Slot Machines in QV Casino

[Cruachan]

I just noticed a new thread on the subject of the casino on QV - unfortunately I am unable to answer the question posed by the poster who started the thread, but I thought it might be of interest to make people aware of a relatively new development concerning the slot machines. I say relatively new because it was not in effect in October last year.

 

The slot machines can no longer be played by feeding them cash (either coin or banknotes) and nor do they pay out in the old tokens. The new system is that, before playing the machine, you insert your cruise card into a slot and a screen fires up with a dialogue that allows you to purchase the amount you wish to play (minimum purchase is $10). When you are finished and wish to cashout (assuming you have any winnings), you simply press the cashout button and your winnings (or remaining money) are added to your card. You then take your card to the cashier and he/she will pay you in dollars. You won't get coin though - any amount less than $1 will be credited to your cruise account.

 

So, you can no longer sit losing all your worldly wealth while listening to the crash as an avalanche of tokens pours out of the machine next to you.

Hello cruachan,

 

A friend of mine used this new system on QM2 on the May 9th crossing this year, he preferred it. I watched him lose $9 (out of $10)... and then, with "just one more go..." end up with $12! At which point he stopped :) . (He didn't let his new-found wealth go to his head however ;) ).

Can you use OBC for the casino? I'm just thinking if I have a few $$ left at the end of a cruise, this may be a way to use it.

 

Thanks.
