sylteach Posted August 19, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Do the casinos take larger denomination bills that you want to exchange for smaller bills? Does the purser's office accept them? ie., $100 bills to $20's and smaller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTheK Posted August 19, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2009 At the casino you can always buy 100 dollars worth of chips at a table, and than go to the cage and cash them in. I'm sure they will give you whatever you want in exchange. I don't know about the purser's desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry and Lucille Posted August 20, 2009 #3 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I have always been able to change large bills at the casino cashiers cage. They know I will be spending the small ones. Just may take them a little more time to get them. Harry :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo Eleven Posted August 21, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 21, 2009 They take all sorts of money as long as it isn't monopoly money. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compucruiser Posted September 20, 2009 #8 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Never had any problem. I found it really convenient to change a couple of 100's in the casino just so I had lots of 5's and 1's for tips when the next day was in a port. Nobody cares - they have to have lots of small bills, since most people put 100's and 20's into the slots and cash out 5's and 1's ... ;-) Most of the ship casino cashiers will even let you use your ship board account for cash - up to $500 or so (some are higher) per day. Since the US has $100 as the only high-denomination bill, you either need to carry only 100's or a BIG wallet. Back in the old days, before they let you add the tips to your ship-board account, you had to have 150-200 in cash to distribute at the end of the cruise. Add that to cash you needed for the ports, cabfare, lunch, etc, you had to carry quite a wad if you were limited to 20's. Good luck. compucruiser (16 cruises, my 17th coming in 3 weeks!)

Harry and Lucille Posted September 25, 2009 #9 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I have always wished that the United States hadn't eliminated the $10,000.00 bill. Walk up the the Blackjack table and toss one down and see how many black chips they really have on board. Harry :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sylteach Posted September 29, 2009 Author #10 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I am back from my cruise now. I had no problem giving the cashier $100 bills to exchange for $5 bills. I have learned it lasts longer using the 5's instead of 20's. I had one night where I played a 2cent machine that had multi-lines with 7's and fruits and a double symbol. I got a few good spins so I started playing max bet-90 per spin($1.80 each). It was "loose" enough that I won $200. Then I cashed out and put in a $5 and played max a few spins-won $50. Then I cashed out!! On the same night I played a nickel machine that had jewelry boxes. I won 2000 nickels on that one and they hand paid me in cash. I was not even playing max on that one. Good luck everybody!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
