ANSWER: Cruise ship gambling came about with the 1991 Cruise Ship Competitiveness Act, which gave U.S. Ships the opportunity to offer games once they hit international waters. The gambling laws. 5 years ago the wife and I went on a carnival cruise to the Bahamas. Purchased a drink pass which was worth its weight in gold, but resulted in us getting drunk every night. Our ship had a casino with a large electronic black jack table. I have a fuzzy memory of playing black jack and doing well one night but got too black out drunk to remember.

Hey guys, I am going on a cruise this fall, and I was just wondering if the pay table in craps changes any on a cruise ship..?

Don't expect too many negatives, there just won't be many pluses. You are a captive market. Many cruise ships offer only 2x odds. If you want higher odds, the crew will tell you to walk to another casino and play there. Don't expect the Field to have any Triple in it.
You can still enjoy the game, its just sure not going to be a 100x table for simple reason that they are a monopoly.

Don't expect to get comped well either. It is very hard to impress in the cruise ship casinos.
One question I get asked from time to time is what do cruise ships do at the craps table when the ship crosses out of international waters. If you knew that was going to happen momentarily, and assuming they refunded any unresolved bet, then you should make a huge bet on the pass or come.
I've never investigated this on the three cruises I've done, but I tend to think they close the casino well before they have to, very late at night, when they don't inconvenience anybody. Craps does not seem popular on cruise ships anyway. I suspect I get asked about it more often that the situation actually happens.
If you find out the answer, please let me know.

It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet.

I took a gambling day cruise out of North Carolina a few years back.
I don't remember the craps odds, but I do remember feeling wierd, tossing the dice while the table was not level, but was moving. It was a small ship and we were in rough water..
After craps & BJ, I made it to a poker table. Eventually, there was an announcement that the casino would close in 15 minutes. At that moment, everyone at the poker table decided to call it quits. I wanted to play more, but, whatever. It seems those guys had the right idea. I was fourth in line at the cage. By the time I was done (only a few minutes later), the line had snaked it's way all over the casino. I don't know how long it took to get in to port, but there were still people on line as we were getting off the ship.

I invented a few casino games. Info: http://www.DaveMillerGaming.com/ ————————————————————————————————————— Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown. But how much does it cost to knock on wood? 😁

I'll be on a cruise in about 3 weeks and hope to get in some craps time. The negatives of a cruise ship tend to be low odds limits, either 1x or 2x. I'm sure the field plays double, but that's no different than a lot of places these days.
The positive - depending upon your bankroll - is that cruise ships are known for having low limits. $5 tables are pretty common for both craps and BJ.

I just got back from a cruise with Norwegian in May. This was my 5th cruise, I try to go every year.
In short, the casinos are lousy. Here's some of what I remember seeing in the casino on my last cruise, aboard the Norwegian Spirit. All the other cruises I've been on are basically the same, with Royal Caribbean offering slightly worse games/odds than NCL:
-VP JoB 6/5, denoms $0.02 to $1 (maybe $5 on some cruises, saw 7/5 at $1 level)
-$5 bj 5 decks, H17, dealt from a CSM paying 6:5,
-Lucky Ladies sidebet on CSM tables, one bj table with a 'Wheel of Madness' side bet paying somewhere between 10 to 1,000 for a bj, though no dealer or pit boss I asked has ever seen a 1,000-to-1 win (next highest pay was 40). Average seems to be in the 12-15 to 1 range. Both are very bad bets.
-$25 bj, H17, 1 deck, paying 6:5, players handle their own cards
-$10 bj, 6 or 8 decks, shoe, S17, no surrender
-$5 royal match shufflemaster automated blackjack game upstairs, S17, split once only, no hitting on split aces, double after split allowed, no hole card (lose only 1 bet, so equivalent to hole card game), late surrender offered.
-3-card poker with the 6-3-1 short pay table on PP
-Double-zero roulette, I think $1 or $2 min on inside bets, maybe $5 or $10 on outside, it varied based on the time of day/crowd size.
-Coin pushers
-Comp system, but impossible to actually earn any comps (play through $10,000 to earn free drinks, for example)
-'Paradise lotto', $2 a ticket, paying between $200,000 to $300,000 for matching 5/5, 4/5 pays $2,000 and 3/5 pays $100. Picked from a staggering 80 numbers. Odds of winning jackpot 5/5 is 1 in 24,000,000. Return = 27%.
-Craps, 1 table $5 min, double on 12 field, I think the odds were 3-4-5, but could be mistaken. Otherwise, looks like your average craps table with bad bets junk in the middle. Not very busy, which is good if you like to roll the dice.
-Let it Ride with the 'bonus buck' bet capped short at $10,000. 3-card bonus bet included, same short pay as 3-card PP.
-The worse Bingo games I've ever seen, costing nearly $50 to play with prizes that are way too low, and a few thousand dollars jackpot that is practically never won.
-Slot returns are very bad, don't play them. Usually the pay tables of the vp games are a good indication of the looseness of the slots, so 6/5 JoB doesn't instill much confidence. Limits vary, $0.01 to $25/$100 machines.
-A texas hold-em table, not sure of the rake. Not much action, usually.
-A rapid roulette table, double zero, $1 min.¸
-Heavy cigarette smoke at times (due to low ceilings). No free drinks.
-Free casino credit to all players, secured by your onboard account. Limits vary, usually $1000 or $2000 per trading day.
-USD currency
-BJ, Poker and Slot tournaments. Some ships charge $15 to enter, some $20 (poker $60 to enter). Sometimes you'll get 2-for-1 entry. Wait until the very last day to play, as they play 'qualifier' rounds throughout the cruise, but only top 5 to 7 scores get into finals. NCL pays first place only and keeps half on entry monies, Royal pays first and second (and I've seen third place paid, too), don't know what their take is. May buy in as many times as you want. I won the bj tournament four times out of five cruises, won $300 to $350 per cruise. Fairly easy to crack final table if you know what score to beat (hence, always play as late as possible).
-Offers available sometimes: $5 - $25 match plays, free Ace (max bet capped low), $10 gets you $15 in chips (sticky chips), $10 gets you $20 in slot play. I was not eligible for any of these offers as it was only open to first time cruisers. I think that is a policy unique to NCL.
Basically, you shouldn't play while cruising. But if you must, the best bets seem to be the $5 shuff
