All cruise ship casinos have numerous slot machine options, and most have table games as well, including blackjack and a variety of poker games (Ultimate Texas Hold'em, Caribbean Stud, Three Card, Let It Ride) that you play against the dealer. For Texas Hold'em played against other players, some ships will have dealer-dealt tables (Norwegian Cruise Line, most Royal Caribbean ships), while others will use electronic Poker Pro tables (Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruises). Still other ships will not offer Texas Hold'em at all; Silversea doesn't offer poker of any variety. There's usually also at least one roulette table and one craps table, and a rare few will have Baccarat.

Most cruise ships with a casino will offer tournaments of some kind. Most common are slot and blackjack. Most tournaments are buy-ins where you pay a certain amount to enter and then don't actually spend money during the tournament. Some cruise lines allow you to rebuy during blackjack and poker tournaments, so winners tend to be whichever player is willing to continually rebuy. Winners of tournaments typically win money but on some ships, namely Royal Caribbean, winners of the Texas Hold'em tournament are also eligible to receive a free cruise for two on which the final Royal Poker Tournament is held, for which a prize pool of $100,000 is guaranteed.

Take a seat at the table and place your bets. Try your luck with classic Vegas-style table games like mini-baccarat, craps or roulette, or practice your poker face with card games like Blackjack or Let it Ride. Whatever your preference or level of play, Ocean Casino Resort offers players a wide variety of casino gaming in an upscale, sophisticated setting.

I'm taking a cruise with Adventure of the Seas next month, and have hard time finding any information about poker on the ship. Does somebody have an idea what kind of cash games are available, do they have live dealers or elecronic machines, what are the blinds, what is the rake?

I used to play poker in the army and with friends when I got out but I never got into the Texas Hold-em. I play black jack when I m on the ships but I have seen the Texas Hold-em games. Cant remember which ships I saw them on or what the blinds were. Sorry but it didnt mean anything to me at the time.

All of the electronic poker machines are now GONE, thank God. It's not that I didn't care for the machines....I actually kinda liked them but they were ALWAYS broken. We sailed on the last cruise on Allure where they had the machines. When we disembarked, so did the Poker Pro machines ! Now everyone has a live dealer, which seems to be the vast majority of peoples' preference.

The problem with live Texas Hold "Em cash games is that it is often difficult to get a game started. They almost never have any action during the day. The single exception for us was when we were on a TA on Radiance in 2015. We played EVERY day for 12 days, afternoon and evenings. But that is a TRUE anomaly. Most evenings, you just kind of have to plant yourself at a table and eventually folks who are interested will come by and get a game started. This was one nice thing about the poker machines. They were available 24/7. But they are gone now. My experience is that once you get a poker "group" established, you will end up playing with the same folks every night, which is almost always a good thing. At least you figure out who the bullies are and learn to play around them.

The big ships - Oasis class for sure (not sure about Q class but will find out in 3 weeks) have 2 tables. There used to be 3 of the electronic machines on the O class ships but when they booted the poker players out of their special area and installed high roller tables (which are ALWAYS empty), they went down to 2. When they replaced the electronic machines with dealer tables, they kept it at 2. That, presumably, is to be able to operate cash games and tournaments simultaneously, but I never ever see that occurring.

Texas Holdem cash games have been a hit or miss for me so far on RCL. I've been on Liberty, Jewel, Adventure, Allure, and Radiance. The only time we had $1/$3 games were on the Allure, rest were aleays $2/$5. Allure was also the only ship were every night you had tons of players. On all other ships, we've had enough people (6 or more) on only maybe 2 of the nights. In fact on the Radiance, all of us poker players all got together and had a private games in the game room instead.

The final round of bidding will end and if more than one player remains in the round then a showdown takes place. All remaining players will show their 4-card hand and use these cards plus the central card to make the highest poker hand possible.

Rake is taken pre-flop. For a full game, this means that the blinds post and then the dealer takes all the chips and slides them into her tray, and puts a $4 marker on top of the drop slot. A bit daunting to realize the pot is empty preflop! So much for the "poker begins as a struggle for the antes" concept. Luckily, the players aren't deterred from struggling for what isn't there. Also, since they have a no flop, no drop rule, you can raise and win the $4 in blinds. Limping into the pot preflop is rarely correct due to the rake structure (though common).

Very much a "neighborhood poker room", but open and friendly (and physically open as well). The original Ocean View was on Front Street, then moved to its current location in 2000 (story). Some of the regulars have been playing here for decades.

For a period during the late 1980's, Los Angeles and Santa Cruz were the only counties in the state where flop games could be spread legally. As a consequence, several now-defunct Santa Cruz cardrooms such as the Pleasure Point Casino were the only option for Northern California Hold'em and Omaha players. When flop games were legalized statewide, the large Bay Area clubs eventually drove Santa Cruz clubs out of business. The Ocean View is the sole living heir of a town with a once-thriving poker scene. 041b061a72
