Any Winners in the Casino ??

[DaytonCruiser]

I've won $800 in roulette and $500 in Blackjack. I have a $100 rule, if I lose $100 I leave and wont return to the casion for the duration of the cruise. As long as Im winning I will go as much as possible :)

Bad news was I received a W2 for my winnings.

 

Huh, In international waters and flying a foreign flag. Please explain?

If you are a US citizen the IRS wants its cut! I think its anything over $1400:confused: in winnings.

 

Here is a thread that touches on the subject.

Carnival Glory, March 5 2005 sailing. There is a bank of 6 or 8 Video Poker machines along the promenade walkway towards the bow, right across from the Carnival Sea Miles sign-up desk.

 

During the week our group hit several times:

 

$20 in, machine was set on $2, and this person hit Bet Max (by mistake), got dealt 4 dueces and a King, $1600.

 

Another person got 4 aces with 5 credits in, $600.

 

Another person hit a Royal with 3 quarters in, hit $800.

 

Another person hit 1,000 quarters on a slot with 3 credits in.

 

Another couple hit a Bingo in the Amber Palace for $1,000.

 

Several others hit for a few hundred at a time on the same bank of Video Poker machines, playing nickles.

 

Another person hit on Let it Ride and Craps the whole week.

 

We had a great time.

On the Spirit in October, someone on our cruise won either $20,000 or $40,000!!! He sang 'I Feel Good' in the talent show that night! No lie!
