Most you won @ gambling & which ship?

[hatchetjack5]

I always do the slots (not much at cards), I won $125 on the Celebrity last year. I had only spent around $10 when I hit.

[lavigne101]

We were on the Noordam this past March and I hit and 1800.00 jackpot on the slots....even better...on the last day! Paid for our bill..nice to walk away with a zero balance for the credit card. :D

[bubbles1209]

I won at 3 card poker this past Feb. on the Miracle. I finally hit my straight-flush and walked out with $860.00.:D

[FloridaLaura]

Wheel of fortune $1.00 slot paid out $850.00 :)

[okgirl]

I won $2000 on the Conquest this past February playing the $1 Wheel of Fortune..........and yes I do have to declare it as income and had to fill out a W2-G :mad: ...........that just seems wrong.........International waters on a ship regestered in Panama........Uncle Sam can get to you anywhere :rolleyes:

[jpurdy]

Won the jackpot for penny slots for 130.00 dollars. I think it was a cruise... Are there penny slots on cruises? Maybe I'm wrong and it was somewhere else!

[lcpagejr]

Drew a straight flush in Carribean stud poker...won 10% of jackpot $2400. Good thing I played the $1 bonus because dealer didn't open!

[BrendaB1]

Won more than enough to pay for my 7 day cruise several years ago on Inspiration.

Won several small jackpots on Liberty 8 day cruise on quarter slots & gambled all week & still came home about $500 ahead. :D

[yogimax]

Two dollars on the Victory!

[denb]

$4000+ on Legend last year playing a $5 Double Diamond slot with less than $100 played in. Needless to say, I was very happy.

 

As far as paying taxes on winnings outside the U.S., see: http://www.cruise-casinos.com/jackpots.htm

[deborahjo]

47.00 on Texas Tee solt machine on the Liberty last October.

Put 4 nickles in and won $50 dollars and took 1 dollar of that and put it in the dollar slots and won $400 on the Elation on the first day of the cruise 04/04/04 :D

[LetsSailAway]

Someone (not me darn-it!) won $10,000 on my Miracle cruise a few months ago. I don't know what machine it was on or how much he played on that spin, but I heard he hadn't been playing it long when he hit. And this was on a sea day at the beginning of the cruise!

[dbrucern]

I was lucky enough to earn myself 4 tax forms on the Legend in November

[reno3]

Didn't win in the casino but did win $500.00 the first night of bingo last week on the Legend:D and came home with it:D :D

[NCTribeFan]

Won $500 on a Red, White & Blue slot machine on my first cruise on Jubilee. Of course, I was alternating playing one quarter, then 2, then 1, etc. Naturally, I hit on the 1 quarter. If it had been the pull before, it would've been $2,000. Still nice win for that inexpensive cruise.

 

In December, I was up about $100 on the last night. I had "replaced" my other spending money, and went to the casino one last time. Oh, and I'd had quite a lot of wine. You see I "had" to finish that bottle that I had in the dining room, and I had those drink coupons that were unused.

 

;)

 

Was playing the quarter Wheel of Fortune and was up about $150, so I moved over to the center $1 machine because I just knew I was going to win.

 

Cashed out with $899. :D

 

My gambling budget is $50/day. If I lose that, I stop. If I win, I replace my previous losses. Anything above that goes into the bank when I get home to cover my S&S charges. In this case, the extra went straight into my Glory cruise fund.

[funat55]

Me, nothing. But last year on the Carnival Freedom, my sister won just a little over $17,000 over the 12 day cruise. Each jackpot was on quarter poker and the largest was $8,000.00 and several smaller jackpots. Her winnings were reported but they didn't take any taxes out.

[sheri18]

My DH hit a $ 13,500.00 jackpot on the Glory in Feb..as well as 2-$1200.00

[USA41018]

$200.00 on the quarter slots on the Fantasy last year. Left casino, went directly to the purser's desk and put it on my "Sign & Sail"

[JGB]

I have actually had good luck on Carnival cruise ships despite poor slot pay outs. On one cruise I hit 2 Royal Flushes on the dollar poker machines for a total of 8k.

On another I again had 2 RF's plus 4 of a kind on let it ride for a additional $2250. In fact I have had a total of 7 RF's on Carnival.(I play alot)
