Great to see cruise casino as that's all I play on. Comps are great! Finding low volatility machines is a bit of a struggle.

[@cindy7367-y1i]

Looks like a beautiful ship and large casino area. Thank you for the tour. Have a fun and relaxing vacation.

[@bobmoore1383]

GREAT INFO, WISHED IT COVERED MORE/LASTED LONGER-THX!!!

[@GambleSmart]

i will work on a part 2 bob

[@CMajestik7]

Great video with pointing out your selections. Hoping that you get some live play recorded for us. If not, enjoy your cruise and thanks for recording what ya can! Thanks Jodie for allowing it 😊

[@FunTimePlaying]

Nice, thank you. I've never been on a cruise and was wondering if the $1,200 handpay still applies when out on the water.

[@YouChwb]

If you're cruising off Australia from Au port to Au port, you pay no tax on your winnings. The ship's crew and staff also get Australian award wages whilst working in Oz waters, which is a great bonus for them and a happy crew/staff is a great crew/staff. This info I learned 5 years ago, so whether it is still the case in both points, I don't know. IMO, slot machines should be banned

[@AlexP253]

IRS wants their cut on all US citizens regardless of where you earn it. The trick to Australia may be AU point to point they won’t report it, possibly, but it’s still taxable income…unfortunately

[@jerimoravits9555]

I cruised on Harmony in April, thoroughly enjoyed the casino!

[@michele5327]

Glad u found some playable machinex. Hope Jodes is in Spa!

[@Justhavnfun]

Lots of high volatility machines! They definitely want your dollar. I am also surprised there wasn't a TD. Have a great time!

[@AWaterBear]

We're heading there this September so thank you for the tour!!

[@stevekeehan6392]

Marc says it the way it is and thats don't play to long or you will most likely go bust . Thanks again ! Marc enjoy your vacation.

[@pennsylvanialowroller9087]

Thanks for the walkthrough. I have done a lot of cruising in the past but do not play much in the the casino. I usually play some video poker if I find s decent pay schedule.

[@kevindeal8176]

Thanks Marc, have fun !

[@henthepen]

Marc If cruise ships have to pay the Nevada rate aren't they about the same? Or do casinos in Nevada pay higher that the state min?

[@iam.justshar]

Thanks for the video, will be cruising on Harmony in October. I've done better in cruise casinos than on land and the comps are good. Just won my first jackpot over the weekend on A Carnival cruise.

[@maryannsmith3815]

Thanks Marc safe travels

[@janetsulich464]

Thank you. Enjoyed the tour. Must hv been early in the morning you recorded. No one in there. 6/5 video poker is awful. All the shipping casinos are not gd. Well I hope to see yr win 🎉 in a future video. Hope yr enjoying yr vacation!😅

[@rs3018]

Nice! I wasn't expecting the casino to be that mice on a cruise ship and with all the current slot machines

[@Jawsfan6]

Nice video! I didn’t realize how modern all of their games would be. I wonder if any cruise ships have old school WMS or IGT machines. Also, isn’t payback percentage over millions of spins? Would each patron really be able to notice a lower payback percentage?

[@Linda-mr6ft]

Been on Allure, it’s a good ship. Have a wonderful time. Question, 2 weeks ago someone won the Grand $84,000 on a Dragon Link on a cruise ship. Winner gets paid, attendant opens machine and Grand goes to $73,000. Attendant sees that, opens machine in front of all passengers watching him and the Grand gets reset to $50,000. Is that legal to change the amount of money?????? Thank you

[@ClubMikeV]

6/5 Jacks - not surprised; that’s expected for a cruise casino. 7/5 at dollars. Wonder if it’s better if you changed the denom to $5? 🤔 Great tour Marc. Hope you are enjoying your cruise and getting some much needed relaxation. 😎

[@VegasEducation]

Ive only been on one cruise ship and this is the one 😂

[@rosemaryteddy8591]

Hey Marc thanks for the video. Hope y'all are having a a Blast. Has Jodes and you been to the Spa yet? Take Care and have a great time.

[@Fat_Buddha]

Really like your vids, keep up the good work! If you could do Carnival Celebration next, I'm going at end of September. I'm interested in Roulette 😂

[@Ocean_breezes]

I've been on all those RC cruises. The Allure, the Oasis. All beautiful ships. This video brought back great memories. Thanks Marc. Enjoy the cruise and the shows. And careful how much you eat lol ! You should do a video of the entire ship. It's amazing. Especially the pool areas

[@revcounselor]

Thanks for posting this. I have always wondered about payouts on a cruise ship, especially on video poker. I'm wondering if high-volatility poker, such as DDB, has better payouts.

