SpeedNoodles Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 While it's not a mass-market cruise line and it doesn't stay out to sea for more than a few hours at a time, this may give some hints to how casinos might operate on the big guys when sailing resumes! Doug Parker, from Cruise Radio, took one for the team and went for a little sail to check it out. https://cruiseradio.net/florida-casino-ship-offers-preview-of-cruise-gambling/ USFFrank, cruisellama, Ogilthorpe and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USFFrank Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 I haven't been on a casino cruise in years, mainly because I can't breathe in there after about 1 minute. But if Victory no longer allows smoking while indoors in their casino, I may have to look into going on one of those again. Hopefully when RCCL resumes cruising here in September, there will be no smoking in their casinos as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 This seems to work very well on smaller ships. RCCI could learn from this by blocking seats and removing chairs so that people social distance. I would go on one of these even though I am not ready for big ships. Under 500 people will reduce the chance of Chad's and Karen's....but truthfully it only takes one. Ogilthorpe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Chads and Karen’s will be canceled! Brilliant! JLMoran and Ogilthorpe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisellama Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Cool idea, like a river boat casino, but it actually sails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first riverboat casinos were required to leave the dock for a specified period of time. Then every passenger had to get off and a new set get on (the same people getting off and back on were NOT known as B2B cruisers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a requirement to "cycle" the gangway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TempoGL Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 I'm not sure if this is still the case, but the Pair-a-Dice casino in Peoria, IL was always "at sea." You would walk down a long ramp to the boat, which I guess was far enough from the shore to be considered not to be docked. Of course, I haven't been there in about ten years and I was definitely more than a little buzzed most of the times I went there, but I remember being told that's how they got around it.
