Do Cruise Ships Tighten Slots During the Cruise?

Jerry:
Poker blinds chart length. In a poker tournament, blinds go up gradually. This is to ensure that the tournament finishes on a timely manner. (the higher the blinds get the more players tend to get eliminated). Blinds usually go up after predetermined periods of time. (for example every 15 or 20 minutes). Two main factors determine blind structure of the game. This poker push fold chart gives you math-based guidelines for playing these situations. This strategy often prevails against opening and folding in tough games, even when playing as deep as 20 big blinds. Poker Blinds Chart: Names of Table Stakes. Below, you can find a chart of the most common stakes found between online and live, along with some remarks about them: NOTE: As aforementioned, the name of stake is representative of the $ amount for 100bb's for that stake level.
Several Carnival ships have expanded balconies marked out on the deck plans. On some of the Grand Princess class ships the last aft cabins on the port and starboard side of the emerald and dolphin decks have expanded balconies. There are lots of these on a cruise ship and a good cruise/travel agent will know about them. What We Expected: New ships tend to have the best cabins, and that holds true for the top slots here with the year-old Symphony coming in on top. Likewise, Majesty and Empress, some of the smallest and oldest ships in the fleet, rank at the bottom.
I have gone on several cruises over the past several years. While at sea, I enjoy playing the slot machines as well as blackjack and craps.
I believe there is a sinister plan being executed by the ship's management. Let me explain. During the first few days of each cruise – roughly the first half – I win on the slots. I may not win every time, but I am always money ahead. Then sometime after the cruise midpoint the slots become very tight. Sure I get a small win now and then, but I always lose. It seems the closer to the end of the trip, the more I lose.
I sometimes play longer near the end to try to win something, but it is no use. I simply lose, lose and lose some more. I believe the slots are programmed looser at the start of the cruise to make you think you will win and then they are tightened at the end to get the most money they can.
I have complained to management but was told they don't change the payback of the machines. I don't believe them. My wallet knows better.

Dear Joe,
This would be a diabolical plot, indeed. Bait the 'sucker' and draw him in, then change the game – sort of like a 'bait-and-switch' ploy.
The oversight of games aboard ship is not the same as Las Vegas, Atlantic City Tunica and other major US land based casinos. I guess it may be theoretically possible to alter the pay schedules during the cruise, but it would take a considerable amount of work swapping out the control chips. Being found guilty of such actions would prove devastating for the cruise lines. Besides, they don't have to resort to surreptitious actions such as changing payouts to make money; they have an automatic edge built in.
Do you keep accurate records of each session? Do you note the time, game, denomination and amount won or lost? I suspect your memory may be playing tricks with you. You may remember a few wins early on, but when you begin to lose as the trip progresses, you notice the depleted bankroll. You stated that you play longer sessions. Longer sessions mean more loses.

I recommend that you break your total trip bankroll into session bankrolls, play for a fixed amount of time each session (or until your session bankroll runs out), and keep accurate records of your play. If you do this I think you will see that the ship's casino makes money at a consistent rate throughout the trip.
Follow these tips and you should have better of luck on future cruises.
