Thanks Chris. I really enjoyed this tour through the casino, your explanation of points and different slot machine options. You are correct when you say no one has put a video out with this info. Well done! 👍😀
Thank you Chris! This is the content that without a doubt is your niche and specialty! Informative, even for those of us who have cruised quite a bit. Maybe next, could you give us some examples of rewards to amount of play just to give us a feel of how much we'll need to invest to achieve the different levels (I know you mentioned 2,500 pts get's you free drinks in the casino). Thanks again!
Excellent video! You literally just saved me an email to RC because you're right, there are no informative videos on here. I am going to Alaska and could not be more excited. Thank you for uploading this Chris. xoxo
Mr. Chris; while we prefer NCL, we do appreciate your crews views on RCCL, you have given good insights and opinions that are applicable across the board, thanks and keep posting about your experiences, it is appreciated.
Good info for new players. On most ships, the box on crap tables has comped All the regular players to drinks. Also I have comped on some Royal ships for playing green. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Chris, so much! I am not much of a casino gal. A lot of the casino was confusing to me. I do like to go from time to time with my husband and our friends who do visit & play. Now I am more comfortable of what and how that I may play. Great vlog! Blessings, Vickie
So, how much do rough seas lower the house edge on the coin pushers :) My wife loves playing the coin pushers, it's a fun way to donate to the casino. Great video as always
Excellent! Clear and comprehensive, good information for those of us who are only familiar with Las Vegas style casinos. Kudos for coming up with unusual and helpful content.
So you implied it in the video, but if you get money from your seapass (not room as they don't split it among everyone in the room, just you), from a slot machine, you can immediately cash out. take it to the cashier and get cash. Essentially a free ATM. You could do this to gamble at the tables to avoid the 5% fee
I charged some money on a slot on my last Carnival cruise. I charged $2000 then cashed it out immediately to redeem my $2000 OBC. I couldn't charge any more to the machines after this and when I asked the casino host about this they said you can't be using us as an ATM. I told them I wanted to keep the cash and charge what I play on my new CC and they said no way. So I didn't play anything on that cruise. lol
Great Video again! Enjoying all you do and keep up the great work!! Lots of information and we always spend time in casino. We spent enough time on our Sept 2021 cruise to get a junior suite for our March 22 cruise. We have already booked another cruise for March 2023. Can't wait to spend more time in the casino. Thanks again.
Great intro video! Wonder if you could follow up with an explanation on how comps are calculated as a percentage of theo or total loss. Many newer players don’t understand at all.
Thank you for this video. I am planning to go on my first cruise and I was under the impression you have to use your sea pass card and charge to your room. I am so glad you cleared that up. Thank you again.
Me too! I play in Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Plainville. I haven't been to the Encore yet-ugh-Boston traffic- have you gone? If so, do you like it?
i love Encore. it is a beautiful casino with a beautiful hotel. i get two free rooms every month. they comp very well so i usually get our meals comped. it is not a bad ride at all.i live near new hampshire so i just take 93 south to exit 20 then it is two lefts and it is right there. you can also take a free boat shuttle form the south end to encore.@@Carolmaizy
Thanks for the video. I found you through Tony (La Lida Loca). My husband has spent so much money gambling (CRAPS) on cruise ships but has never shown his sea pass card. I will make sure he does for now on. I am going on a transatlantic cruise and am sure I will be visiting the casino during those sea days.
There are no good videos on cruise ship casinos, so thank you for sharing. I have been trying to find blackjack payouts, if they use an automatic shuffling machine and how many decks are in a shoe. Also, what is the minimum bet for craps? Do you know if all ships are the same? I'm traveling with another carrier but I'm frantic looking for info. Sorry for the 100 questions, but these are important details that will determine if I enter the casino or not and you seem like the guy to provide an accurate answer. Keep on Keepin' on and stay safe out there!
You mentioned you need to get to 2500 points to reach the first tier - but not how much that actually is- -is it dollar for dollar - ie 1 point per dollar played or some other calculation?
thank you for the info chris! im a new casino royale member, played on my first cruise, left with almost 2k points after 7 days, and boy im getting a ton of offers, wish i had more vacation time! next cruise next march oasis of the seas, my fiance loved the coin pusher
Ty! I had a question pop into my head about the casino, and searched TH-cam n found your video. And you answered the question about cash or seacard for play.
