oddly excitered Posted December 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Has anyone had any luck with this? While on our first cruise in 2015 aboard enchantment we experienced some really rough weather, outside was closed off, couldn't do coco cay due to tenders tipping and so on and so forth. Neither my wife or myself had ever set foot in a casino before so we had no idea what to expect. sure enough we were killing the slots the whole trip. Beginners luck I thought but when we were shuttling back to the airport other cruisers expressed the same thing and one mentioned that when the ship is tossing around like that the machines are thrown out of calibration causing more winners. Anyone have any input? Cruises since have not been that rough and we have not had any success in the casino. By the way, despite the weather we had the time of our lives and haven't looked back since. Its the cruising life for us!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds totally bogus - kinda hard to get electronics out of calibration by motion - these are not mechanical slots. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gets displayed on the reels are determine by a random number generator on a computer chip, not any mechanical spinning of a wheel. But it if you played a lot, your next cruise could be free from Casino Royale. Edited December 24, 2018 by BirdTravels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus we got shirts, an Apple shuffle, and other trinkets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseguy1016 Posted December 24, 2018 #14 Share Posted December 24, 2018 IF the rough seas made the slot play looser (and we know that's not true), those same rough seas could have knocked them out of kilter the other way too and they would have been even tighter than they already are. OP- enjoy your beginner's luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then when I find some (which happens frequently) I just reinvest them and lose them. How’s that for stupidity!!😝😝😝 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted December 24, 2018 #16 Share Posted December 24, 2018 When Crown Princess tipped due to crew coming out of Canaveral in 2006 a lot of the slots tore out and fell over. No coins even then. No one hurt since they hadn't opened yet. Only difference we have ever seen was stool sometimes feels like it is tipping over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ship leaned sharply to starboard and remained tilted for several minutes. Liquor display carts rolled out of gift ship and down promenade before crashing, leaving broken bottles everywhere. Portofino lost a good portion of their china. DD kept her head, ran to casino, and scooped up two containers of coins from quarter pushing machine. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HicksRA Posted December 24, 2018 #18 Share Posted December 24, 2018 The only thing that increases in the casino during bad weather is the amount of smokers sitting around not playing but just smoking. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
