FAQ’s ROYAL CARIBBEAN CASINOS

Are there penny slots on-board the casino?

Yep sure is! You will find a great range of low denomination pokies and slot machines on every cruise ship so you can sit and spin on the cheap. If you like living it large well you can do that if you like wagering a few dollars or more per spin.

Is the on-board casino open 24/7?

Usually the casino is not open 24/7 and hours will vary depending on the ship, but most casinos will close about 3 am and not open again until about mid morning / early afternoon. All casinos usually close if they are not in international waters except for certain countries where they can open at port or at a mooring inside the 12 mile international limit.


What is the minimum age to gamble or enter?

The minimum age to be in the casino is 18 years. Some but not many cruises may have age limit of 21 like on some Alaskan cruises.

Yes and no, some have no smoking at all everywhere and some have dedicated smoking areas in the casino.

Do the games pay less in a cruise casino than a land casino?

The lack of competition (well none) on-board for you gambling dollar really gives cruise casinos an edge, but they have no reason to cheat the captive player nonetheless.

The casino knows full well that you are possibly a one-time cruiser and that your pockets are ready to open up, hey your on vacation we always spend too much 🙂 You’re probably not coming back anytime soon so you may get a good value “time wise” playing slots but don’t expect above average value “money wise”.

You can expect about an equal RTP – return to player percentage compared to land casinos while playing slot machines on-board cruise ships in general, this is regardless of which cruise line you are sailing with. Some players have commented that they felt the RTP’s were below regular land casinos but we have no real hard facts on this to be honest. So we would say play with caution, remember your on vacation so enjoy yourself.

Forgetting about slot machines, the great news is that the regular table games like poker, blackjack, roulette and the likes of are pretty much the same returns and odds as you would find in a regular land casino.


Do USA citizens have to pay tax on cruise ship winnings?

Yes! It is important that USA players are made aware of tax they on their wins.

The tax regulations are that all US citizens and residents will be issued a W2G form if they win on slots at the Casino Royale usually at $1200 and over per instance.

Also on table games and keno you may have to fill in a form and declare wins if you get lucky at a certain level of wagering.

Tax rules for casino US players are applied in international waters as well as any other place on the rock if you have a good win. You are not safe anywhere from the IRS 🙂 even on the high seas.