Casino Royale is our favorite form of entertainment. Can't wait to get out into international waters and love that the casino can now open in the evenings while docked in Bermuda.
Thank you for this video. I’ve always been so overwhelmed in the casino but this was a nice explanation of where to look for the cost, the perk program and the convenience charge.
does mariner of the seas have a baccarat table? My gf and I are sailing for the first time for our 3 year anniversary soon and I was hoping to have some bac fun on the cruise!
Awesome video Chris, I was Slot Attendant and Casino Dealer on land in South Africa for Sun International and This video is just inspiring me to go work on cruise ships
You should mention the free drinks in the casino once you hit prime! I used to always get a drink package, but now that I’m Diamond with prime and prime in the casino I usually get a free cruise offer and plenty of free drinks, so it costs very little to cruise with royal.
Very well done Chris. Clear, concise, very organized thoughts, the best tour so far. I have a question, does Casino Royale offer "markers"? If so, where do I fill out the form/application? Thanks.
Only ever gambled once in Vegas but found this video really interesting! Think I’d give the coin pushers a go if I was sail Royal - reminds me of the machines in English seaside amusements.
Happy hump day Chris. Thanks for a "behind the scene" tour!! 👍 Interesting tidbit on the age allowed in depending on the location of the ship. I just thought 21 all over the world. Two questions I hope you can answer. 1- Do you, yourself, have to have any knowledge on repairs to the slot machines if they break down? 2- Are there lots of ports that allow gambling whilst docked? You mentioned this can happen which shocked me.
Hi Chris, hope to see you on a RC cruise one day. My question is the points reset. I see it’s April 1st. I just got to Prime after my last cruise in Feb and am going again in May. Does that mean I will not be Prime on the next cruise and have to build the 2500 points again?
2500 points equals 2500 dollars? or how do I know what to play to get to 2500 points? Still not clear on this, but would like to try it on my Sept cruise.
Coin Pushers are popular everywhere they are, even arcades (with tokens). Dave and Busters, for example, always has several of them. Most are manufactured by Elaut, which is a Belgian company.
Hi, I'm left with a few questions. You mentioned that you can play with your seapass and charge it to your room or you can play with cash. You then demonstrated how you would play slots with the seapass but you didn't demonstrate how i would play if i want to pay cash. Also, you mentioned texas hold 'em and other card game tournaments and showed how you would participate, but you didn't mention whether or not there are card games that aren't tournament style. For example, maybe I want to play sit and go style where i play just a few hands of texas hold em and then cash out. Is that an option? Finally, if i play with cash, will the casino be able to track points i accumulate? I'm weary of providing my seapass card because i want to avoid room charges and fees. Thanks!!
Hey Chris could you do another video detailing everything about the rewards program including levels and what it takes to reach each level and wha benefits come from each level. Thanks for all of the content.
Thanks Chris! My hubby and I are Hold em players. We are going in Quantum in August. Is there a full size poker table with Dealer? I thought I might have seen that in another video.
Excellent tour, Chris! Cigarette 🚬 smoking 🚬 I always avoided casinos because they are usually filled with smoke 💨 Sometimes they have a little nonsmoking room that you get to by walking through the main casino.
Thanks for this I love gaming getting on the Navigagator of the Seas in a couple weeks... and I do love my casino time... was looking g to see what to see what I could expect!
Great content, thank you. Can you give me an example of how points are awarded when playing craps? For instance my average bet is $160 how many points will I accumulate per hour of play?
Does Royal Caribbean slot machines print vouchers to get cash from atm machine or does it require a player to transfer credits from machine to sea pass card?
I'm also an Assistant Casino Host, RCL newhire, still waiting for my first assignment! Would be great to be able to exchange a few messages regarding the role and overall experience! Keep up with Casino videos like this!
Hi - what is the blackjack average bet for 12 hrs of play to achieve 2500 tier credits that Chris talks about in this video. I’ve never been on a cruise ship but I receive free Royal Caribbean cruise offers from MGM Resorts. Thank you
Thanks for the video. When you say you run a poker tournament, do you mean no limit Texas holdem tournament against the other guests? Also do your blackjack tables pay 2:1 on a true blackjack?

