Supposed to have $150 and D.O.U. When I get on Carnival Triumph in a couple months! The Casino was nice to me on the Legend, let's see if it keeps it up on the Triumph.

All Casino and Bingo cruise questions or what really means 'gambling on Carnival cruise ships'. If your Carnival cruise ship has a casino (all Carnival ships are equipped with a huge casino) you'll be definitely interested in this survey. As information, it covers all 'fun ship topics' in the category of 'Carnival Cruise Casino' - games and rules/policy, limits/table limits (minimum bet/winnings/payouts), credit/chips, gambling age limit/policy, the Carnival Players Club (points/VIP/comps), the Vault game specs, plus some Casino tips. This survey is integrated with Carnival Cruise Tips and Tricks.

Carnival Cruise Gambling in the ship's Casino

The first in the list of Carnival Casino comps (complimentary items and services to encourage players to gamble) is the free drinks. These real deals come with the proper Players Club status (if you earn a lot of points/jackpots).

Carnival Casino comps and perks - from free drinks to free cruise offers

It means for table games minimum bets of $50 per hand [green chips are $25] (the upper-level staff sign for these drinks, usually after you make 9000-12000 points on a sailing). There's also the 'On Us' casino drink program - when you reach 1500 points at the Slot Machines you get the 'Drink On Us' card - and complimentary drinks while playing in the casino for the rest of your cruise. Table Players can also qualify for the drink card - they'll need to ask the Pit Boss to get rated for this program.

• As you play, your S&S card will tell you how many points you've accumulated. When you make the 1500 points, call someone from the Casino staff and they'll add your free drink card to your onboard S&S card. Remember - the drink cards are provided only on longer sailings (7+ days). Cards are good only in the Casino, you must ask the Pit Manager to consider your betting.
• As additional perks, some players have received (even on more than one occasion) bottles of wine sent to their Main Dining Room tables, a wine&cheese basket or sweets sent to their cabins, free photo coupons. Sometimes they may get a 'future' free drink card plus free onboard credit. And these are huge comps compared to those offered in land-based casinos.
• A free Carnival cruise promotion for Players Club members. It's a limited-time based on availability promotion - on selected sailings you'll pay only the taxes, meaning the stateroom is for absolutely free.

Onboard Casino age limits, opening hours, slots, payouts

Carnival Cruise Line's Casino gambling age is 18+. The list of Casino games on Carnival cruise ships includes Black Jack, Craps, Poker, Roulette and various Slot Machines ($1-0,5-0,25-0,05) and penny slots ($0,02-0,01). As to the payouts - higher denominations machines have a higher payout rate (as percentages they are something like penny 88%, nickel & quarter 92%, dollar 94%. You should know that the casino is able to change the payouts for server-based slots as desired. On Carnival ships, the slot payout is around 80% (info based on internal sources). Now about the Casino hours:

• On sea days: slot machines (9AM), select tables (10AM), full casino (12PM-3AM), the hours may vary due to itineraries.
• On port days: closed while the ship is in port, opens after the ship sails (usually 30-60 min after leaving port). 'The Bahamas exception' - on ships staying overnight in Nassau, the casino is open during night hours, on ships calling on Half Moon Cay (private island) it may be open at the management's discretion.

Carnival Players Club - points, tournaments, member benefits, perks

Carnival's Players Club is via a partnership with Ocean Players Club (OPC corporation) and its membership is free - no need to sign up/fill out forms. All members are eligible to receive benefits/special offers. OPC has different membership levels based on the frequency of cruising and point levels.

Carnival ship casinos have slot machines with 'players cards'. The winnings pack on the card, and you can use it on other machines. It also monitors earned points. OPC players at table games are monitored and rated in order to earn points. Points are more easily earned on slot machines. Due to games' odds, players lose while playing slots more quickly than in table games. Therefore less time playing on slots is necessary for the OPC program. Carnival casinos charge a 3% service fee (on passenger's Sail & Sign cards). For high rollers, credit lines may be established prior to departure. Lines of credit are available up to $100,000.

• Play the slots, earn min 1000 points and you'll be automatically enrolled in the club. Don't forget to have your S&S Card inserted in the reader whenever you play, make sure the card is accepted (it will welcome you by your first name, and as you play it will show you how many points you have so far).
• For every 1000 points, you'll receive a $10 cash reward. The more points the more benefits - the free casino drinks (while playing) and the Carnival Players Club VIP cruise is among the most special. All Casino benefits and perks are based upon the frequency of sailing and point levels. Their list also includes special 'money' offers (up to 25% discounted rates, cashback up to $500 towards future sailings, from $50 up to $500 in casino cash), invitations for special events, VIP Casino Tournaments, lines of credit for high rollers, gifts and service discounts.
• Casino staff always keep notes about your gambling (spending) at the table, and at the end of your trip, they scan and send these notes to the OPC.
• Carnival Ocean Players Club (OPC) caters to casinos on all vessels/companies owned by Carnival Corporation (also members of the World's Leading Cruise Lines alliance) - Carnival (CCL), Princess, P&O, Costa, Holland America, Cunard, Seabourn, AIDA, Ibero. OPC Casino points are transferable (can be used on all their ships). For more info - call the Ocean Players Club (phone number 1-888-672-2582, call in day time hours/weekdays).

It's $1 per play, you can win an iPad and up to $500 cash packets (they don't replenish the vault during the sailing). The game resets after its 30sec timer expires. There are 4 levels (none of them at eye level, iPads are on the top row). In these 30sec by a toggle switch you have to line up the adjustable arm left and right, then when you push down on a rollerball it causes the arm to go forward (you can't stop the movement once it starts), the key has to go through a little lock and turn 180 degrees to release your prize.
