LounVal Posted January 15, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 15, 2009 How big of a casino bankroll do you like to bring on board with you? Everyone talks about how much they spend on drinks I thought it would be interesting to see what people are willing to blow in the casino. DW and I like to bring $100-$200 a day to play with. How about you??:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckysll Posted January 15, 2009 #2 Share Posted January 15, 2009 That's usually about how much I allow, too. I don't drink much onboard, or spend money on pictures, souvenirs or other things, so the casino is my "entertainment". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiselover** Posted January 15, 2009 #3 Share Posted January 15, 2009 My husband and I usually each take about $100.00 per day to "donate" to the Carnival casinos. After the beating our mutual funds took in the last quarter of 2008, I am sorry we didn't gamble more of our money away on our last cruise though. It would have been ALOT more fun to lose the money that way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slotaddict Posted January 15, 2009 #4 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Usually about $ 300.00 a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casino Player Posted January 16, 2009 #5 Share Posted January 16, 2009 How big of a casino bankroll do you like to bring on board with you? Everyone talks about how much they spend on drinks I thought it would be interesting to see what people are willing to blow in the casino.DW and I like to bring $100-$200 a day to play with. How about you??:cool: I usually have allocated between $500-$1,000 a day. But then again I play table games which gives the player a better chance at winning than slot machines do.

BambiRumsey Posted January 16, 2009 #6 Share Posted January 16, 2009 wow, I guess I am small time....I take $20 per day for slots. I play until the 20 is gone. If I double or better my money, I cash out and come back later or another day with the original $20. I view it more as a video game than gambling really....

jetskier Posted January 16, 2009 #8 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I budget $100 per day for blackjack. My wife has $20 per day for slots. I usually win, she donates. In the past three cruises, I won $1400. She lost about $300. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marimojo Posted January 16, 2009 #10 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Last cruise, DS and I had $100 a day - the first day he won over $600 (craps), so I didn't need any money on the second day (I took some of his winnings), by the end of the second day, we had our original $100 - he took $60 of that for the Texas Holdem tourney - he won that (I think about $350) - I took some of his tourny winnings again (lost them on slots) - We left the ship with our original $100... Hope we are that lucky on our next cruise. I usually budget a set amount, about $300, and when that is gone, no more casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanyanubin Posted January 16, 2009 #11 Share Posted January 16, 2009 wow-----no wonder cruise lines can afford to price rooms the way they do. wow. If people are spending for drinks the way they do, and at the casino like this. (my husband, too) wow. Just think of what this generates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Days Posted January 16, 2009 #13 Share Posted January 16, 2009 wow, I guess I am small time....I take $20 per day for slots. I play until the 20 is gone. If I double or better my money, I cash out and come back later or another day with the original $20. I view it more as a video game than gambling really.... Same here. This applies to stand alone casino's also. I never take more then $20 in, when I lose that I am done. If I make win over that, then I cash out my winnings and keep playing on what ever of the orgianal $20 I had. I play quarter slots and have won upwards of $500 so I was pretty happy with that. I figure I can lose $20 and not be too upset about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiagolfer Posted January 16, 2009 #14 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Depends on the cruise (ports vs. sea days). If we have a very active port day, spend little to no time in casino that evening. sea days, spend a good part of afternoon and evening (after shows) in casino. Average allowing $200 daily for casino entertainment for myself, and $10 (entire cruise) for the DW in nickle slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmberMarie Posted January 16, 2009 #15 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I usually only allow about 300 for the entire cruise. I only lost about 200 on this last cruise. Wasted money on video poker and slots, should have stuck with roulette (which I also lost on, but was doing better at). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
