[Dallas Bengal]

[Justsyd]

Brought home over $500 on my last 4 day cruise. Not a huge win, but I'll take it!

On my first cruise on the Conquest back in 2004 I tried the nickle slots and have to say, I did win. When I noticed I was hitting and winning small amounts, I took notice and realized I had cashed out on 6 of 7 machines I had played and stop counting thinking my luck would run out. A couple of times the attendant would have to handpay me when the amount was a little over $100.00...I couldn't figure out that part.

 

Now on the Glory cruise, not so lucky. I donated a little more than I wanted to.

On my Princess Cruise I hit several small Jackpots ...and Won on Let It Ride Table Game for $800 one night ...overall I won over a thousand when I was finished.....

 

However on Carnival I am 0 for 4 ...maybe my next cruise *shrug* :D

I am incredibly lucky sometimes. I typically can win several hundred dollars during the week. I take 1/2 of what I've won and pay against my S&S card and the other 1/2 I play $1 slots with.

 

2008 was a stellar year and I won a total of $5500 on 3 cruises. $3500 of that money was on two different $1 Wheel of Fortune machines one on the Glory and one on the Valor.

 

On the Ecstasy in February I won $100 on a superbowl pot that our roll call was running, so I took that to the $5 machine and walked away with $600.

On Valor in May, I won $700. Approx half from slots and half from 3 card poker. Actually had more but put it back in. Was very happy that came home with me (plus my bank I brought to play with).

I've won slot tournaments on three cruises totaling approx. $1500.00. I won at bingo for $2100.00 and on the same cruise I won at one of the three slot tournaments. It was a good day on that cruise. :D

[Dallas Bengal]

Now these are fun to read....congratulations everyone. :p

I was a card away from a straight flush and $12,000 in Let It Ride last year. Talk about a stressful couple of seconds.

 

On my first cruise, someone caught a royal flush with all the bonuses and won over $25K :eek:

[I082692]

i hit the 1000.00 on the $1 wheel of fortune on the conquest last summer.. thought that was pretty good considering i dont play slots much. table games are table games as good as anywhere

[BCFD 2357]

Won $800 dollars on the penny slots :D

[Cruiser from MS]

Well I won $50.00 on the quarter slots on the Triumph. Not much but more than I had to start off with...:)

[vwrestler171]

In Sept I took $1300 with me, spent $1500 and came home with $1100. Craps and Blackjack were nice to me, roulette was ok, but the $500 prize for winning the blackjack tournament was awesome

[Room Service!]

$900.00 for me, on the .25 slots. :)

[PSkinner]

On our first cruise DH won $1500 on the $1 slots the first night. While he was waiting to get the pay out our DS won $800 on the slot right next to him.

 

On our 3rd cruise I won the Slot Tournament. $20 entry fee and won $650.

[MszKitty]

I don't play bingo, nor gamble in the casino, so not many opportunities for me to win. Except I do play the slot tournaments. I won once, but I don't remember how much it was...$300?..$500?:confused:

 

My husband, on the other hand, has won quite a bit playing blackjack or poker. Several times, he's earned enough to pay off our onboard account (and that ain't cheap!) and/or the cruise itself (the 3 night cruise, not a week cruise). He's also surprised me with some nice gifts from the shops.

But his biggest one-time win happened when he was doing so poorly in Blackjack, he decided to take a break from the blackjack table and take $100 to a slot machine...which he very rarely plays. After putting in about $40 into the machine he hit it for $4,000! Ended up being a very good cruise! :)

[JennLuvs2Cruise]

On my first sailing on the Dream, my mom & I were both very lucky! She won $2,700 on slots that week & I won $1,500 from the Cash Craze pull tabs. :D

[okwriter]

Hit $1,080 on a $1 slot on the Legend in December. It paid all of our S&S charges for the week, and most of my gambling was on the S&S card. Sweeeeet! :)

 

In early May on the Ecstasy, I lost money every day until the last sea day, then I went up about $300. On that same cruise, one lady won over $5,000 twice playing video poker!

[cruizer1001]

Wow after looking at all the big winners I only won $400.00 over a five day sail on the Ecstasy on face up black jack. :rolleyes:

[rlmoore100]

Last year on the Triumph I won $1,800 on the slots. My husband won $700.00 playing cards. It is definately more fun to win!

I've been on five Carnival cruises. I've hit the $1 Wheel of Fortune for $1000 on each cruise. And, no, I've never gone home with that $1000. Bit it is more fun to play using their money.

 

On my first cruise I hit for $800 as soon as the casino opened. The machine clunked out 800 tokens. While in line to cash the tokens i put 3 in a machine and won another $700. I was up $1500 in the first five minutes. Saved enough to pay the s&s and take home some. Now if I go home even I'm happy.

On my last cruise on the Spirit, we were in the casino and heard screaming. Some woman from Canada hit a jackpot on a nickle slot machine and won $33,000. Because she wasn't a US citizen, no taxes.

[Celebrating40]

Won $1000 on a Wheel of Fortune Slot on the Triumph. Then went to another machine, put in $200 and then hit the $1000 again. SO all told, $1800 on the last cruise. Paid for the cruise for me and my daughter :)

[ejeffo]

Just got back from Alaska on the Spirit. All video poker. My GF hit 4 Aces w/ kicker for $1000 and the same hand for $500. I hit 4 Aces for $200 and 4 dueces w/ kicker for $200... Does that count?

 

:D:D:D

I won $1400 on wheel of fortune slot on last crusie, also hit it for 750 the next night. Probably made about 2k on the black jack table. It was nice getting off the ship with alot more than I got on with.
