Carnival Cruise

[Lurshy]

I was on Carnival 'Victory' this past summer. It had one of those electronic multi-player touch screen Hold-em machines.

They were basically running Turbo, high vig sit-n-gos. They also said on most cruises they get 3-6 limit going on it. but on my cruise it was just the sit n gos. I think it was 60+20 300 200 100 but I could be wrong there. The 200 total vig (20*10) @ ~30% buy-in was pretty steep especially considering there is no dealer.

That said, I was up: won one and placed in a second one. Didn't money in 3 or 4...

Big screen board in the middle and each person had their own touch screen to view their cards and place bets.

I hear they have this contraption on a few of their boats. I would never play on one of these machines if there was a live dealer alternative, but it wasn't horrible either except for the vig and round lengths.
