Weird casino question

In March I was on the Norwegian Spirit and they had this cool game which I called the Chuck E Cheese game (you know where you drop a quarter to move the other quarters forward). I loved it because I kept winning free bottles of champagne tokens. Does Carnival have them....mainly the Magic?

I've seen them but don't know what the prizes are.

There's usually 2 of those sweeper machines in the casino area.

Carnival casinos have those machines, but I don't ever remember seeing champagne tokens as one of the prizes.

The magic does have them, but they don't have the tokens like Norwegian does. My friend won like 4 bottles of champagne with those on Norwegian.

i've also seen them but haven't been on Magic so can't say for sure.

 

i always wondered what happens with them in rough seas haha.

 

When not actively in use (one or two minutes after the last quarter went through) the machines shut the coin-drop off and anything that falls is directed into an internal hopper.

I suspect that the casino folks just turn them off in rough seas....although OTOH, it's not like you're gonna win a huge prize on them. A 50-cent casino hat here, a couple of quarters dropping there, maybe a free drink there.....

When the seas get rough they shut them down, even if people are playing them, they will stop them from playing and shut them down. When we are on the Holiday, we ran into a big storm and it tossed it around good. They shut those babies down quick. They pulled the players off and told them sorry, they would open them back up when the seas settled. If they would have left them open even 3 or 4 more minutes those guys would have cleaned up lol

i figure they shut them down... but if in fact there were real rough seas (i'm talking like sailing up and down the us atlantic coast rough) i can see all the potential proceeds adding up pretty quickly...
