HAL Casino Questions

[fkfad]

I have been given free play on our upcoming cruise and I have some questions for those familiar with the HAL casinos (no matter which ship).

 

1)  Do you have to play all of your free play in one sitting?  In other words, if I'm given $200 in free play and choose to play blackjack, can I play $100 one day and the other $100 another day?

2)  The $6 blackjack (assuming this is still an option) has a side bet known as Royal Match.  What is the payout for this?  If I recall correctly, it's two to one for any matching suit, and 25 to one for a Royal Match (king and queen of hearts), along with other payouts depending on the combinations.  Is this correct?

3)  Can I share my free play chips with my husband?

 

Thanks in advance for any information!

I can't answer all of your questions but as far as #1 - you are given free play chips (I believe in denominations of $5) that look different than the regular chips.  You can play these whenever you want and don't have to use them all in one day.  As far as #3, I doubt you can share them and you might get in trouble if they catch you doing that since they are clear in the emails that the free play is intended only for the recipient of the offer.

You can have free play either as chips or loaded onto your card for machine play. You don't have to play it all at once and the table limits are still $5. I don't play blackjack so I can't verify about the specific game you've asked about.
