Inveterate Cruiser Posted September 15, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I have been trying to research VP JoB pay tables on the various cruise lines. Based on what I have seen on Carnival Vista and what I have found on CC, here is the info I have obtained right now: (Correct as at 15 Sep 2022) Carnival : 6/5 (5% House edge) Celebrity: (Single-line) Modified 7-5 (8.6% HE) ; Multi-line 6-5 (5% HE) RCL: 6/5 (5% HE) 0.25 denom ; 8/5 (1.4% HE) $10/25 denom Anyone has different info for the above? Any info for NCL (heard it was 99% for $25 denom), Princess, MSC and Holland America? Thanks in advance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KarmaCruisers Posted September 16, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 16, 2022 On the Sky Princess we found 7/5 Bonus Poker (98.01%) for $1 denom ($5 a hand). Best vp we’ve seen on a cruise ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, most of the JoB machines in the Casino Annex were 6/5, but I think there was one machine that had 8/5 on a multi deck Bonus Poker or Bonus Poker Deluxe. Unfortunately, the 8/5 machine also had Keno, so it was usually occupied. The 6/5 machines were 25 cents minimum, and the 8/5 machine was either 10 cents or 25 cents minimum. Edited to add that the JoB machines also had other games. Edited December 29, 2022 by HarborHermit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippian Posted May 28, 2023 #7 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I was on the NCL Breakaway about a month ago. The JOB machines were 8-5 at the quarter and dollar level (97.30%) and 8-6 at the $5 level (98.39%) which is about as good a vp machine as you will find on a cruise ship. I played a quarter Double Bonus machine and the quarter paytable was 9-6-4, or a 96.38% return with perfect play; I suspect dollars are the same. I don't know the $5 paytable. Double Double Bonus, 25 cents, 9-5, 97.87% return; $1 and $5 unknown. I think this makes the Double Double Bonus the best play in the casino for quarters. If the $5 version improves the payout to 9-6 (98.98%) it is likely the best game on the seas. But oh, the volatility! The above figures are for "perfect" play. Most players will lose an additional 5-7%. Reasonably good players will lose an additional 2-4%. Really good players will still likely lose an extra half percent or so. The reason I have all of these numbers is because about a year ago I started taking a photo of every quad hand, as well as straight flushes and royals. It's clearly a habit I need to continue. If a cruise line has better paytables than these, I'd love to know it. There were a lot of things I didn't like about NCL, but when the other lines are holding out an extra two or three percent on coin-in I'll go with NCL.
