Casino on Meraviglia (slot and table costs)

[webcs44]

Anyone happen to know how much the slots and tables cost on the Meraviglia and are they cash only?

Specifically wanting to know if they have any penny/5 cent slots like at a real casino or is this just quarters or higher.
And what the normal min bets are at the tables.
Do they use cash or take it from your card?

Thanks in advance.   Just trying to gather if these casinos are just for the higher rollers, not us cheapies just looking to pull a few levers... 🙂

Let’s assume MSC ships are all similar because I’ve been on the Divina but not the Meraviglia. Yes, they have penny and nickel slots (of course the multipliers mean the true cost is $1-3 per spin). 
 

The tables vary based on traffic. I played roulette for $5 during slow periods but it bumped to $10-$15 in the evening. Blackjack and table poker games seemed to vary depending on traffic as well. 
 

I like playing Hold ‘Em and NCL had both Hold ‘Em tourney’s and Slot Pulls. I don’t remember these options on Divina. 
 

I’ve never done this but, if I wanted to play a table and it was empty I would ask the pit boss to lower the limit. $5 a hand is better than $0 IMO.

 

I usually just play with cash, but I believe I read elsewhere that people have pulled from their card and used OBC’s in the casino. Perhaps another poster can confirm this.

You can do a room charge on the slot machines and play on that money in the casino. (On Friday, for example, I used my card, which was in the slot machine, to do a $100 room charge and played on the $100. You use a PIN you’ve set up.) Returned from a three-day on Meraviglia this morning. Slot machines in a variety of denominations are well represented. Didn’t bother even looking at the table games. I posted an image of the current points/comps chart on the Cruise Casinos board. “Free” cruises start at 5,000 points. One thing not clear to me is what it takes to earn a point ($5 coin-in for a point?).

 

If you don’t pay off the room charges you made in the casino before you leave the ship, they’ll go on your credit card or debit card, depending on how you set up your onboard account, just like an onboard purchase (cocktail, shore excursion, gratuities, etc.) Hope that makes sense.

Thanks guys....great information.   Am not a gambler, when we goto a casino we never take more than $100 and just have fun and then then eat.   Take a $5 run at a roulette table a few times and some slots.   Sounds like its possible here as well.  Excellent.  Great info.

When we were on the Meraviglia in October, it was very hard to find a $5 table except during the few Happy Hour times.
