to play the "wheel of fortune" slot machine in the camel club casino, they will be a winner. The reason i say that you have to have guts is because you may drop 3-4 hundred bucks before you get the big payoff spin..your first few will be for 40 bucks or so and it will drive ya wacky, but if you hang in there you will get paid. i watched all week and saw a few people drop about 3 hundred and give in. the next guy invariably hit it big.

So have you booked your next cruise to play the wheel?

Do those who have lost $$$ ever post? For every winner, there are countless losers! In the long run, the only ones who come out ahead are the casinos (or cruise lines).

I don't even bother to play anymore....I just go in and hand the casino manager my money and then go back to the lido deck. Saves time for other activities;) :D

Wendy hit 150.00 on the first spin. 3 dollars... On the Spirit lots of people were winning on wheel of fortune. One lady hit the Jackpot on the last day.

On the Holiday back in 04 it was a $1 machine as it was last summer on the Victory. I didn't play it on the Holiday, but one afternoon on the Victory I quietly slipped in a C note and didn't even get one bonus spin! The next day I hit $450 on a different machine, but I'll stay away from the WOF, or at least limit myself to just a few spins.

Wow!! Guess the nickel slots don't quite pay out much do they? I will probably only allot maybe $20 a day for entertainment. We are not gamblers so we'll just put some in the nickel slots and hope to win maybe our $20 back. Wish I had the guts and the $$$ to bet big like you guys :)

Thanks for your honesty! We enjoy the casino as well and know that what we lose in $$$ is made up in fun that we have had. Human nature is interesting though and many folks have the perception that they come out ahead when in actuality they do not. Over the years we have lost money on the slots but won it back by investing in gaming stocks!:)

I only play positive expectation video poker machines, and there aren't any on cruise ships, so I stay out of the cruise ship casinos.:D

 

If I lost $800 in the cruise ship casino - that is a whole nother cruise I would be losing - actually a cruise and about $50, since they usually cost me about $750. I'd rather go on another cruise than lose $800!:D

 

But to each his own!;)

Positive expectation poker machines are a dying breed. The best you can sometimes do on cruise ships are 5,6 Jacks or Better, a lousy return!
