Has anyone ever hit a jackpot on slots on the ships?

I've done well this year. Hit the 5 Platinums on Quick Hits on Regal earlier this year for $7500, playing max bet $1.50. Also hit 4 aces and a deuce playing Double Double Bonus Poker for $1000 on Caribbean Princess in November ($2.50 per hand). Because of a previous Princess cruise, the casino also gave me $650 cash to play with...and I earned a free cruise with points. Also, sat to dinner with a woman on that same cruise who got the 5 Platinums playing max bet. Yay for her

On our very first cruise some 15 years ago, we were on a reposition from Miami to Rome with NCL. On the third day at sea, I put $10 in a slot and won $6000. The following day we were walking through the casino and my wife asked me to play the same machine again. I told her no way, I'll play the machine next to it and with another $10 won $3000. As we are British, we took the lot in cash and didn't have any tax deducted. The rest of the cruise was a dream.....

While cruising on the NCL Sky a couple of years ago with my girls friends, I was teaching them how to play craps. And BOY did we play. Of course, with the table limits, we only made a part of what we could have made, but it was sure exciting! I made enough to pay for my share of the Owner's Suite, shore excursions, plus bought $300 worth of pix to reminisce about the trip! We basically had the table to ourselves, so it was easy to teach them; and the dealers were newbies and learning, so I think the pit boss was appreciative that we were all okay with a slower pace. (Sorry, not a slot story...but a casino story nonetheless.)

I won slot 3 jackpots on my recent cruise on the Carnival Sunshine (03/04-03/11).

 

The first was for $1,039.00 on a $3.68 bet. The second was for $1,198.93 on a $2.00 bet. The last was for $3,368.17 on a $3.20 bet.

 

A good cruise all the way around. :)

I was on the Carnival Sunshine two weeks ago and playing a penny machine at 68 cents a spin. I hit the grand jackpot in the amount of $9187.06. I was in total shock because I too think the slots are tight on the ships. The next night another woman hit a jackpot of $4500.00.

 

It was an amazing evening.

yes, I have won $1000. on cruise ships. The last cruise in Jan. 2017 I won a free cruise playing in a slot tournament . 5 day cruise only. But I will be in a tournament that I can win up to $50,000. But free isn't really free. I still have to pay taxes, insurance, air fare, hotel room and tips. I wasn't going to go then I thought what the heck. Oh, the room is an inside one only. If I get a balcony add on another $1000.00. So free I am not sold on it.

I do get free drinks on the next cruise and also got it on the last cruise. ( only in the casino) I don't even drink.

will let you know in Dec. if I won anything on this special cruise.

 

I did see a guy win $2000.00 in the casino in Jan. And yes they came out with the forms to pay taxes.

Just off Crown Princess - Transatlantic. Hit a jackpot on 88 Fortunes of $1,440. On the same and neighboring machines hit the major three times for $1192, $990, and $8xx. Had a few other good regular play hits. Still came away down but had fun with all those sea days!

I rarely play slots, but hit a $3k jackpot on the NCL Breakaway earlier this month (last night of the cruise) while waiting for the poker table to open. It was a Quick Hits penny machine, and I was playing max bet $3.00.

Hit $9700.00 on Anthem last summer and $9200.00 on freedom in January. Sat next to a husband and wife that hit just under $15000.00 on grandeur in march. Very happy with machines on RCCL. Don't always win big but the machines seem to pay off. I like the new system. Have been on two free cruises and have two free cruises booked. Will always play enough to win a free cruise. Only need 2400 points on card for free inside cabin. 4800 for balcony. We've always had balconies. Going on b2b in October. Will have two more after that and 5 day in September will get one for that.
