5 Secrets Cruise Ship Casinos WON'T Tell You

Editorial Summary

The creator outlines five specific disadvantages regarding gambling on cruise ships compared to land based casinos. The first point notes that the odds in cruise ship casinos are generally worse than those in Las Vegas because cruise lines have a captive audience without competition. The second secret involves the scale of jackpots, which are significantly lower at sea than in Las Vegas, where six figure or million dollar wins are routine. The third point highlights that the house edge for table games such as blackjack, craps, and roulette is two to three times higher on ships than on land. Regarding rewards, the creator explains that cruise lines award comps like free cruises based on expected losses rather than total volume played. This means playing machines with a higher house edge may result in rewards faster than playing table games. Finally, the creator states that on most major cruise lines, a player might need to bet between five hundred and eight thousand dollars on slot machines to earn a basic free cruise.
