SuiteTraveler Posted April 15, 2010 #5 Share Posted April 15, 2010 My husband won $750 playing Texas Hold'em Poker on the Carnival Splendor. Unfortunately, he won this on his second hand and wanted to play longer, so he wound up losing it all over the course of 4 hours. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris64 Posted April 15, 2010 #7 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I usually play BJ and win a little. However a couple of years ago and friend that was cruising with us won over $4,000 at video poker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo Eleven Posted April 15, 2010 #8 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Too many to name but I have also took a bath in a casino. Anyone who gambles regularly and says they ALWAYS win and never took a bath they are so full of it that it is dripping out of their nose and ears.

BobT172 Posted April 15, 2010 #9 Share Posted April 15, 2010 About 4 years ago on the Crown Princess...$500 in the slot tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F22Smitty Posted April 16, 2010 #10 Share Posted April 16, 2010 About 4 years ago on the Crown Princess...$500 in the slot tournament. I've come in second place 3 times, does that count for anything?:mad: Actually our last time on the Freedom in March I won somewhere around $500 at the roulette table, and $1200 at craps. My wife won close to $350 at roulette.:D On this cruise we had free drinks coming at us the whole cruise and we weren't playing high stakes. We just made alot of friends and had alot of fun with everyone.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATL2LAS Posted April 17, 2010 #11 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Over the cruises I have been on, I feel like I am slightly ahead of the house. I have won as much as 1100.00 on the slots or a few hundred on Let it Ride or 3 card poker. For me its about making new friends at the tables.

F22Smitty Posted April 17, 2010 #12 Share Posted April 17, 2010 For me its about making new friends at the tables. And that right there make a cruise. Gambling is entertainment and making friends and money (maybe) just makes it better.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATL2LAS Posted April 17, 2010 #13 Share Posted April 17, 2010 And that right there make a cruise. Gambling is entertainment and making friends and money (maybe) just makes it better.:D I think thats why they have my time/your time/anytime dining. You meet people that you mesh with in the casino and now you can have a meal together. I met an older couple from Boca that I spent most of the cruise with at the casino and dinner during a cruise. Can't wait to see them again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you report your winnings on last years tax return? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seajay312 Posted April 19, 2010 #17 Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) Did you report your winnings on last years tax return? :p How does that work out since your winnings aren't on a slot machine. Is there a record of your cashing in chips at the window over a certain amount? Obviously I never cashed in a lot of chips at the cage. LOL But I have won over $3,000 on a slot machine on the Carnival Triumph. And yes I had to claim that amount on my taxes, but I also made sure I had a win/loss statement to go with it.

ParrothdJH Posted April 20, 2010 #18 Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) Did you report your winnings on last years tax return? :p Of course. like every year I keep a diary of every gambling session, Game played, time started and ended and wins or losses at each table. This has satisfied the IRS for years . And yes, I declared on my customs form that I was bringing more than $10,000 into the U.S.. Customs officer got a kick out of that.

ParrothdJH Posted April 20, 2010 #22 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Wow! What a royal pain. Not really a problem. Anyone who gambles on a regular basis should keep a diary. If you ever hit a Big slot jackpot or have a big run at the tables you'll need proof of your losses to off-set the winnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime you cash in more than $2500 in chips at one time at land based casinos there is a form filled out, more than $10,000 in a day another form(SARP). There's a warehouse in Washington full of these forms, so I don't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted April 21, 2010 #24 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Anytime you cash in more than $2500 in chips at one time at land based casinos there is a form filled out, more than $10,000 in a day another form(SARP). There's a warehouse in Washington full of these forms, so I don't worry about it. From my understanding, there is not a hard rule as to what amount of cashed in chips triggers a higher level of record keeping - it varies by casino (at least in the lower 4 digit range). Granted, if you are around/over $10,000/day they will start a paper trail - CTR© which is a Currency Transaction Report by Casino. That should not to be confused with an SAR© (Suspicious Activity Report by Casino). Those are fairly well explained in the link provided. I have cashed in over the $10,000 mark (Blackjack) on ships a few times, and I don't recall any paperwork. :) Back to the OT - my best was $24,000 on a 3 night cruise. For this last year, I am happy (sad!) to report that my losses cancelled out my winnings... thus the happy part is no extra tax, the sad part is that I lost. Bittersweet, LOL!
