Hit 25k on Star Princess -- 10 dollars a spin

[bamelin]

Just got back last week. Hit 25k on a 5 dollar (10 a spin) machine -- on the first full day of a 10 day cruise. I had only dropped around 3 hundred into the machine.

 

Miracles DO happen in cruise ship casinos after all! :eek:

That's great !!

How did you get the money? Did they give you a cheque ? Were you taxed?

Which machine did you win on?

[bamelin]

They gave it to me in cash a huge stack of 100s on the last night of the cruise. No tax I'm Canadian -- we don't get taxed on casino winnings :)

The machine was called either wild or triple cherry .... I hit 3 triple cherries. Almost had a heart attack!

Hehe ... Felt pi mp at the bank. A big stack with a 10k wrap around one wad and another big stack attached with elastic. Pulled from a wrinkled envelope .. Looked like I had just robbed a bank. :D

 

Big stares from people passing by the cage. I ran to my room safe.

What did you tell customs when you disembarked?

I think the cap is 10k pp..

[bamelin]

US is 10k per family (I declared and had to fill out a form in port customs). Canada is 10k per person ... I had 19k left and was with my wifeso I didn't mention the cash at CDN customs. Thankfully no searches or anything like that ... Would have been awkward explaining 19k in unmarked US hundred dollar bills. :)
