marycruz Posted August 6, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 6, 2018 What is the minimum for hand dealt blackjack on the Summit? Are the shoe games a regular one or a continuous shuffle machine? They had the machines when we were on Summit in May. I think we only saw one $5 table the entire cruise and only some of the time but mostly the minimum bet on the tables was $10.

CarolRoy Posted August 6, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 6, 2018 How are the slots on the Summit? Are they relatively new? Are they ticket in/ticket out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyJak Posted August 7, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 7, 2018 How are the slots on the Summit? Are they relatively new? Are they ticket in/ticket out?Just got off the Summit yesterday. Yes they have slots and most of the machines are relatively new. They take cash as well as your sea card.

Ereggae Posted August 7, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Keep in mind the casinos on board are not regulated and monitored like land casinos so payouts are poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix_dream Posted August 7, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Yes, they are ticket in/ticket out and also take cash. The payouts are very poor compared to Vegas or many land casinos, so be prepared to lose and be pleasantly surprised if you win (which I sometimes do, but not often) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkjretired Posted August 7, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Keep in mind the casinos on board are not regulated and monitored like land casinos so payouts are poor. Actually cruise line casinos are regulated by a cruise line association. I do agree that their payouts are terrible. They follow the same rules as Nevada and NJ. https://www.cruising.org/about-the-industry/regulatory/industry-policies/other/gambling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayonnejoe Posted August 7, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 7, 2018 What is the minimum for hand dealt blackjack on the Summit? Are the shoe games a regular one or a continuous shuffle machine? The lower minimum tables ($5-10 dollar minimum) are continuous shuffle machines, wouldn't play with one of those things if my life depended on it. The higher minimum tables ($25 and up) use a shoe. I am not sure whether they use six or eight decks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddyboy_4 Posted September 3, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I have been on 18 cruises and casino blackjack play is top of my cruise pastimes. I did an 11 day cruise on Summit one month ago and the casino staff, with exception, was the worst I have experienced. There were always several pit bosses on duty. They stood around with long faces chatting to each other. I never once saw any of them chat in a friendly way to a player. I gave them about 50 hours of table action and was never bought a drink. The casino closed each evening earlier than I have experienced before, not much past midnight, even when there were still a good number of players. Most dealers were little better than mechanical; in fairness, a minority of dealers were cheerful and good, exceptions that proved the rule. There were many comments by players about the surliness of the staff. Clearly there is a major management problem in the casino. I left a significant winner by the way, so no sour grapesin that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
