Rigged craps games

[Wrubin2323]

I am an experienced gambler who has been kicked out of numerous casinos in Vegas for counting cards.  I feel that NCL casinos are suspicious to say the least.  On the first night of all the five cruises I've been on they announce a big slot winner@  What a coincidence.  At the craps tables I've seen shills-phony gamblers planted by the casinos with lot of chips to make you think the table is hot and encourage you to gamble.  On a 11 day cruise we had large winnings first night at craps table then lost on all succeeding nights.  I've witnessed dice thrown, stopped then turned over to sevens many many times.  On NCL cruises I'd advise you to avoid them entirely.

Where can I go to apply to be a shill-phony gambler? Sounds like a fun way to kill a few hours on a sea day.

I might be famous now because of my less-than-favorable opinion of NCL gambling.   All I will do now is just nod.

I think I get 150 freeplay from NCL for the casino.  If craps is rigged where would you recommend I blow it?

           Did we really need a card counter to tell us that playing in the casino is a losing proposition?  Just reinforces what we all knew. Glad people help support the cost of the cruise by giving extra money.

Actually, sounds like someone who lost a lot money, despite considering themselves as a professional gambler. And it couldn’t be that he lost. Just that the casino is rigged against him.

Always good to have a second opinion.  Anybody else notice these shenanigans at the craps table?

Was on the Joy this week, the craps table was HOT.

I heard NCL craps was just single odds, so I probably wouldn't spend much time there anyway.  Does anybody know if they have a bubble craps machine on the Encore?

I’ve gone both ways.  Still down overall!  Same cruise…hot on craps table in the afternoon…cold the same night.  Black Jack the same!

 

Never seen dice suspiciously turn!

 

I mostly play Hold’Em cash games, though.

 

Every big loser in any casino I’ve observed always blames crooked dealers, crooked cards, crooked dice, crooked players!

 

Or, they get really drunk and really stupid when they play!

No. But pretty much every cruise notice people who have enjoyed their beverage package waaaaay too much and do a lot of stupid things in the casino.

How does one identify a shill gambler?

 

If the dice were mysteriously changing to 7, did you start placing big pass line bets on the come out roll?  Obviously with advanced knowledge of skewed rolls you can bet to take advantage of it.

Just in the casino?

I will try and use my casino freeplay before I try and break the Guinness world record for most pints of Guinness consumed in a week.

If you are on a ship with a district brew house, you can get your name up on the leader board for trying the most different types of beer they have there.

Nope, it will only be Guinness for me.  But I will look to see if your name is still posted up on the board and let you know.

Not seeing Guinness on the list of available beers. Does the Brewhouse have it?

Bird told me they did. But we'll see when we get there I suppose. If they actually know how to serve it properly is another matter entirely.

When I was on the Getaway in January I noticed rampant hijinks and general tomfoolery in the casino. Shenanigans were not readily apparent.
