Dashofpepper Posted July 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hello fellow lords and ladies of the night! I've not yet cruised on RCCL, but my wife and I are desperate to, but we can't seem to get the RCCL casino team and their back-end support team to tell me which RCCL ships have a single-zero roulette table onboard. Supposedly there are 8, and they are all in VIP sections. I was getting ready to fly to Vegas to hit the MGM Grand's $25 - $20,000 la partage roulette table, and my wife interjected a cruise...so I need to find a cruise that has single zero roulette. American roulette is 0 + 00, which doubles the house edge. Because Americans are greedy. European roulette has a single 0. Any of you guys also gamblers? Going on or coming off a ship that can eyeball the casino, talk to the casino host, find out if there are single zero roulette tables on board, and what the min/max bets are for them?

ASuperJohn Posted July 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I only saw single zero on our Mediterranean cruise and on the Transatlantic coming back to US from European area. I have not ever seen a VIP section on the ships at least not in the casino. Good luck Sent from my SM-G935P using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klfrodo Posted July 27, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Never seen a VIP section in any Royal ship casino. I have seen some high limit tables set aside, but never seen anything other than 0/00 roulette tables on European or Caribbean cruises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateUpNorth Posted July 27, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 27, 2018 If American's were greedy wouldn't they refuse to play double zero roulette as that doubles the house edge? Wouldn't the greedy person be the one who only plays single zero roulette to maximize their possible edge? Then again, I'm Canadian, and we're perfect. ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisuretraveler223 Posted July 27, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I'm a borderline degenerate gambler. I get to Vegas six or seven times a year. I have credit lines at six Strip properties and hosts at all of them. I enjoy cruising, but I don't do any serious gambling because it is inconsistent and unregulated. No thousand dollar bets on a ship for me. I will stick to max of $100, because I am doing it simple as a diversion and not serious gambling. As an example of how poorly regulated it is: When a blackjack table closes, they pick up the shoe and carry it to the back room behind the cage. When a table reopens, they just carry the same shoe back out and start dealing. No new cards, no verification of full decks. Best I can tell, decks are changed out at most once a week.

I cruise fairly frequently and spend a lot of time in the casino playing cards. They change the cards multiple times every day. Unsure where you got your information.

Unsure where you got your information. On my last cruise on Royal (Allure October 2016), and my most recent cruise on Celebrity (Equinox February 2018), I observed this practice. So, I got my information first hand. Maybe some ships are better than others, but this is what I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dashofpepper Posted July 27, 2018 Author #13 Share Posted July 27, 2018 On my last cruise on Royal (Allure October 2016), and my most recent cruise on Celebrity (Equinox February 2018), I observed this practice. So, I got my information first hand. Maybe some ships are better than others, but this is what I've seen. There are two kinds of cruise ships, just like there are two kinds of casinos. You find higher stakes, better player odds, and more extravagance on the strip resorts. You find lower stakes, worse player odds, and more dingy/grubby hotels downtown. Single zero roulette on the strip is $25 - $20,000 at most places, with a two $100 - $10,000 tables at the Bellagio and Caesar's Palace in their high stakes salons. If you want to gamble with $100 or $1000, you go downtown and play American roulette (with worse odds) with the rest of the tourists on the $5 - $1000 table, or an even worse waste of time, the $1 tables, or maybe even the $0.25 electronic ones if they exist in Vegas. If the cruise ship has 3:2 Blackjack, Craps, and European roulette (even if its just in a VIP section), its a strip equivalent casino. If it has 6:5 Blackjack, mostly slot machines, and American roulette (or worse, that new triple zero scam, **** YOU CARNIVAL), it's a progressive scale of the slum casinos off-strip. It just depends on who you're cruising with. Adjust your expectations accordingly. Try the Queen Mary 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
