shack Posted January 14, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Maybe ask for a discount on cigarettes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted January 14, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Curious how you know you gamble enough for rewards, but don't know what their reward criteria is. Perhaps you don't gamble enough? Is spending being credited to your account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbiSox Posted January 14, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) The best way to find out anything about Casino offers is to ask the Casino Manager when you are on a sail. They have the final say in everything. They even have authority to give you free play, and free drinks while you are playing in the casino. It's up to them, bottom line. If you wnat to receive offers, ask how to get them. You may be pleasantly surprised. On a recent cruise, my husband and I were handed a pile of cash, and a coupon for a totally free photo package, no strings attached.

BobbiSox Posted January 14, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 14, 2023 BYW, 'gambling' is not politcally correct anymore. The new term is 'gaming'. Just sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL for over 30 years I did business with Las Vegas Hotels & Casinos & it was always known as gambling now they want to call it gaming .Perhaps the damage that it can cause some who can't control the habit, it now males it more publicly acceptable to call it gaming 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never play the other table games because they are just bad odds I do take money away than leave money there . It is because of my gaming knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some times for those who smarten up .This is why it was also known as Lost Wages .The smoking gets so bad that any one who breathes that crap in is testing their own health .Many casinos have non smoking sections & not just in Vegas but the Indian Casinos as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrcruiser Posted January 14, 2023 Author #12 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Seems to me that the odds are far better to want the non smokers vs those who light up coffin nails in any casino these days . Perhaps 10 to 15 % of the population in the States still smoke cancer sticks .Thus , 85% to 90% are non smokers .Most non smokers will stay out of the ship casinos just because it lingers in the air & on their clothes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good question but one that you probably won't get an answer from HAL. It's likely that the cruise lines keep their comp criteria close-hold because they don't want to tip off their competition on their business model. I didn't spend a penny in the casino or on any gaming on our last 2 HAL cruises yet I just got a free inside stateroom offer a few days ago. Apparently it's not just level of gaming that triggers free cruise offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have gotten many free perks like free gratuities plus free drink packages & free Wifi from Celebrity .Admit we have sailed more with Celebrity than HAL ;but we are 3 star mariners with HAL .Elite Plus with Celebrity .We are yet to receive a free balcony with Celebrity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrcruiser Posted January 14, 2023 Author #15 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Seems to me that there are free cruise give aways from certain Vegas Casinos . Perhaps I need to ask my friends in Vegas about those give away deals .My wifes cousin in up state NY gets many free casino giveaways for his slot play in Atlantic city which includes Free cruises ,Free land trips ,free gifts ,free gas credit cards free rooms & meals while playing the slots .I saw the copies of checks he won ,one was $36000 & one was $22000 from the slot play .while staying free at the hotel they also see free shows Me thinks that the cruise industry is stingy when comparing the above to anything the cruise lines give out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
