Just a heads up. I started play myVegas a week ago and now that I have 50,000 pts to redeem the $100 OBC they have removed Royal Caribbean from their rewards program. I still see MSC and they added Resorts World.

You will be comp'd a free cruise starting at 2,400 pts($500 trade in value) . That'll get you an inside cabin. A cruise in an oceanview cabin will be given at 3,600 ($750 trade in), a balcony cabin is 4,800 ($1,000 trade in) and a jr. suite at 6000 ($1250 trade in) . These are for points accrued per sailing. The best thing to do is accrue 2400 pts each per couple and combine those for a jr. suite on a listed sailing. You can then upgrade to a higher suite at casino rate. If you don't like the cruise dates (they all suck) you can apply the trade in value to a different cruise. My wife and I combined our certs to a jr suite on the Independence 25th sailing and then upgraded to a 2BR GS for an additional $700.

They will never replace your promo chips. Only way to get rid of them is to lose them or throw them overboard. If you're on a heater, you can theoretically bet into the hundreds of thousands and still have promo chips. The original stake = your promo chips. This promotion only benefits people who know they will go through a lot of bets/chips. If you win 50% of your bets at $100 a pop, you will have to play 44 hands to get rid of all the promo chips, that is $4,400 in action/wagers. I also want to add that table games are the worst for comps. I was averaging $100/hand and only getting like 50 points an hr. Best way to get casino points is to play slots $5/pt or Video Poker $10/pt.

This is the correct answer. No Riskit, No Biscuit.

a) If you bet $10 promotional chips, they will pay you back with regular chips and leave your original bet (promotional chips) in the betting circle. If you lose the bet, they put your promotional chips in the rack in case you need change for a $25 or $100 denomination chip. b) Do not bet the regular chips they pay winning bets with, put them aside. Only play your promotional chips until you lose them all. If you play it right, by the time you lose all your promotional chips, you should have won back the same or more in regular chips. You can then cash out the regular chips.

I was playing BJ $100 a hand with promotional chips and was up early with $1500 real chips and $1500 promotional chips. I got impatient and ended up cashing out $1900 in real chips. So it can go both ways. In theory, BJ with 3/2 pay has a 1% house edge, if you flat bet and play with perfect strategy, you should be able to cash out $2175 in real chips if you win 49% of your hands after you have played through all the promotional chips. Regardless, you are being forced to play through $2200 worth of chips because they have no cash value.

I just got back from a Harmony cruise that I purchased the 2000 + 200 chip promotion on. You will receive 2200 promotional chips from the cage. Only bet the promotional chips, if you lose the hand, the dealer will put it the last row of the rack in case you need change for your bigger denomination promotional chips. If you win the bet, they pay you back with regular chips. Do not bet your regular casino chips. Keep betting your promotional chips until they are gone. If you win 50% of your bets, you should end up with 2200 regular casino chips and you can cash those at the cage. They want to make sure you put all the promotional chips in play in order for you to get a free 10% bonus.
