Most ships use either cash (bills only) or your cruise card.

So how does the payout work? Does the machine give you paper receipt or coins?

From what I remember from my last Princess cruise, you get a receipt which you take to the cage to get your cash.

At the slots you can insert cash and receive credits or you can also receive credits from your cruise card. If you wantto cash out you must use your cruise card though and it will send your winnings to your cruise card which you create a pin # for. You go to the cage and swipe your card, insert your pin #, and sign a receipt and you are then given cash for your winnings. At the tables you can use cash or card to receive chips and to cash those out you just bring them to the cage.

You are not given a paper receipt. You insert your cruise card and open a 'slot bank' on your cruise card (if you need assistance to start with, staff members will be there to help). It is not actually linked to your shipboard account although on the same card. You put your winnings on your card by pushing a few buttons on the machine, and then you have the option of moving to another machine and inserting your card, and taking whatever you like out of that to play again, (as much or as little as you want), or you can take your card to the casino cage and cash it out whenever you like. ;) But Princess slots do not spit out little paper slips to take to the casino cage, and I have never seen a Princess ships that does it that way. It used to be you had to wait for a staff member to come over, fill out a slip, have it verified and signed, and then you could take it to the cage. No more waiting for all this to take place, your cruise card does it all. ;)

When we were on the CB in December, the machines I played paid in coins. I chose not to use my cruise card, I prefer to live off the grid! ;):p

They seem to be changing the slots now, and I have read that they are no longer paying off in coins as they used to.

What I'm reading is the slots pay out not in coins but ticket, right?

 

Has anyone ever hit in the casino?

Actually NO. They don't pay out with a ticket, you must download your win to your slot bank on your cruise card.
