years ago on Celebrity I won $1,860 on a $1.80 bet

it was a gorilla jungle slot machine.

I hit the bonus 5 across and it was worth $1,800, then had 25 free spins and won $60

It should have been a small bet, but it was an unfamiliar machine, we were on our way out of the casino on the last night, and I did not take the time to take my reading glasses out of my purse. But a particular machine was calling me and I sat down. I put in $20, selected the button that I thought was fifty cents, and was appalled when I saw “Bet = $5.00” at the bottom of the screen.  Then I looked up and saw that I had won $690.00!

I won $1,600 on Serenade of the Seas last year on either a $0.40 or $0.80 cent bet. It was on the machine with the Koi Catch Bonus. I got into the wheel-spin bonus and it landed on the Regal Bonus. I wasn't playing the max so I wasn't eligible for the progressive but I was certainly happy with the win!

Saw a guy on the Jade turn a $10 craps bet into around $1800.  Placed the 10 for $10.  10 hits, parlayed the bet and moved to the 9. 9 hit, parlayed the bet and moved to the 8  8 hit, parlayed the bet and moved to the 6. 6 hit, parlayed the bet and moved to the 5. 5 hit, parlayed the bet and moved to the 4.  4 hit, he took the bet down... He called it "walking the dog".

Not sure if $5.28 is considered a small bet, but Idid hit the Grand on a machine with red envelopes (sorry don't know name),  while on the Allure 7/14/24.  Grand was $10,859.48.   My biggest win to date!  Allure was very generous that cruise, having 3 hand pays, I like to keep my bets around $5.

side question to your win - how did you take the money off the ship.  Did you have options, cash or check sent to you, or check given to you on board.  This is assuming that you did not give it all back during the course of the cruise.

I was on a cruise that had a slot tournament and the winner won $10,000, but I didn't ask him how they made him the money

 

thank you

roxievegas, the win was towards the end of the cruise, and I had been doing room charges to play, so I went and paid off my charges with the cash and only came home with $3000.  I was playing hot and heavy to make it to masters tier.

thank you for responding.  I wasn't sure if they would give you other options then cash.  I wouldn't want to fly home with that much in my purse.

congratulations.
