Casino slot machine “account” pop ups

[Pattycruise]

I’m currently on Vision, I’m very impressed that the casino has so many new machines (unlike Anthem). 
anyhow, as I was playing my machine a “pop up” occurred on the account/points section of the machine stating someone’s first name and last initial and their winnings. I’ve never seen this before. Also popping up on the screen was an announcement for a “special slot tournament for St. Patrick’s day -see host for details”. I think this casino can program the messages for machines!

I mentioned to the casino host about the name/dollars win and she was mystified. She also said it sounds like it violates privacy.  She asked if I saw this again to take a picture and show it to her.  When I saw her later and showed the pic she said the slot manager was aware. 
not for nothing, my table mate at dinner has a very unusual first name, her name popped up as a $10,000 winner.  This is information I wouldn’t know unless she chose to share it with me.  I wonder how long this “information sharing” will last. My first name and last name  initial popped up as a $556 winner. (Smallest win popup) Unfortunately it was not me!  Now what if my husband or friend was playing in the casino and thought it was me and I deny it?! Will they think I’m lying?  What if it’s a non trusting spouse? Can you imagine the fights?!

side note-Allen B is winning lots of money.  Should I wait around a dark corner?

I wouldn't want that out there. What if someone decides to follow you off the ship and rob you? It happens at land casinos all the time.

That's really bizarre, @Pattycruise.  I've never seen that before on any ship.

I agree with you about Vision's machines - particularly video poker (which is pretty much all we play if we're going to play on a machine).  It seems to me that the VP machines are disappearing on all of the ships, but the last (and only, to be fair) time we were on Vision they still had a pretty good number.

The thing I HATE about account information on the machines is that it seems to change all the time.  One minute I will have 320 points and suddenly it drops to 0.  It's all over the place.  The casino host has told us in the past that the points info showing now includes both table and machine number but I don't believe that for a minute.  I'm still mystified about how points are accumulated and applied.

If you see the name bobroo.....cash out immediately and take the money for yourself!

And if you see the name smokeybandit as a winner, it's a lie!

 

Though i did turn the $6  c&a promo into $6 the other day!

The fact that my points change/disappear is a pain. I always remove my card or tap it again to get the right point total. But seeing who won is not safe.

They defiantly have issues with displaying accurate points.  Also, I have noticed that on some games, during a long bonus play, the slot you put your sea pass will turn red and if you keep playing while it is red, you will not get points.  You have to re-insert your card to make it green again.  I am assuming there is a "time out" during the replay because you are not pushing the spin button.  You don't lose any points when this happens during the replay, but you won't get any new points until you re-insert your card after it happens.

My fix for that-though I rarely have that “problem”-is to hold my lanyard that’s attached to my card in my “spin hand” -it’s a reminder to check that it’s green at the end of the bonus.

At first I thought...well that seems unsafe. But in reality...how are you gonna know who Allen B is unless you see him jumping up and down or he's sitting right next to you.
