Celebrity normally has a nice option for the casino, when you prebuy either casino ships or slots , you pay 50 and at the casino you get 55 in slot pay or chips.

This option is no longer available before any of our recent cruises.  I will keep an eye out after getting on board but I think they have stopped doing this very good promotion.

I had that last several cruises including just a few months ago, but it isn’t on my cruise this week , I hope they bring it back.

That depends on your casino status and cabin type. Generally, no, you will pay a fee. But if you have casino status or stay in a suite this will be waived.

You can transfer money from your onboard account to a slot machine with no fee regardless of your casino status.  You can also transfer money from your onboard account to a table game, but you will be charged a percentage fee, unless your status provides for waiving the fee.  Almost all the slot machines onboard have the ability for you to do this transfer right at the machine by tapping your seapass card and accessing your onboard account with a password.

Although no longer available, when you purchased the "$50 plus 10%"(up to $500) be aware that when you play any of that money(i.e. $50 + $5)) you do not earn credits. Casino Host said you received a bonus of 10% already.

Off topic question 

 

How much OBC can you Pre-purchase for a cruise 

 

On the website it limits it to $200 

 

Can you get up to $500 if you call in? 

I am on an upcoming cruise (April 15th) and have pre-purchased $450 for which Celebrity has sent a conformation for,

I’m getting a mix of answers. I want to be able to put my Sea Pass card in and transfer money from my account directly to a slot machine like I do on Princess. One of you said that is possible. Have others been able to do this, too? 
 

Can you choose to put cash into the machine if they don’t let you transfer money to a slot machine directly from your account? I just want to avoid paying a fee.

 

Thank you all for your input!

I just got off the Solstice nine days ago.  I couldn't remember how to get money onto my Sea Pass card and so I had to ask an attendant (I was thinking I could do it at the slot machine, but "no dice.").  😁  Had to go up to the cashier window to do it.  Don't know if there's a limit or not, as I only put $50 into my "bank."   I'm not a big gambler.  I played in 10-15 minute increments on four days and went home $420 to the good playing the quarter slots.  🤑

There are two systems.  The older system, which my anecdotal evidence says is on the non-revolutionized ships, is that you ask the cashier to transfer some multiple of 50.00 (today someone told me on the Infinity it's 5 - I'll see tonight).  You get a ticket for 50.00, which you can put in a slot machine, play, and then cash out for a redemption ticket, which you can give to the cashier and get cash (or keep playing with it - my sister ran down to about 4.00 before cashing in last cruise).  I think you have to actually put it in a machine, and not just walk back to the cashier with the slip they gave you.

 

On the revolutionized ships you can load the machine directly from your card.

Yes, that is the more detailed version of what I did on the Solstice recently.  The money amount went onto a slip that I put into the slot machine in order for it to go to my "bank."  When I hit $108.50 within 10 minutes, I cashed out, took my slip to the cashier and got the green stuff, totally stoked to be up a whopping $58 (like, I said, not much of a gambler). The following days I just put cash into the machines because I wasn't going to gamble much..
