Now if you can do a video on an estimated formula for table games That would be appreciated. Is there a certain weight that goes towards a high buy-in (i.e $3000 buy in of chips) vs betting high dollar averages ($50-$100+) vs just playing for a long amount of time vs losing big bets in a short amount of time.
This is the calculated statistical return. On the TA in April I spent $500 to get 200 points. The following sailing was $2,000 for 2,000 points. The first 1,200 points cost $500.
@@cruiseswithfriends yeah that sounds about right. Our last cruise we got a dollar per point and I thought we were pretty lucky at that. There were times when one point cost me two dollars.
We'll do another video and blog on our experience over the last sailings using different strategies. If you can spend about $2,500 and get 2 complimentary cruises, one for hitting Prime and one Instant Cruise Reward then you're doing well. If you include the free drinks in the bar for over a year, it's not a bad return. But yes, it's a gamble.
Nicely laid out, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
85% RTP is a good estimate.
Thanks. We've asked on multiple ships, if they are willing to divulge the RTP and on all ships they have declined.
@@cruiseswithfriends all the slot techs I ask either don’t know or say 85% overall.

We'll be doing some testing on table games in a couple of months time. The previous 2 cruises we looked high and low stakes slot machines.
$100 for 119 points? Only if you’re very lucky. Lately it’s been about 50 points for $100 in slots

It’s cheaper to just buy up the benefits and not gamble 😂😂😂