Thanks Chris! Excellent video as always. I learned a lot. I admit that I like the coin pushers although I have never won. Just good fun!

Hi Chris what currency is loaded in the ATM machines on board the ships is it always us dollars or in europe are they loaded with euros
Great intro video!
Wonder if you could follow up with an explanation on how comps are calculated as a percentage of theo or total loss.
Many newer players don’t understand at all.
Very helpful and informative video about what to expect to see and do in the ship’s casino. Thanks, Chris!
Thank you for this video. I am planning to go on my first cruise and I was under the impression you have to use your sea pass card and charge to your room. I am so glad you cleared that up. Thank you again.
Very interesting video Chris, the casino looks bigger than other shops I've been on.
i enjoyed this video. i go on cruises through casino at sea from two of our local casinos near boston.
Me too! I play in Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Plainville. I haven't been to the Encore yet-ugh-Boston traffic- have you gone? If so, do you like it?
i love Encore. it is a beautiful casino with a beautiful hotel. i get two free rooms every month. they comp very well so i usually get our meals comped. it is not a bad ride at all.i live near new hampshire so i just take 93 south to exit 20 then it is two lefts and it is right there. you can also take a free boat shuttle form the south end to encore.@@Carolmaizy
I'd like to know how to log out of the slot machines and how to get quarters for Treasure Bay.
That's really helpful thank you. Are you able to explain how to play some of the games? I only know how to use the slots.
This was very very informative thank you !
So if you insert cash into the slots and scan seapass card for point tracking, how do we know it's not charging to our room AND taking the cash?
Chris is there any ships that have any dragon link machines?
Thanks for the video. I found you through Tony (La Lida Loca). My husband has spent so much money gambling (CRAPS) on cruise ships but has never shown his sea pass card. I will make sure he does for now on. I am going on a transatlantic cruise and am sure I will be visiting the casino during those sea days.

Great video. I've applied for a trainee cashier role with RC, so it's good to know what kind of products and services are offered.
Thank you for this video. I’ve always been so overwhelmed in the casino but this was a nice explanation of where to look for the cost, the perk program and the convenience charge.
Love the Treasure Bay Machine coin push, would walk by there several times a day, as the ship moves free money just falls down... Tilted...
does mariner of the seas have a baccarat table? My gf and I are sailing for the first time for our 3 year anniversary soon and I was hoping to have some bac fun on the cruise!
Chris, another great video. Keep up the great content. Maybe ill see you one day sailing from Southampton.
Awesome video Chris, I was Slot Attendant and Casino Dealer on land in South Africa for Sun International and This video is just inspiring me to go work on cruise ships

Thanks Chris, I did learn a lot with your explanation of Casino Royale. Keep up the great videos
Thanks for sharing…. Looking forward to meeting you on a royal Caribbean cruise.
How many points per dollar in slots
Very clear video thank you! I'm looking forward to our cruise in 2 weeks!
What currency do the machines take I will be doing cruise in Europe on oasi of the seas
Thank you Chris, this was very informative.
Do the casinos on quantum class ships have videopoker? If so, what type? Do those machines charge a 5% fee for using your Sea Pass card?
Very well done Chris. Clear, concise, very organized thoughts, the best tour so far. I have a question, does Casino Royale offer "markers"? If so, where do I fill out the form/application? Thanks.
can you do deckhand ive been looking for a job around that area and only one i can find is deck cadet thanks
Does the casino bar employ there own staff or do they work in other bars on the ship.
Great video! I was so confused about what the policy was watching other youtuber thanks for clearing all that up!
Only ever gambled once in Vegas but found this video really interesting! Think I’d give the coin pushers a go if I was sail Royal - reminds me of the machines in English seaside amusements.
Nice job explaining the workings of Casino Royale 👍
Is there a poker cash game or just poker tournaments
Happy hump day Chris.
Thanks for a "behind the scene" tour!! 👍
Interesting tidbit on the age allowed in depending on the location of the ship. I just thought 21 all over the world.
Two questions I hope you can answer.
1- Do you, yourself, have to have any knowledge on repairs to the slot machines if they break down?
2- Are there lots of ports that allow gambling whilst docked? You mentioned this can happen which shocked me.
Hi Chris, hope to see you on a RC cruise one day. My question is the points reset. I see it’s April 1st. I just got to Prime after my last cruise in Feb and am going again in May. Does that mean I will not be Prime on the next cruise and have to build the 2500 points again?
