KiddieKruzer Posted October 23, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I recently played onboard and something dawned on me - it’s all electronically calculated - making it easily manipulated! How does one know the $ value of a case isn’t truly assigned at time the final case is opened? They know how many cards are sold, who holds a card with X amount of matches. Etc. That’s how they tell you how the audience is doing. on this one particular NCL game, the cruise line sold let’s say sold 200 cards at $35 each ($7,000 in sales). They gave back $1.00 from the “winning case”, 4 photos (worth Pennies), and 1 $ $50 winner. Later in the same week, the outcomes from the other games were similar. That’s CrAzY! They are raking in the cash! Same thing with ELECTRONIC bingo. At $50 a pack of bingo cards, Let’s pull some real balls! Who audits these at sea money making scams?!?! Playing odds Similar to the slot machines in the casino I suppose 🤷🏻♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or not. we realized what a sham Deal or no Deal was the first time we played it, and have never been back. Same with Bingo. What they charge to play and what they return in winnings is ridiculous.

hallux Posted October 23, 2022 #6 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Don't get me started on Bingo! On my first cruise, on Royal, they had people with electronic devices playing along with people using manual cards. Gee, wonder who gets an advantage there.
