Pricing
Expect $5–10 minimums for most table games (Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, Poker variants). Slots and Video Poker allow very low-stakes play (penny-level). For tournaments, check the specific cruise’s daily schedule or onboard app for entry costs.
Attire
Casual attire is recommended, such as shorts, t-shirts, and sandals, but swimwear, bare feet, or tank tops for men are not permitted. On Elegant Evenings, smart-casual attire like collared shirts and slacks is preferred.
How to reserve
To access Carnival’s casino offerings, check your pre-cruise emails or Fun Match promotions for special deals such as free cruises, onboard credits, or complimentary drinks. If you receive one, you may need to register in advance. While you can’t “purchase” casino access directly, your Sail & Sign card serves as your casino ID—just insert it into slot machines or present it at table games to track your play and start earning rewards through the Carnival Players Club.
How to purchase
Once onboard, you can fund your casino play by charging up to $5,000 per day to your Sail & Sign account. As you play, you'll earn points toward perks like free drinks, discounted spa or dining experiences, and access to slot or table tournaments. Visit the Casino Host early in your cruise to inquire about available promotions and tournament signups. There’s no need for reservations—just bring your Sail & Sign card and play to unlock benefits.
