going to cruise ship - Page 33

Bro jedycity,

Dont envy me, seriously ! I mean there is no way i am going to make that kind of money every time i go on board the gambling ships. Sometimes i win some, sometimes i lose some.

Its also depend on your stakes, strategy and certain amount of luck that make your day !

Frankly speaking, you must have spare cash to recover back your initial capital in case you lost the first battle.

That why i bring along one credit card and my personal ATM card to launch the second battle. Base on my experience, most of the time, i recover back the initial capitol plus win some. As a member of Leisure World, i make use of the house rolling which earn me 1% for every 1k i roll. The highest i roll so far was 79k which i collected $790 for commission alone.

I not so keen to go Royale Star and Long Jie because of their 2 hours journey,especially R S, the ferry have to slow down because of 3 kelongs up the stream to Sabana Clove, where we change to another ferry to get to the R S ship. The one and only good thing about taking ferry at Harbor Front is the cheaper parking rate compare to TMFT car park. Off late, i noticed that the public car park next to Seah Im Food center is packed most of the time, have to circle round a few times before finding one parking lot.

However, Leisure World ferry timing frequency is still better than the other 2 ships, almost every hour one ferry. And it take about 1.5 hours from TMFT to LW. One setback is the ferry is mostly packed with uncles and aunties whom seem to be very free and loaded with $$$$$$

Anyone going LW this afternoon ? See you there !

hi, which casino ship have more tai sai table? and what is a junket anyway?

japcraver · #**483** 14-06-2008, 08:23 PM

From what i observed, i think L W has the most Tai Sai tables, unless any brudders here violently object.

Junkets are those agents who help you to secure ferry tickets, in return you are oblige to roll under them. From what i understand, they earn 1 or 2 % commission on top of what they offer you, when they exchange cash chips with the cashiers of the gambling ships.

There are many groups of them operating in all the 3 gambling ships. If you head down to Singapore Cruise Centre at harbor front, you can see many of them hanging around the ticketing counters.

thanks for the answer, so how many table of tai sai are there in LW?
and what so hassle bout getting a ferry tickets and going to the ship until a junket is needed? issit very troublesome if buy the ferry ticket, depart and change the chips on our own? sorry, newbie to cruise here, i would like to go win some money there sometime, hehe.

Bro desire83,

"So how many table of Tai Sai are there in L W?" My calculation is 2 tables on 7th floor and 1 table on 6th floor. Bro Buckkong want to confirm ?

To me it's a hassle, i am not sure about you bro, maybe you can try call any of the ships, L W, L J and R S to book, and experience yourself

Went to L W yesterday afternoon on 1 pm ferry and return on 5 pm ferry. Played the $5 roulette tables. Lost 2k because my favorite no. 14 never open at all !

Hi bros, never been on a cruise before. I wonder how are the games on the gambling ships such as Leisure World and LongJie? What are the rules of blackjack and do they use machines to shuffle?

Went to check out RS recently.

Paid $38 tax plus $80 cabin to the counter and boarded the ship at Habourfront. Went to the restaurant for dinner, packed! and got some singers entertaining. Anyway no seats so went outside at the deck for a table. Food was so so not much variety.

After dinner, got my keys and proceed to cabin. Quite ok, cleaner than LW with tv and cable channels. Had a bath and rested for awhile, then proceed to casino for some action.

Casino was smokey and slightly run down. Few tables of Baccarat, Blackjack and Roulette. Gave me the feeling of those Batam casinos. Changed some chips and started gaming.After few hours of gaming, luck not so good lose some dollars. decided to call it a day and proceed back to cabin to rest and wait for return timing.

Overall, felt that this one not as good as LW. Only thing better was the cabin cleaniness and with tv. For gaming, still prefers LW as more variety and better casino "feel".

Next target.. L J.

Actually you dont need to pay $38. As a member you need to pay only $5. Membershp fee is $20 a year.

To get free cabin, you just need to roll $1k.

Totally agreed with you.

As for bro Justlooking's $38, i think it's for SPT(Sea Port Tax), i guessed he went on "CNW" Cruise to No Where !Can Bro Justlooking confirm this !

I also paid for the SPT $38 when i went for the CNW last Tuesday, but i paid only $50 for my room, which i got it refunded after i rolled $20k that night.

Bro sammyman666 asked."What are the rules of blackjack and do they use machines to shuffle?" I am unable to answer you as i dont play Blackjack at all.
