I saw a woman win $897,000 on second night Liberty Med cruise 2006. Can't remember if it was quarter or dollar machine...it was a progressive machine. :eek:

 

Last year won $200 on penny slot. It was my second bet of 18¢. Slots were gteat. Money lasted entire cruise on Legend....my one & only win. :rolleyes

 

My friend won $1200 jackpot on Wheel of Fortune slot on Liberty this past May...dont know what she contributed tho. Our CC had a slot pull using same machine...lost a bundle. :confused:

 

I'm just happy to have my money last long enough to provide some entertainment :)

I took my adult gr.daughter and her long time boy friend on the Pride. While they were going to the dance clubs each night, I went to the casino. Every night I played different machines and I just couldn't lose . A the end of each night I went to the guest service desk and paid off any money I owed for that day. I was buying all kinds of stuff- pictures, monkey head drinks, scrapbooking supplies, clothes, excursions, etc. When our trip ended I walked off the ship with nothing owed on my credit card and enough cash to cover the cost of the trip for the 3 of us. Never won like that again.

Two years ago won $400 over the course of a week playing BJ on the Carnival Freedom. Last year won a couple hundred playing BL on Carnival Valor. I've played slots a little bit and haven't won a thing on those. We'll see how I do on my next cruise in a couple weeks:D

Just off the Legend won $1900.00 playing roulette with a progressive bet on columns. played total of about 3 1hr sessions. Plus on the last night I want a drink while I was talking to some friends at the slots and hit a $1200.00 max win on a penny machine only played 2 spins at .40 each that was min bet and hit a jackpot. Only played because I had to be at a machine to get a drink with my drink on us card I got for playing roulette. I tip the waiter that brought me my drink very well. So I had a total for the week of $3100.00 to the plus side.

When I was 17 on the inspiration I walked up to my mom playng the video poker and decided to put $5 into it, and accidentally hit max bet and sure enough got 4 of a kind and won $1100.

 

Last December on the breeze first sea dea I brought $10 into the casino and was playing penny slots and won $35 on my second bet, cashed out moved to another machine 3rd bet won $50 more and cashd out. An hour later I went back to a penny slot, betting 10 cents for every line after about $15 or so I hit for $200 got up and moved to the Michael Jackson machine and won another $250 on my 3rd or 4th spin. Cashed out and didnt go back to the casino til the final seaday and lost like $100 on slots so I moved to Roulette and lost an additional $50 and said I'm only betting $5 more. I put that $5 on 3 and 3 hit so I was up $180. The lady next to me said its bad luck to not bet the number again, so I said F#@K IT! put $50 on 3 and sure enough I got a nice $1800 pay out. This all happened as it turned midnight which was my birthday. I was ecstatic!

 

All in all I left with a little over $2000 with only bringing $10 into the casino of my money.

 

Bought watches, sunglasses, cologne, and a lot of christmas shopping on the boat. Things I probably would never had gotten had I not won that money

A couple of years ago on the Glory on the second night of a cruise to nowhere I hit a penny Cleopatra machine max bet $2.00 for $5,214.00. In June of this year on the Breeze I hit a penny Quick Hit machine (8 Quick Hits) for $1079.00. I hope I hit a big one on the Freedom on my next cruise.

My last cruise December 2012 5 day. Won $1200 overall on penny slots and hit $400 on my first spin on wheel of fortune. ...good cruise also.

$1100 on the Legend last month on a penny machine - night 3.

$1000 on Caribbean Princess last year on a dollar machine - night 4.

$1500 on the Miracle a few years ago on a quarter machine - night 4 - I was on my last $20 for the cruise and felt like I was the luckiest person on the ship..... and then the woman beside me won the new BMW on a 2 penny machine!:p

Im not a big gambler on land but for some reason i love it on the cruises, its just too convenient and alot of fun especially when you win. I just completed a freedom cruise in august won 800 between roulette and craps so i was happy, i played the wheel of fortune 1$ slot put in 20$ got 5 spins on the money and won only 200$ but i did win so cant complain. My biggest win was for 2000 on a princess cruise playing roulette i think i hit 10 numbers in a row with bets ranging from 5$-10$ per number, that was unbeleiveable!

In 2007 we had planned to go to Las Vegas for Labor Day. It was over 100 degrees there so I called my PVP and he got me on a cruise to Canada. On the first night after dinner, I took $50 and headed to the casino. Played the $1.00 Wheel of Fortune slot machine. On the third pull, I hit the spin and won $500. I cashed out, went back to the cabin, my husband, who is not a gambler at all, asked how I did. I showed him the 5 hundred dollar bills. On the last night, I took another $50 and went back to the same machine. Same thing happened. When I went back to the cabin, again my husband asked how I did. I showed him the 5 hundred dollar bills. He accused me of showing him the same bills, so I had to go into the safe and get the first 5 and showed him all 10. Kind of funny that is happened, because I never do that well in Las Vegas.
