OK, I Did Visit The Onboard Casino

In my post the other day, I mentioned that I was boycotting the onboard Holland America casino, because they had gerryrigged their slot machines to only allow higher bids. They would only allow you to bid 9 lines at 5 bids each for example on the penny machine, rather than 1 line at 1 bid.

Well, I figured out how to change the machine. You go to the game menu, and there you can change your lines and bids. Wala! So I did that. Although I shouldn't have because I lost $80, after winning $164. I should have let sleeping dogs lie.

But one thing I am still annoyed at is the difficulty of changing the bids,. You can go to the game menu, as I mentioned, but you have to change the game info on a touch screen. It is very cumbersome, to say the least. So I am still annoyed that they are 1) counting on you not figuring this out, and 2) not having the patience to actually sit there and work with an unresponsive touchscreen. I finally got the bids the way I wanted, but as I said, I am kind of sorry. $80 sorry.
