If I remember correctly, most of the JoB machines in the Casino Annex were 6/5, but I think there was one machine that had 8/5 on a multi deck Bonus Poker or Bonus Poker Deluxe. RCL: 6/5 (5% HE) 0.25 denom 8/5 (1.4% HE) $10/25 denomĪnyone has different info for the above? Any info for NCL (heard it was 99% for $25 denom), Princess, MSC and Holland America? Based on what I have seen on Carnival Vista and what I have found on CC, here is the info I have obtained right now:Ĭelebrity: (Single-line) Modified 7-5 (8.6% HE) Multi-line 6-5 (5% HE) Not to mention I said something about the money in/money out, and he got squirrelly.I have been trying to research VP JoB pay tables on the various cruise lines. I wish I had the opportunity to study it a bit more, but he could tell I was being nosey reading it. It was interesting, I could see the money in, and the money out over the lifespan of the machine as well. Personally, I do not find that the machines are 'looser' or 'tighter' than any machines I have played on land. Both times that I saw this they were set at 94% and 96% respectively.

I've had the opportunity to 'be nosey' when a tech is running a diagnostic on the ship, and seeing the payout percentages the chip is set at. My educated opinion says that you can flat out disregard a lot of what he said as being inaccurate. I would say at best to take everything he said with a grain of salt. Casinos issue W-2G forms as needed, not a 1099-G. A 1099-G is issued for certain government payments like unemployment. In most every casino (on water or on land), if the casino manager has chosen poor video poker payback percentages, they have also chosen poor slot machine payback percentages.Īlso, he kept referring to the casino issuing '1099-Gs', which is incorrect. Video poker paytables on cruise ships are universally horrible. Cruise casino slot machines are notoriously set to extremely low payout percentages. I question how much of an authority this person was.
