NCL Casino Slots and Norwegian Jade

So, this showed up on my cruise booking options recently. Never much for endlessly dropping money into a slot machine, I'll sometimes set a $20 limit per cruise just for the fun of it. However, this has me intrigued.

Anyone that's participated in this, can you give additional details on how this works on a cruise. For a 25-night - and on any NCL cruise for that matter - I'm assuming it's done just once?

It is just entertainment and dumb luck.  They do thsi usually in groups of 6 and I think all participants use the same type of machine.  Each is loaded with a set amount of dummy play.  You have a set amount of time to get the highest bank at the end.  The way to do it is to just hit the max play button as fasr as you can until the time is up.  After however rounds it take to eliminate all but one player, the person left get the entry into the finals on another cruise.  I am not sure if a cabn on the finals crusie is included or not.  Some of the casino contests it is and some it isn't.  As with most things, read the terms and conditions carefully befor buying! 🙂

Thanks. I looked at the entire page that lists the description and there are no terms and conditions, no asterisk, and no fine print. Other than calling the customer service number, and in all likelihood getting someone who has no clue, there are no other details.

Every cruise these days has the Winner Take All tournament qualifier. Usually held on sea days, you pay $30 to enter. Each round has a "winner" and you can replay as often as you like.

 

There's a bank of machines and after a countdown, everyone plays for two minutes to get the highest score. You may win a round but someone could end up with a score higher than yours. On the last sea day are the finals.

 

The top 10 from all rounds play to compete for 1) $500 and 2) a seat at the Winner Take All Tournament which, this year will be on Jade October 27. You only get a seat for this not a cabin which you have to pay for or have a comp.
