IflyWithDi Posted August 26, 2010 #1 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Was wondering if you have ever hit it big in a ship casino ? I have done all right but never hit real big on any of my 11 cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernCaribbean Posted August 26, 2010 #4 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Hit $1000 2x on Wheel of Fortune. Was on a cruise when a guy had the option of a BMW or $25,000. I think he choose the car. I would have taken the cash personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sierrachik Posted August 26, 2010 #6 Share Posted August 26, 2010 On my first cruise (Holland America) I won $1000 on a dollar slot, 2 nights later won $800 on the same machine. Went home with way more money than anticipated! On my second cruise (same HAL ship) I was waiting for the same dollar slot that I won both times and the person using the machine won $1000. And yes, I pouted about that for a few minutes, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willyy Posted August 26, 2010 #8 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Depends on what you consider big... Hit $8oo on quarter slots on sensation and hit $750 on in room video poker I believe it was Destiny, but may have been elation not sure(long time and lots of caronas ago). Both were a 20 dollar investment, I have given some back but not more than 100 bucks since then. On sensation DW was pregnant, couldnt drink so she asked if we could spend a little time each night on the slots. She would pick a machine and I would sit down next to her and pull the arm and bam jackpot it was a triple diamond machine and killing time before dinner in the cabin while DW was getting all prettied up I put 20 bucks on S&S to play video poker and hit a straight flush 9-Q of clubs.Since I am not a big gambler to me that was hitting big.

superrupe Posted August 26, 2010 #9 Share Posted August 26, 2010 My DH won $5000 with a straight flush on let it ride last July on the pride. going again in 3 weeks hope we can do it again. I'm glad to hear they have Let It Ride. I love that game! Was it a 5 card straight flush or was he playing the 3-card option (if they have it)?

lillian marie Posted August 26, 2010 #10 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I won $28 on one cruise and they gave me 2 free drink coupons and have spent far more than that in losses since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbenlee Posted August 26, 2010 #11 Share Posted August 26, 2010 My wife won $2500 on our last Conquest cruise 18 months ago. She really paid for our last minute decision to cruise that time! Hoping she can do that again in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmayor Posted August 26, 2010 #12 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I'm glad to hear they have Let It Ride. I love that game! Was it a 5 card straight flush or was he playing the 3-card option (if they have it)? They have the 3-card bonus bet...I hit a 3-card straight diamond flush on the bonus and it pays 40 to 1, or in my case $200. On my Freedom of the Seas cruise, I drew 3 of a kind as my initial hand and let every bet ride (I had the $1 bonus bet as well as the 3-card bonus bet covered too!). The first hole card flipped was the 4th...I won $1,000 on that hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serene56 Posted August 26, 2010 #15 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Our first cruise on the Sensation-- first day-- the casino was opened not even 10 minutes-- and there is my momma sitting at a nickle machine after winning 2500.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisin53 Posted August 26, 2010 #16 Share Posted August 26, 2010 On our very first cruise I hit a 2500.00 pot on the dollar slots. Then on our 2005 cruise on the Elation, are you ready for this? I hit five jackpots , yes five, on dollar slots and took home 9,000.00. I haven't done that well since. I think they put my name on their red list.

VTSAIL Posted August 26, 2010 #17 Share Posted August 26, 2010 :) Not that big, but on my last Glory cruise I hit for 500. on three different machines on the last night at sea. I know - bucking the trend. Only Cruise where the casino host was actually comping my drinks. (I was playing a lot of slots) Made me whole for the week and enabled me to upgrade to first class on the way home Can't wait to get at those Dream machines in Feb.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmCruiserNC Posted August 26, 2010 #18 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Well -- technically, my wife turned $50 worth of chips into $65,000 at the black jack tables on one of our NCL cruises. Sadly, it was all amassed during the week-long black jack tournament, so the money was just for play -- although she did walk away with $500 in REAL cash (and a t-shirt) as the winner of the tournament. Best part -- she had NEVER played black jack in a casino before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin'Allie Posted August 26, 2010 #19 Share Posted August 26, 2010 About 6 years ago I donated about $50 to a casino cruise out of Port Canaveral and the very next day I took DD to an amusement park and hit 7-7-7 on their "slot machine" and got about 500 tickets... All it got me was a cheap stuffed animal at the prize counter... :mad: Hoping my luck changes :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn125408 Posted August 26, 2010 #20 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Two years ago on our first cruise, the Legend, I hit the jackpot on the last night playing video poker. Won $1200 on the royal flush. Just about paid for our cruise. Hope I do that well this September on the Legend again :D It's fun, but don't plan on playing that much this time. Need to pay off the cruise for next March :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boaterette Posted August 26, 2010 #21 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Cashed out over 1200 on the elation. Won 5700 on the pride. Spend most of my free time in the casino. Won 64000 at an Indian casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplee Posted August 26, 2010 #22 Share Posted August 26, 2010 We were in Grand Cayman and were on the "Feed the Stingrays" tour. The guide told us that if a stingray kissed you, it was good luck. A stingray came right up out of the water, up my wife's chest and actually onto her face. She kissed a stingray.............that night she won $2,500 at a slot machine, and I won $2,500 on another slot machine as well. This was the Carnival Inspiration in March, 2009.

CRJ700 Posted August 26, 2010 #23 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Was wondering if you have ever hit it big in a ship casino ? I have done all right but never hit real big on any of my 11 cruises. In the grand scheme of things it wasn't a lot, but I hit $32 on the penny slots one night. Too bad it wasn't 3200 quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kujobie Posted August 26, 2010 #24 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Mrs. Kujobie won the slot tournament on our last cruise. $500, t-shirt, polo shirt, and trophy. Cool thing was we were platinum, so our entry was complimentary. We didn't spend a penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyinGA Posted August 26, 2010 #25 Share Posted August 26, 2010 We won $2400 on a nickel slot. If we'd been betting the max it would have been $10K. We were thrilled, but could have been more thrilled with the max bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
