Yes, NCL's casinos use normal cash - just bring along what you want to play with and you'll be fine. 6th good luck because they were really tight the week that I went.the biggest jack pot that I had seen was $1800 on a nickel video poker machine right in front.Dont get suckered into those progressive machines buy the cage and players club.I was watching people dump money into those and no payout.Last but lest you need to talk to the players club about your play to harrahs.:eek: GOOD LUCK. 4th free drinks would be after you have 2500 in play that the will give you free drinks unless it came with Harrahs.5th there is no such thing as free drinks on the cruise ship. 3rd they put out a free book on the first day for comps. I just got off the Star a couple of months ago.1st you must get their players card. offers? Also, while gambling in the casino on NCL, are alcoholic or any other beverages free as in Vegas or is there a charge for them? Thanks so much - first cruise and lots of questions :o Can we use the Harrahs Total Rewards card while gambling in an NCL casino? If yes, would the credits add up as if we were playing at Harrah's, therefore contributing to our Harrah's free rooms, etc. I really prefer not to charge on my credit card any gambling money and just bring what we plan to spend in the casino and when it is gone that is the end of the gambling, this is the way we do it when going to Vegas also. Can you put in your own cash that you bring on the cruise with you into the slot machines? Or do you have to 'buy' the cash from the cashier which to me would mean some type of special playing money. OK - I am totally confused after reading these posts :confused.
