Celebrity Cruise's casinos offer blackjack, American roulette, Caribbean stud poker, craps and a wide range of video and reel slot machines. In addition, blackjack and slots tournaments are held on each voyage. While onboard, check your Celebrity Today daily program or your stateroom television for details.

Blackjack
Blackjack is a card game in which the object is to accumulate cards with a higher count than the dealer, but not exceeding 21. See if you have the luck to beat the dealer. Most cruises hold a blackjack tournament. Everyone has a chance to progress from the first round to the Grand Finale. Check your Celebrity Today or with the casino cashier for scheduled events.

American Roulette
Long played by the European aristocracy in Monte Carlo, roulette is simple to play and enjoy. As the ball spins in the wheel, you may place bets on numbers ranging from 0-00 to 1-36. If the ball falls on a number that you selected, you're a winner!

Caribbean Stud Poker
This "Caribbean" version of poker is essentially a simplified five-card-stud poker game with a progressive twist. A royal flush makes you a top jackpot winner

Craps
A fast-paced game, craps is fun for both seasoned and new players. Whether you're the shooter or you're betting on a throw of the dice, the excitement is contagious

Slot Machines
An endless variety of fun awaits the slot player in our casinos. An appealing mix of leading-edge nickel, quarter, $1 and $5 machines will entertain you throughout your cruise. Be sure to try our one-of-a-kind Quarterama progressive slots where the top award grows higher and higher with each coin played.

Poker players will find the latest video poker machines offering a choice of several games on each machine. Skillful play on video poker will increase your winnings, not to mention your enjoyment

We wish for everyone to have a good time in our establishments. Good casino etiquette makes the experience more fun for the players.

The International Council of Cruise Lines (ICCL) is a nonprofit trade association consisting of the 17 largest passenger cruise lines that call on major ports in the United States and abroad. The ICCL is dedicated to helping the cruise industry provide a safe, secure, fun and entertaining ship environment for its passengers. Among the services that illustrate the commitment to fun entertainment are the gambling casinos found on most of the ICCL member vessels. These industry guidelines address the equipment, conduct of games, internal controls and customer service for casinos on cruise ships.

The guidelines generally foster the following goals:

Facilities and Equipment
All equipment purchased and installed on cruise vessels will meet the regulatory standards of the Nevada Gaming Control Board or other licensed jurisdiction for payback and internal software.

Rules of Play
Each line will provide a gaming guide setting forth the rules of play for its casino. These rules of play shall generally follow those established for casinos in Nevada, New Jersey or England. These house rules will also be made available in every casino.

Each member line will post at every gaming table minimum and maximum betting limits for each game.
Only adults are allowed to play the slots or the tables.

Internal Controls
All shipboard gambling operations will be inspected by each member line's internal audit department on a regular basis, not to exceed l2 months.

All casinos will have detailed internal control procedures concerning the cash and coin counts, casino cage procedures and other processes, similar to licensed jurisdictions.

Each line will employ some form of surveillance to ensure operations are fair and equitable for all parties.

Each line will separate the operation of the casino from the financial aspects of the casino as clearly as possible, including specific duties for cashiers and table gaming staff.

Customer Service
The onboard casino operations will be the overall responsibility of the hotel manager or director, who is charged with ensuring the highest standard of conduct for casino staff. In case of a gaming dispute, any passenger who feels he or she has an issue that cannot be resolved by the casino manager should bring it up to the hotel manager, and every effort will be made to resolve the problem. If the issue is not resolved onboard the vessel, each ship will have at the casino cage a current list of contact information for its home office or casino operator where the passenger can pursue his or her dispute.

The cruise vessel will have onboard comment cards for the inclusion of any comment, concern or means to improve the gambling system onboard the vessel.

Gambling is strictly for the enjoyment of the passengers who choose to avail themselves of this form of entertainment
