With limited space, cruise ships try to cram as many tables and slot machines as possible into the small area. Walking around the casino feels a little claustrophobic. Some provide a contemporary atmosphere, while others add a bit more creativity with Egyptian or Roman themes. What better way than to make the most visible ones showcase some winnings while crowds walk by. Each cruise ship has a different look and feels for its casino. The machines located in the middle of the casino right on the ends where everyone walks by tend to hit the most, or at least make the most noise. You seldom hear machines in the back corners going off. If you are going to play a slot machine, location matters when it comes to picking out which one you are going to pour money into. Although, if you’re feeling lucky (people tend to have the most luck the first night of the cruise), give it a spin and see how far it’ll go. The cruise line is not in the business to give money away, they are in the money making business! Although they are fun, colorful, and make a lot of noises, you have the lowest chance of walking away with money when playing a slot machine than you do when trying your luck on the tables.
