Win big or lose hard at an onboard slot or blackjack tournament

A cruise ship’s casino is often one of the busiest public rooms onboard. Day and night, guests try their luck at blackjack, poker, and a variety of slot machines. If you’re luckier than most or enjoy the thrill of competition, you might be interested in Carnival’s “Wild Winners” slot and blackjack tournaments taking place on 19 cruises this year.

Between January and October, Carnival will host tournaments on various three- to eight-night cruises. The event is cosponsored by the Ocean Players Club, an onboard casino rewards program. All guests who preregister for the competition will receive a free gift in their staterooms. First-place winners in each of the 19 preliminary tournaments will earn $2,500 and a free cruise for two so they can compete in the final rounds held on the November 12 departure of the Carnival Freedom.

The entry fee is $50 for the preliminary rounds and $100 for the finals. For details on the participating sailings, visit the Ocean Player Club’s website. For more information on Carnival’s ships and itineraries, or to book a cruise, visit Carnival’s website.
