Casino on a cruise ship?

[Davidvictorson]

Has anyone here had the opportunity to try out the casino on a cruise ship? I've heard many stories about them, and I'm curious to learn about the similarities and differences compared to land-based casinos. I'm particularly interested in hearing from someone who has firsthand experience playing in a cruise ship casino.

Specifically, I would like to know:

Operating Hours: Do cruise ship casinos operate 24/7 like their land-based counterparts?
Payouts: Are the payout rates comparable to land-based casinos?
Betting Limits: What are the minimum betting limits? I know that some land-based casinos start at $20.
Game Variety: Can I find the same range of games offered in land-based casinos on cruise ships?

I have been just once when I was in Italy and had a vacation with the Costa Crociere (ship vacation company) they had a simple casino there with not many games at least simple to me I don't know what someone will call a casino full of slot machines with many times the same slot and a couple of roulette tables is what I remember,they had surely a lower bet than 20 in slot machines while they had about 10 EUR as a minimum roll on the roulette.

The experience is a good one to have a good time while you are having a vacation but those casino do not give you the same experience of a land based casino,a big one land based casino or an online casino,they are just for fun to enjoy a good time while on vacation but rarely I have heard someone to have hit it big in a ship casino.

I have not, but it will be a luxury experience. Most cruise ships give and offer various activities to ensure that the trip is enjoyed by passengers onboard, and for gamblers, there could be a casino operating onboard.

Operating Hours: Do cruise ship casinos operate 24/7 like their land-based counterparts?

It is a cruise ship, and your journey starts from when you get onboard to when you get down from the ship, if Ship casino's will operate and be open 24/7 for gamblers (it will depend on the cruise ship), but if they operate 24/7, not every game will be available everytime of the day. Table games that require the presence of a casino worker may have a time in the day when it can be played. Games like slots that can be played on slot machine can be open 24/7 for gamblers to play on.

Game Variety: Can I find the same range of games offered in land-based casinos on cruise ships?

Because interests are different, there will be a range of games in these casino's to meet the interest of every gambler onboard.

I watched movies which showed cruise ship casinos near to Bangkok not sure if it's true but the I remember some movies after this thread.

Even though it may potentially operate 24/7, logically it will be fully packed on the party hours not just the whole day.
Even higher than land based casinos.
I assume they allow only the premium level customer not everyone so the minimum betting amount should be atleast over hundred.
Same as the land based casinos.

I haven't actually tried betting in a casino on a cruise ship but I have seen one! The reason why I didn't bet there is because I was busy with other things and I'm sad that I missed the chance because the cruise was very luxurious and I saw many gamblers in the casino already playing! I wish I had time for it.

I think it would have been a good experience gambling at sea. The payout rates are kind of the same as land based casinos and I believe that most large/big cruise ships have a casino and there are probably rewards such as earning a free cruise at some point. That's what I know so far.

I've never experienced one myself but can only imagine they are exactly like land based equivalents, though I do wonder how devices like a roulette table would work during rough seas and the constant movement that would bring - guess it just keeps it super random. They would probably work similar hours, or at least with a skeleton amount of staff overnight, because that's often when people hit them up after a nice evening of entertainment elsewhere on the ship. The payouts and buyins will cover a broad range but they tend to avoid anything that falls below a dollar on table games and would likely have the full range of slot games. In reality most land based casinos don't have a huge amount of variety, the slot machines can have many games built in though and it's easy to keep adding more.

Based on what I read, there is still some casino on cruiseship because we all know that it is still an entertainment. But i cannot be compared to land based since we can imagine the space and only the amount of people can a cruiseship casino can accomodate. So I think you can still find some of the games that you may see in land based casinos but about betting limits I don't have an idea to that.

I've been on a cruise ship but did not play at the casino, as I was a teenager back then and traveling with my parents. They did not have a 24h service there, but it was open during the day and most of the night. As far as I remember it was closed down late at night, maybe at 2 or 3 a.m. I had other better things to do at the time and I remember the bets were high. Basically all my pocket money would be enough for 1 or 2 bets. The casino wasn't big. It had a roulette and a card table that's what I remember, and the rest of it was slots. A ton of slot machines, basically 10 slots fore every other game.
It was a cruise from on the South coast of Europe from Greece to France.

[Oasisman]

I've never been into a cruise ship, but my cousin worked there. I've seen a video of him touring around the ship and of course there's a place for gambling (I know it's a casino), it's not that much there are only a couple tables available for card games and majority are slot machines. So, i think it's not something really similar to a land base casino since a cruise ship offers a lot of amenities and gambling are most likely not the passengers priority, rather it's just something they put there if someone wants to have a little fun gambling. Though it's a luxury ship but I think people in there may not engage with massive bets compared to the land base casinos.

