Casino question

[P&O SUE]

My husband’s friend is going on his first cruise in May on Iona. He wants to know how you pay for the casino. I have no idea as we never use it.

 

Does it just go on your cruise card or do people use cash?

 

Thanks for any help.

I only do the tables generally Black Jack or Roulette.  You can hand in your cruise card at a table for chips. Generally they give you for the table you are at so Black Jack would be small cash chips with the value on them.  Roulette chips you get all the same colour which is your type, maybe up to ten players each with a different colour.  You can give them cash too. They call the supervisor to witness the transaction and shove all paper through the table slot. There is a cashier's counter so when you want to cash in you just ask croupier or dealer to colour up and they will give you a series of £25 cash chips plus the odd £1,£2, £5 etc.  All these can be cashed in at the counter for pound notes. You can then pay off your cruise account at reception with all your winnings, lol.

 

I have no idea about the slot machines.

Hi Sue. Cruise card or cash on the slots. Any money that you want to cash out of the machine goes back on your Cruise card. This can be saved for later use or cash out at the cashier at any time.

  Just make sure you cash out before the casino closes on the night before you disembark.

Thank you both

Depending on the ship, there is a virtual roulette wheel in Azura that takes cash as well
