Creator's Key Takeaways

I wasn't planning to play in the casino on this cruise ship, but I ended up winning over two grand.

I learned that when you play in the casino, your deals that you get are based on your status with the casino.

He said, 'Why are you trying to charge $700 to a machine? First of all, do you know that there's a $500 transaction limit per machine?'

If you don't play at least 63% on that machine that I charge that I make the transaction on, your card will be locked up.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Know the $500 per machine transaction limit when charging your card.
Ensure you play at least 63% of any amount you charge to a machine to avoid your card being locked.
Free play must be wagered entirely on the machine where it's loaded; it cannot be cashed out.
Points expire at the end of the cruise and do not roll over to the next cruise, though tier points do roll over for status.
Set a budget and stick to it; casino management has the final say on all rules.
