5 Cruise Ship Casino Secrets They Don't Tell You

Creator's Key Takeaways
Most cruise ship casinos pay 6 to 5 on getting a blackjack. Which means if you bet $10, you win $12
The largest reported jackpot on a cruise ship casino in the past year was about $135,000
The drinks aren't even free necessarily. Now, for regular cruise ship gamblers who are members of their loyalty program, you can get comped free drinks once you achieve a certain status level
Cruise lines have a lot of discretion in offering free cruises. I've heard people tell me that they play $2 to $3,000 and earn a free cruise
