Where I gamble on this casino ship, they have offered free complimentary cabins for their Slot Tournament.
I have never played slots before so I was not invited but my friend who plays slot sometimes have been invited. He goes on the ship about 5 times a year and has accumulated about 50 points on his players card. According to my estimation that would translate into a loss of about $2000.
What was his invitation? He gets a free cabin for up to 3 pax for a 3N/4D cruise on the Superstar Virgo, sister ship of the NCL Spirit presently sailing out from NY. No other payments required except for seaport tax.
What is the tournament like. In groups of 20, each person has to feed $100 into the slot machine and the top 5 players would go into the next round. The total prize money put up by the casino is $100,000. Unfortunately he was knock out in the first round and lost his $100.
Why would any casino give away Comps like that. All they could hope for is for my friend to come back and gamble some more.
Does not make any business sense to me and I think this casino ship management is crazy.
