NCTribeFan Posted November 4, 2021 #3 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Yikes! If I pay for a dinner in Sel de Mer, I don't want to hear slot machines and the blaring noise that they put out. And I'm a gambler, but the casino is the only place they belong. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound is off, so you won't hear anything - but still.......they need to stay in the casino Edited November 4, 2021 by The-Inside-Cabin 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare albingirl Posted November 4, 2021 #5 Share Posted November 4, 2021 This is ridiculous. Many of us don't gamble and don't want to look at slot machines all over the place. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted November 4, 2021 #6 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Well, at least that's something. First thing I do when I sit down at a machine is turn the sound almost all the way down. People sit there with it just blasting noise and don't seem to notice. I hate it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porsena Posted November 4, 2021 #8 Share Posted November 4, 2021 It's another unwelcome development. The Ocean Bar has been our go-to lounge through the years. We have an NS booked on the Konigsdam this spring and a cruise on the QE a month later. It will be an interesting comparison. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By QE I assume you mean the QE2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartgrove Posted November 4, 2021 #12 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Not that I agree with installing them in the Ocean Bar, but it would be a smoke-free environment. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just going to add that perhaps it is to accommodate the non-smokers since players are allowed to smoke while playing in the casino, at last the last time we were on HAL, late 2018, I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted November 4, 2021 #14 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (I am breaking my silence to voice a contrary opinion.) I am not a gambler but I think having a few quiet slots scattered about might be a good revenue generator for the ships and a better environment for us casual coin droppers. I don't mind playing slots but I am very casual about it and really don't like the casino environment - it is just too hard core for me. A few solo quiet slots would provide some casual entertainment. I agree about not having the noise or flashy lights outside of the casino. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquahound Posted November 4, 2021 #16 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Well, since they eliminated the piano player from the ocean bar, why not add slots? Hal...sheesh. 🙄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted November 4, 2021 #17 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Who cares. I lost interest in gambling a couple of decades ago, so no problem walking by. As long as there isn't non-stop smoking there, which there shouldn't be under HAL's rules. And I have been seen getting a pre dinner drink or two in the Ocean Bar. Funny how people are SOOOO happy capacities are low... a money losing situation for HAL, but are crying about smaller portions, extra charges and any revenue increaser that comes along. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
