Just got off Equinox last Saturday. I had $600 in OBC. Normally spend unused amount in the computer store but they had nothing but earplug devices. No actual computers or iPads. So I converted it into cash playing roulette. If there are two of you promotional chips at the cashiers window. Split them in half with your partner at the roulette table. They will give each of you different chips. Each of you then place small bets on red or black or odd and even. One of you wins and the other loses each bet. The odds are two to one so the winner doubles his money. Keep the chips you win separate because they are the ones you take to the cashier. The only time you lose is if 0 or 00 come up, that’s why you bet small, in our case $15 each time. The person running the table knew what we were doing and just smiled. 0 came up twice so we lost $30 and celebrity got their share. Actually was a fun way to do it.

You can't play promotional chips on Red/Black, odds/evens or anything else on the outside of the board. 

We always convert our OBC by having fun at Roulette and have only lost once over a whole cruise.

We play around 💲50 a night until the OBC is gone.

We play 💲5 a spin with each chip covering 4 numbers which gives us practically an even bet. We keep the winnings separately and only play the promotional chips. When all promo chips are spent cash out winnings and walk away. Repeat nightly, never chase loses.

Thanks for all the great info

If using $5 bets on Roulette don't forget to use your Captains Club Match Play as well.

Was on the Constellation two weeks ago and was able to cash out 400$ OBC. Just got two 200$ tickets to play slot machines on two different days and played 1$ each time and cashed out.

For clarity: you cannot use the Match Plays when betting with promo chips.

I will have both refundable and nonrefundable OBC. Which do they take first?

We just returned from an Equinox cruise. Had lots of nonrefundable OBC so we transferred $100 at a time to our casino account. My understanding is that you have to play 10% before cashing out to prevent you from transferring OBC to your account and then cashing out immediately. 

Nope, got all my OBC out, but not all at once.  Took my time and always checked my account  

 

remaining balance.  The last evening, rounded off as close as possible to close out the OBC.  Gave it to my resort host.
