Bubble Craps / Shoot to Win machines on Carnival ships (or other lines?)

[angela12345]

Looking to find out what ships these are on nowadays ?  
 
According to the slot locator that used to be on the manufacturer's website (Aruze Gaming https://aruzegaming.com/slot_locator/), Carnival has 14 of the Shoot to Win craps machines.  I would guess they're spread around on all the ships/brands under the Carnival corporate umbrella (Cunard Costa Princess etc), not just the Carnival brand ships.  There definitely used to be one on Carnival Magic.  Are they on any other lines (Royal, Norwegian, etc) ?

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but...

 

My wife doesn't recall seeing Shoot To Win on Carnival Pride or Vista, but to be clear she isn't positive it wasn't in either casino. She knows I enjoy playing live craps so she'll check out the ship casino when she solo cruises.

 

There are definitely data errors in the Aruze locator search, if you can even access it. Right the URL returns the 404 error and a link doesn't appear on the company site. I used the locator a number of times over the years specifically for Shoot To Win. For a long time, it would report the existence of a Shoot To Win device in Las Vegas, with a map showing its location squarely in Lake Erie, north of Cleveland. From what I could tell, the locator wasn't updated regularly, at least not for Shoot To Win.  

 

According to a gambling forum member who lives in Sin City, many of the Aruze Shoot To Win devices were removed from Las Vegas casinos, ostensibly because of machine downtime. FWIW, I haven't seen a new Shoot To Win install at a casino in a long time. Anecdotally, from what I have seen most electronic craps installations in recent years have been Interblock devices or, on rare occasion, Aruze Roll to Win (which will likely never be placed on a cruise ship because of space and leasing requirements). 

 

Finally, to end on a good note, I posted a picture I took last month of the mini craps table (live) on HAL Zaandam in the Cruise Casinos subforum. $5 minimum, 2x odds, no bonus bets. Not great, but at least craps was an option. No electronic craps on Zaandam.

 

Good luck with your search.

Thanks so much for the reply !  I am hopeful.  I emailed the Players Club to see if I could get an exact answer, for Carnival Corp brands at least.  There definitely used to be one on Magic, I spotted it Feb 2018.  The slot locator tool, I used pre-covid to find out they had 14.  Now I'm curious, what's a mini craps table ?  I'm going now to go check out your post on that .....

Anyone seeing this post, please let us know if you've seen these machines anywhere !  Thanks

@angela12345  Interblock has a request information form at the bottom of the webpage linked below. If you're interested, contact the company and ask whether their electronic craps games are available on cruise ships you're looking at booking.
