April42749 Posted February 22, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I haven't been on NCL for a year and I forget "basic casino". You put your card into the slot...and you put in cash. Do you need to get a PIN etc? (I think so...in case you want to charge to your cabin.) When you're done....you cash out...and get a ticket. The proceeds don't go on your card...just the physical ticket. Am I remembering correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted February 22, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 22, 2020 If you put your room key in the slot, the casino will track your play. When you’re done playing if you press the cash out button, you’ll get a ticket. You can use that ticket at other machines or you can take it to the ATM machine and get cash. If you pull your card out of the machine before you press the cash out button, remaining money will be put onto your room card. When you go to the next machine I put your room card in, you can get the cash out by entering your PIN (your birthdate). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine assumes you walked away and forgot your card. Actually....that's better than leaving it on the screen for someone else to claim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VideoTech Posted February 23, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 23, 2020 The "pull the card, money goes in your account" routine really confused me at first. But then I realized it's for your own protection...the assumption is that you've pulled your card and walked away, possibly before collecting your ticket, which may be printed out and sitting in the machine for anyone to take....although what gambler would do that? But as a protection for the gambler, it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
