Creator's Key Takeaways
Royal Caribbean has quietly made a change to the Crown Royale program and how your comp numbers are calculated.
They have officially changed the amount of points you earn on the video poker machines so that you earn one point for every $15 you spend instead of the previous $1 for every $10 you spend.
I would highly remain skeptical about choosing that those lower denominations and I am increasing my bet up to the higher level.

Royal Caribbean quietly changed how Crown & Anchor points are earned on video poker machines — and they didn’t tell anyone! 😲 It used to be 1 point for every $10 played. Now it’s 1 point for every $15 — even though the website still says $10. They also upgraded the $1+ Jacks or Better pay tables from 8/5 to 9/5 (better odds for players), but lower denominations stayed the same. I break down exactly what this means for your comps, expected losses, and whether video poker, video blackjack, or other strategies are still worth it on Royal Caribbean cruises. Would this change how you play to earn points? Drop your thoughts below!
