Video Poker Forum

I'll be cruising on the NCL Bliss, anyone know what to expect in the Casino? for VP and machine games? Is it only for high rollers?

Typical cruise ship will be almost all reels, with only a small selection of video poker machines. Tight pay schedules. The usual range of denominations, although not sure they'll have anything below 25c.

Good luck!

dinghy dead on.
Only improvement might be TIGHT PAY SCHEDULES.

Sort of on this subject, is anyone getting a flood of free cruise offers from their casino?
Balcony offers on Carnival filled up fast.
Looking at next year.

Not here. I do get offers but not cruise from their sister casino in AC Resorts world though.

Some players clubs include free cruises as tier benefits. Wynn is partnered with Holland America, Penn with NCL. Boyd gives a Holland America cruise at Emerald level, and Onyx gets an ocean view.

I think Caesars does periodic giveaways. I was offered an NCL cruise, but you had to attend the event (last November) to redeem and find out the details of your offer.

Ours nave been, two per year, on Carnival balcony cabins up to 12 days'.
And a separate offer, two per year on Carnival, Princess, or Holland America interior.
Nothing for NCL, which is our favorite line.
Nothing available rest of 2024 on the balcony voucher on Carnival.
Booked Princess on the second offer and up-grade to window was more than it should be but still a deal.

I'll be going on the NCL Pearl for my first cruise, actually joined here to learn Video Poker so I can play onboard... hopefully I'll end up with some free cruises out of it.

I am so curious about how you would do on a session here. With your disciplined Clone navigation, I'm sure that you would be okay.

My latest Bizarro thread explains how I have given up at least for now on games I enjoy and am just concentrating on Triple Spin Poker 8/5 JOB for quarters. ( nickels is also available ). The All Star 2 machines have it with the 800 for one pay table. I don’t know if they have the same machines down there. So far, I can’t find 9/6. We only have 9/6 on single line games for quarters or higher. They actually just gave us a cruise offer up here. We are passing on it for now. Combination of reasons. So far, the Martingale Clone seems to be able to overcome the bad 97.3 pay table on 8/5, but I have only had 3 trials. If it makes 20 without a bust, I may consider it worthwhile. I could be wrong, but I doubt the Cruise ships offer the game I am currently playing. We have been on one cruise to Bermuda 25 years ago. It was OK, but not really for us. Too much food, rigid routines, etc. Also Covid, other shipborne viruses etc. add to the current concerns.

I love split poker but not sure of the strategy