Very interesting video chris. Love hearing what your work entails thank you for sharing.
Have a Good weekend 🥰
Great Video! Where can I get information on hosting a passenger "slot pull" before my next cruise in 54 days?
Wonderful video,Chris,I am wondering if I can surrender against dealer’s 10 on blackjack?
2500 points equals 2500 dollars? or how do I know what to play to get to 2500 points? Still not clear on this, but would like to try it on my Sept cruise.
Coin Pushers are popular everywhere they are, even arcades (with tokens).
Dave and Busters, for example, always has several of them.
Most are manufactured by Elaut, which is a Belgian company.
Is there traditional Texas hold ‘em available?
Hi, I'm left with a few questions. You mentioned that you can play with your seapass and charge it to your room or you can play with cash. You then demonstrated how you would play slots with the seapass but you didn't demonstrate how i would play if i want to pay cash.

Hey Chris, do you ever have to back off card counters from blackjack?
Could you do another quick tour of another part of the ship?
Thanks Chris, especially when you told me that I could not make a video of Odyssey of the Seas Casino.
Hey Chris could you do another video detailing everything about the rewards program including levels and what it takes to reach each level and wha benefits come from each level. Thanks for all of the content.
Thanks Chris! My hubby and I are Hold em players. We are going in Quantum in August. Is there a full size poker table with Dealer? I thought I might have seen that in another video.
For regular texas holdem, is it $1/2?
Great show Chris. I spend a lot of time in the casino. Always on Royal Caribbean. I'm already prime. What kind of comps can I ask for from the host.
😀Hey Chris, wondering if you will be on board when the ship comes down under later in the year...Cheers A.D.
Excellent tour, Chris!
Cigarette 🚬 smoking 🚬
I always avoided casinos because they are usually filled with smoke 💨
Sometimes they have a little nonsmoking room that you get to by walking through the main casino.
Can you do a video series explaining how to play different games ?
Great video learned a lot I may start coming in the casino more now that I know how the process works
Excellent video Chris. Very informative.
Thanks for this I love gaming getting on the Navigagator of the Seas in a couple weeks... and I do love my casino time... was looking g to see what to see what I could expect!
What if you don't know how to play the different games? Are there instruction sessions?
Great content, thank you. Can you give me an example of how points are awarded when playing craps? For instance my average bet is $160 how many points will I accumulate per hour of play?
Thanks for the Casino video. Cant wait to start playing the slots. See you in 58 days.
This video is awesome! Thank you.
Do they tier match with mgm rewards?
Hello, Mr. Huang, do all Royal Cruises Black Jack pay 6to5?
Great tour of the casino and thanks.
So if I tap my room card but use my own cash and not charge it to the room will I still earn tier points?
Does Royal Caribbean slot machines print vouchers to get cash from atm machine or does it require a player to transfer credits from machine to sea pass card?
Enjoyed watching Chris.
This is a great idea ☺️. I have always wondered about casinos on ships.
Great video Chris! Thank you for sharing!
I'm also an Assistant Casino Host, RCL newhire, still waiting for my first assignment! Would be great to be able to exchange a few messages regarding the role and overall experience!
Keep up with Casino videos like this!
I’m also a public area attendant,RCL new hire,I hope we meet on the same ship 🚢..cheers man
Hi - what is the blackjack average bet for 12 hrs of play to achieve 2500 tier credits that Chris talks about in this video. I’ve never been on a cruise ship but I receive free Royal Caribbean cruise offers from MGM Resorts. Thank you
This has so much good info! Do you know if Princess works the same way? Thank you
How do you find out how many points you have, and do they accumulate from cruise to cruise?
April 1-March 31 each year.
Thanks for the information about the casino!
Can we get a duplicate card to use on the machines?
Great info. Just what I was looking for. well done.
Yes this was great. I’ve never played because I did not know what to do this helped tremendously
thank you,Chris. i enjoyed this video
Thanks for the video. When you say you run a poker tournament, do you mean no limit Texas holdem tournament against the other guests? Also do your blackjack tables pay 2:1 on a true blackjack?
Great job on the Casino Royale tour!
Thanks, Chris! This was very informative.
Thanks Chris.. This was very helpful.