[@4jp]

6/5 jacks or better is terrible. 7/5 is not much better for high limit. The sweepstakes casinos use 6/5 too, so they are likely as bad or worse than a cruise ship casino when it comes to RTP.

[@Fat_Buddha]

Ive been watching tour videos of the ship I'll be on. I'm seeing a lot of machines where the Grand is just a static number, it seems to be $10k on all the machines. Is this typical, and does that help/hurt chances of hitting it at all?

[@WulfTrax]

Unfortunately, not surprising results. Thanks for the tour, Marc!

[@CleverGirl48]

I love cruises! We did the Mediterranean last year, next year its the 16 day Hawaii..This will shock you, I don’t gamble onboard 🫣..Its true! Have fun you 2 & happy anniversary ❤

[@aces7515]

I’ve been on two cruises and hit a royal both times. If you gamble, you’ll receive offers from the cruise lines that are better than land based casinos.

[@harveyh3696]

6/5 Video Poker. Amazing, and not in a good way. I'm assuming they don't have 3/2 Blackjack tables. This is the first video I've seen on casino cruising and seeing pay scales on VdPk. Thanks!

[@Leo-vk6qm]

I finished my RC cruise $450 up which still wasn't enough to pay off my drinks bill...lol Australians love gambling on cruise ships cause we can get comps which land based casinos are prohibited from giving in Australia.

[@AlexP253]

Generally you don’t get “free” cruises… you get “pre-paid” cruises 🤪

[@toma1435]

No top dollar or pinball ?

[@carirussell292]

My mom loves fortune harmony. What do you say about those? I missed it.

[@user-qe6io2mm1l]

Very few people there.

[@kameronvangilst2157]

What does 6/5 mean??

[@zekebones34]

The theoretical payback % should be posted by the cage, would be nice to know that

[@GambleSmart]

I’ll check, would be surprised if they did but who knows!

[@zekebones34]

I play at Grand Victoria in Elgin, IL. It’s posted by the cage, 89.03% 🤮

[@The_CruiseDude]

Curious, did they have any of the Casino Wizard Table Games machines?

[@GambleSmart]

Nope, didn't see any.

[@The_CruiseDude]

@@GambleSmart Okay, thanks for the info!

[@garrettmeyer6416]

So what's "6/5" mean. I play exclusively Jacks or Better on video poker and have never heard that term.

[@4jp]

the majority of paytables use the same pays for everything except the full house and the flush. 6/5 is 6 credits won per credit wagered for full house and 5 per coin wagered on the flush. It results in a ~95% return to player with perfect strategy.

[@tkell31]

6/5 ouch. 95%, 7/5 better but still pretty bad at 96.15%. Given how bad they are I think I would steer clear of all the slots.

[@donnaholmes8921]

Are u going to record any gambling while ur there?

[@Gailesch]

I do love I ❤ FREE Games!

[@AdamsExploits]

6/5 Job is 95% 7/5 Job 96.15 that's bad but should be better than their slots. I'm guessing they might be 85%. You'd know better than I would Marc.

[@GambleSmart]

All the slots are most likely below 90%

[@RonnRicco]

Are we going to see you playing on the casino?

[@thedude350]

Man I would pass on Video Poker so there goes my cruise

[@donnaholmes8921]

I’m going in September on that ship! Are yall having a good time?

[@GambleSmart]

it’s a great time and the food has been amazing

[@jasonwallace9442]

What about the smaller no smoking casino across from blaze?

[@GambleSmart]

I somehow missed that! Gonna go check it out before we disembark.

[@ryanbrandt5404]

Not one ap game? Pass

[@tommynagy7484]

No top dollar or pinball? Ouch. Definitely not appealing

[@barryfish5280]

These slots are setup the same as every other Casino. Them being ✌🏿tighter✌🏿 is a myth

[@GambleSmart]

Not always, we just provided proof that the video poker games are set at the lowest possible. I also have some leaked images of showing payback % on slots on casinos. Definitely lower than most land based.

[@mindsetmotivation9124]

No pinball huh? Top Dollar?

[@guidoyanovich01]

That was fun! Thanks Marc!

[@irene1655]

When I went on a Carnival cruise I won the 1000 credits on a 25¢ TOP DOLLAR, one of my very favorite games. But the "classic" not the reissued ones, those are no fun, and I spent 3 days in Yuma trying to enjoy them, I did not. Have a great time. See you soon
