I am pretty sure casino would be open per maritime law since your are not doing a closed loop Us to Us port. The fact you end in a foreign port I believe allows casinos open while away from islands a certain distance. I would think at sea days yes, not sure while in between Hawaiian islands.

Hope logic is right and you do have casino availability.

The OP is going on a closed loop cruise. I would think the casino would be open as it sails between the Islands.

 

On the short cruises on the West coast from Long Beach, the casino is open about an hour after leaving the port. On the 4 day cruises, the ships stops at Catalina Island which is only 22 miles from Long Beach.

Yes you can gamble each evening. Although the Islands are not that far apart, they take the ship out into international waters during the night and then head into the ports in the morning hours. Casinos are closed of course while in port.
