Who has hit it big in the casino?

Do any of the Ships have Video Blackjack? Rather than a live dealer?

 

daledoe,

 

Breeze had video Blackjack last year. Our 18 year old played every day and got the casino free cruise offer earlier this year.

Last cruise I won a $1000 bingo jackpot. Also had decent luck a tthe craps table. Doubled my money most nights. Really love craps but my GF and I will eventually play some slots of the tables are cold or dead. Hit a couple of $100 to $200 jackpots on the slots but nothing huge. Essentially paid for our Feb cruise with these various winnings incuding paying off our S&S account! From what I understand comps are hard to obtain by playing craps solely. Although I did earn a free bon voyage gift basket and a few other minor freebies on our next cruise through casino play.

Hubby has won the iPad2 +$500 playing the "Cash Vault" twice now. He won it the first time on our very first cruise the first time he put a $5 bill in after watching people play it and lose. The second time we took the cash option instead of the iPad2 since we had already won it previously so we ended up walking away with $1500. It was nice!

 

what is a cash vault?

I hit $1200 on 25¢ slot on the Legend 4 years ago. It was the last night, I think it was the Bowtie game or triple 7's or similar. As I recall, I was down about that much for the 7 night trip, so went home even, which is all I ever really hope for.

 

On the Paradise last month, no luck at all - a few smaller wins (a couple hundred here and there), but it disappeared as fast as it came. On Video poker - my preferred game - payouts were dismal. Awful. Money running through 'em like water. So played mostly slots... which were also dismal. Did not see a lot of handpays anywhere. By the last two days I was playing pennies - max $1.50/spin, and actually had more fun with that than the others...

 

Never tried the vault. I watched it a few times, and am convinced that the little arm does not extend straight out to the keyhole from the point it is stopped. Even a 1% slant - barely discernible to the human eye - would be enough for it not to fit into the keyhole no matter how accurate the "aim" when stopped. :rolleyes:
