 7, 2019 #22 Share Posted October 7, 2019 UUNetBill, Last winter when we all were on Voyager, there was a couple that lit up the casino. You had already gone to bed after karaoke. We wandered past the casino and a young lady was dropping chips on every roulette square and some other combinations. She had stacks of chips on the table. This went on for a few nights running. We watched because we were trying to figure out her method. She was clutching a large bundle of $100 bills. We never could tell if she was ahead or behind. As far as I am concerned, they can drop the tables overboard. Given that they are onboard, someone is using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each their own...I’d rather save my $£€¥ to take more cruises, not donate it to the casino while I’m on board. But that’s me, I guess. I hope there’ll be some fun Karaoke on board this winter. 🎤🤪 🔊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hammo Posted October 31, 2019 #24 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Just read on a post here that we will not be able to use our OBC in the casino -- is that correct . Obviously our first Regent Cruise and this was a surprise as we usually donate the OBC there on other cruise lines.🥴 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
