cheeseheads4ever Posted May 12, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Hello Everyone! I’m sure this has been covered in the past but wondering how this is handled post-Covid. Does Celebrity allow Celebrity perk issued OBC (onboard credit) to be used in the casino? We have a Jan, cruise coming up & have a lot of OBC. Thank you in advance.

wadden Posted May 12, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Just now, wadden said: Yes, definitely. Plus, usually on days 1 and 2 you can use OBC to purchase casino credit and if you spend $100+ you get a bonus of 10% pp. At least that's what happened on all our 'pre-covid' cruises.

cheeseheads4ever Posted May 12, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Thanks! was I correct that you go to Casino teller and load on like $50 or as much as you’d like? I guess I’m looking for details on how to do it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything beyond that would make the Casino lose significant edge with more professional players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseheads4ever Posted May 12, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Using Post-Covid Celebrity OBC. Not Pre Post-Covid OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted May 12, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 12, 2022 You can also pre-purchase casino credit, either slots or chips with the 10% bonus in your cruise planner. Then when onboard you just go to the cage and they take care of the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUTRAVEL Posted May 12, 2022 #9 Share Posted May 12, 2022 If you are playing table games, you go to the cashier and he/she will give you promotional chips (for non-refundable OBC). When you win at the table, you will be given "real" chips. We play Black Jack and most of the time we are able to covert the majority of our non-refundable OBC into cash. When you are done playing, take the "real" chips to the cashier and he/she will give you cash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseheads4ever Posted May 13, 2022 Author #10 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I’m talking Slots only. I don’t want to pre purchase. I have a lot of Celebrity OBC I want to use in slot machine. Sounds like I can but how doI do it? Go to cage and ask for a certain about to be put on your card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted May 13, 2022 #11 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Go to a machine and transfer from room account into the machine. The cage is not involved but they will give you instructions if you can’t figure it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartana Posted May 13, 2022 #12 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I seem to think we cashed in at the desk for a voucher for the slot machines allotting a certain amount to use at the machines. Or as mentioned above promotional chips for the tables. At the slot machines, we somehow entered our voucher info (maybe scanned it in) - Sorry, I can't really remember exactly, but I know for sure we used our OB credit only. We didn't have very good luck with the slot machines but had fun at the roulette table (once they broke our promo chips down so we could split up the bidding). We came out a bit ahead pocketing our winnings and just spending the promo chips. We had a great first time adventure "spending" some of our OB credit :) .

Rare Jim_Iain Posted May 13, 2022 #13 Share Posted May 13, 2022 On the Slot machines you click the little window and create an account. You log onto the account and click account. You can then click transfer and transfer money from your room account to your slot machine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Solstice Class still uses old school machines and magnet stripe cards, you got to get your casino credit as printed vouchers from the cashier and pray that they have big ones. Last weekend they gave me $3000 in 50s and a few 100s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you plan to cash out and take home as much as possible then slots should be last thing you want to play. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, almost always they will load it on your card that you then use to transfer amounts to the machine. One time they printed a ticket which could just be inserted into the machine.
