cruise4kicks Posted January 22, 2008 #3 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I've been on the Gem twice. First time was the transatlantic. I won $1,000 on the Wheel of Fortune machine closest to the hallway that leads to the theater about 3 days before disembarkation. I ran up about 9 points on my CAS card that sailing. (If that tells you anything... it doesn't tell me much. :confused: ) Second time was 1/5-1/16, and won $600 on a quarter machine (don't remember which one -- it was on the row of short machines in front of the WoF machines, about three up from that end, facing the windows) just after half-way through the cruise. I ran up 26 more points on my CAS card on that sailing. Those were just the big wins, but there were several smaller (e.g., $80-$300) wins, too. People were complaining that the slots were tight, but that might have been their way of bemoaning loss? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len3 Posted January 22, 2008 Author #4 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Thanks for the heads-up. I don't think that any slots can be tighter than those on HAL - may as well toss the $$$$ overboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jana Posted January 22, 2008 #5 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Thanks for the heads-up. I don't think that any slots can be tighter than those on HAL - may as well toss the $$$$ overboard. Ahhh, see, while Becky was lucky on Gem (and I definitely was NOT), I did win $1000 on Volendam, and my roommate won almost $1,800 on Noordam! One thing I like about the newer slots on NCL is the variable amount option (and the ticket system). If I'm playing quarters and win a bit, I can switch to 50-cents or $1 without changing machines. I love that, but alas, on Gem I never got that option. Jana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travel Angel Posted January 25, 2008 #15 Share Posted January 25, 2008 not sounding to good, Hope the Slots are better in Feb :) Come on people...! You are on a ship, not Vegas, where there is competition to get you in their casino door. There will be winners on the slots, but far less payout than donations ! If you want to win, your odds are better on the tables ! Best rule of thumb when gambling.....Don't gamble what you can't afford to lose ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd like you to know how grateful I am for your moral tutorial. Because of you, I have seen the light and will change my ways. If you could let me know where you'll be sermonizing next, I'll do my best to catch it; who knows -- you might help me organize my desk, lose weight, fold my underwear properly... the possibilities are endless! Thanks again! Jana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markf Posted January 27, 2008 #17 Share Posted January 27, 2008 just returned today from the Gem and too many hours in the casino--I asked the mgr what the slots pay back --he said 90%-- but I know during the 10 days there were at least 6 royal flushes --that paid up to 1600. they have about 10 25 cent poker machines and many 1 cent and 2 cent machines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