[blockman]

Not been into it but I've known someone that's been there and told me the name of their ship and it tends out that there's a casino. So, if you're trying to go on a cruise, much better to inquire about the ship that you're about to board and ask for these details relative to their casino services. But I think that there is not that much difference at all compared to land casinos that we've got.

[dothebeats]

I watched a few videos about it, and regarding these specifics, I'd say that it's actually pretty similar to land-based casinos on a lot of things. The games are the same, the payouts are the same, although the number of machines and live tables will surely be lesser to take into account the operating cost of the said casino in the cruise ship. It will be a really unique experience though, but certainly not one that I'm looking to experience in the near future since land-based casinos are already providing the experience in gambling that I'm looking for.

[un_rank]

I do not have first hand experience but I can imagine they would try to make the experience as similar as possible to what their players are used to on land. If there are any changes, they would not be too obvious for everyone to see.

There expectedly will be a higher overhead cost to cover the cost of renting a spot on a cruise ship. Paying the workers to abandon all they have on their hands and their cost of accommodation would also raise the cost of operation which has to be accounted for one way or the other.

Only a few would really be making or would be able to answer up this questions that precisely since not all would really be having the chance nor opportunity on being onboard on a cruiseship considering on the price
that it would really be having on a single night specially into those big ones who does have that kind of city like kind of ammenities or places inside. Once a cruiseship does have those kind of venue then expect that
this is something that it is really that huge one.

Making out some assumptions and i dont know if this one would really be that accurate but with some common sense then its not had to answer up these questions.
1. 24/7? Possible because passengers could really be that awake on certain period of time and might be playing on a casino, staffs would really be having those shifts.
2. Payout? For sure it would really be just the same, because if theres some increase then it might be a bonus, neither of the two.
3. Similar or not, most of the time it would be always identical
4. The more the better,eh?

A standard cruise ship should have provisions for casino. It's one game the rich play often mostly on grand voyages.
Am very certain that on like the Titanic, ship designers has been able to make adjustments to fit in any design they want, even yatches could have casino rooms built in.

It would be standard according to the size of the entire vessel, am sure majority of the land based games would also be available on the cruise casino.

The payouts may have to be on land, perhaps after docking, the winners can visit land based centres to redeem winnings.

Maybe when Bitcoin goes to a million, I would really love to try that but for now that I can just barely make ends meet, not yet. I don't think they can operate 24/7 considering most of those who will just play out there are in the same day/night unless they are employee that has their own shifts, it can't be operated 24/7. For game variety I think it may cater same ranges of ships if a cruise ship is too huge.

Those who joined the cruise ship are considered rich and capable of spending more, so technically Casinos should be there because there's money in a cruise ship. Grand voyages are more possible to have one, though I still have no experience about the cruise ship but you can easily see a casino on every Vlog about their cruise experience, and I think they also follow the standard of a regular casino, same probability to win as well. Though I don't think Casino should be on your list if you're on a cruise ship since you're there to experience other things and not just to spend most of your time in Casinos.

[goaldigger]

Casinos on a cruise ship will also be like on a physical casinos, so I think spending much of time here might not be worth it especially if you are on a cruise ship for other purpose. Though when you’re in a cruise ship you are being forced to spend more as many attractive shops that you might get interested, and a casinos is also one of those. Its ok to try and have fun as well, beside its all boils down about your budget when taking on a cruise ship, and usually you’re with your family so you might not want them to know your gambling activities.

I also have not played on cruise casinos but it's important for a Cruise ship to have a casino to entertain their visitors because onboarding cruise ships can take you days to arrive at the port of destination, and they are aware that there are visitors who love or crave to gamble, physical casinos offer free drinks and perks but on cruise casinos, they are not offering free drinks with some exception to other cruise ships.
I think it's better for physical casino players to be aware of the difference between playing in a land base casino and a casino on a cruise ship because.

I haven't had the opportunity to visit one just yet but I've had friends more successful than me talk about their cruise ship stories, and it includes leisure.

Most of these cruise ships will have a dedicated place for gambling and games, billiards, chess, even table tennis for some ships. But let's talk about the gambling part.

Pay-rates are so-so as I told, some hold sizable treasuries capable of supplying prizes for jackpot winners, some are not.
Like most establishments within the ship, they operate on a schedule, no later than the evening, so crews can clean up and prepare for next date.
I wasn't able to ask how much the betting entry is, but for sure there's one.
As for game variety, you'll have what they can only provide. Staples such as roulette, poker, and sometimes even slots are readily available, games like billiards where you can create personal bets with opponents are available too.

That's about it I guess. Again I'm using information referred to me by my friends, so I can't really vouch for the authenticity, but for what it's worth, After conducting some research myself I think it all adds up.
