Free Pull Slot Machine - Has anyone EVER won??

[klingoncruiser]

Of all the BAD pr moves... this one takes the cake. They took away the "free" money and replaced it with worthless key chains. I "won" several of those embarrassing key chains and nothing else. RCI looks as cheap as their "prizes". This is a perk for loyalty and I see what they think of it.

 

HEY RCI.... don't ya think you could at least move the prizes up a bit for the loyalty?

 

I feel better now, rant over.....

We have won a couple keychains and around 35 cents once.

[CruiseKeeper]

;) yours are still in the plastic that is why they are not reproducing... ;)

 

But we have won several t-shirts and key chains, and we give them away when we get home... still waiting for the big cash pay off....

 

I think mine are sterile.

[lovelife]

Lots of key chains and a tee shirt.

[Cruisedeacon]

won a polo shirt one time... but they didnt have an extra large to fit me... so I had an option for an ugly tee shirt or 10 key chains...

 

hmmmmm I sat there for a least an hour trying to figure out which was the better deal..... NOT!:rolleyes:

[pinkmaija]

It's pretty sad that no one has seen anyone win cash.

 

What about a free drink? GC for Johnny Rockets? BOGO in Chops or Portofino for a big prize? Ridiculous!......

i LOVE THESE BOARDS- I can see what to look forward to on my cruise!

I don't care what I win as long as it's "free". I doubt they will have ANY shirts to fit me (I'm a kid's X-large or adult X-small)

How was your most recent Monarch cruise? We are leaving Friday!!

Did they have the slot pull on that sailing?

 

We were on the Monarch from Sept 10 to 17th...So we went to the casino on thursday morning..We had I think a total of 10 pulls.

 

Woo hoo we hit the jackpot

 

8 key rings out of 10 pulls.

 

We gave them all away to friends onboard.

 

thus we came home with nothing

One t-shirt and WAY too many key chains!!!! It's kind of a ritual that we always do the day before departure day after packing, we cash in our coupons, and try our luck!

[copnlpn2]

I have enough keychains to make a t-shirt embellished with the 12 cents I also won...:rolleyes::rolleyes:

On our last night on a 8 day Jewell cruise my wife insisted we go and use the free pulls in the casino. I got the coins and she immediately put one coin in and pushed. I tried to stop her because I wanted to look everything over but it was to late. She won two hundred dollars and the coins clinked into the little bucket and she was so excited. I immediately took the bucket to the cash out window and got two one hundred dollar bills and after the second free coin was put into the slot to no avial we departed with a big smile on our faces.

[Cruisedeacon]

two hundred dollars! wow.... like others have said... I have two hundred key chains worth about 2 cents each...

:rolleyes:

[pcur]

I won two casino tee shirts at one time with my and my husband's free pulls. Gave one to a friend, and the other I hang with pride with my other workout tees!!:D:D

[buffalogrill]

I got a $0.50 voucher which I couldn't cash in lol! Kept it as a souvenir!

[snowbird1]

Wow that is interesting. I thought you had to put in 3 at a time in order for it too spin,,,,and,,,,the payout was in ticket form:confused:

Congrats on your winnings:D

[Cya@Sea]

I think this poster was on the ship in 2006, and they changed things in 2008 or 2009.

 

Yeah, it would be great to win a few bucks, huh? :D

[cruisingpluto]

my bf and i won a tshirt each at the same time, one right after each other.

 

then the second time, we only got one keychain.

My DH and I had the free spin tickets in our coupon books and "won" five more during the week in the coin game where you drop quarters in hope of having quarters, bills or free spin tickets drop into a tray. For our seven spins we won... Nothing! We did watch a guy in front of us in line who won six cents :)

 

BTW, a big thank you to the OP who posted a question about those quarter machines about a month ago. I would not have looked at them twice if I hadn't read the post and become curious. We had great fun playing throughout the week and enjoyed having a fifty dollar bill and two twenties drop the last night. Very entertaining.

Just off Monarch and won another key chain. I told the cashier they really need to change this slot game and it is getting very boring!!!

[ccruisequeen]

Lots of key chains and a tee shirt.

 

How do you get so many pulls? Is it one a day, or can you win more pulls?:confused:
