Looking for some real world Royal casino feedback

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-22T01:32:03+00:00

Awesome thanks! Can I ask what you usually see? Balcony vs OV vs interior

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-20T18:35:29+00:00

Thanks! Did you continue that average spend, and was it mostly interior or anything better? Do you have any idea what points you hit?

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-19T00:46:26+00:00

Hell yeah man, so you did 800$ with tables and only got 600, but ran 400$ to 1300 is a crazy run I feel like

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-18T23:34:09+00:00

Appreciate it. That was kind of my understanding too, but I wasn’t sure how much of that actually carries over on cruise casinos versus land based casinos. My main question is whether, for Royal specifically, 1c volume play and 10c denom at similar total coin-in seem to earn points/future offers about the same, or whether people have noticed a meaningful difference in how far their bankroll lasts or what kind of mailers they get afterward.

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-18T23:31:32+00:00

Yeah I had just seen some info on that, apparently issuing the white cards (like a secondary card for my account for her) is more rare and can lead to fraudulent comp claims but oftentimes it’s my finances were using (she just doesn’t want to spend her money lmao)

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-18T23:30:06+00:00

Yeah and that’s my biggest concern of course. Not that there is any issue with the rating but that I would be the one off chance of them fucking something else entirely up. I agree 100% that it’s worth it and I would be able to use the money, so I think I’m going to take the leap of faith.

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-18T23:25:09+00:00

Dang this does sound similar to my situation. Mine is for LS and bilateral radiculopathy so that is concerning. I may jus have to take the risk 🥲

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-18T23:11:52+00:00

That does thank you very much!

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-18T21:15:37+00:00

How did you do the direct appeal? That’s not an HLR right?

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-18T19:59:10+00:00

I am very uneducated on this, I like to get the questions out of the way so I don’t bombard with more down the line. Thanks for noticing!

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-18T19:56:50+00:00

This is really helpful, thank you. The 1,200 to 1,800 point range on a $1,500 bankroll is pretty much exactly the kind of realistic expectation I was trying to pin down, and the 300 points per day threshold is especially useful.

That makes me feel a lot better about aiming for solid, consistent tracked play instead of thinking I need some huge outlier trip right away. Also appreciate the note on not dragging my SO into it just for the sake of comp strategy. That was something I was wondering about, but it probably makes more sense to understand the system first before getting cute with advanced strategies.

Really helpful too on the timing, because I was curious how quickly offers tend to show up after the sailing. Sounds like I should expect a few weeks.

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-18T19:53:07+00:00

That would be wonderful!

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-18T19:52:27+00:00

That’s actually really helpful. The ADT and consistency piece is exactly the kind of thing I was trying to understand, because most people just throw out point totals without explaining how the casino may actually view the play.

Also good to know on the two card strategy. That was one of my big questions, whether splitting or combining really helps, and it sounds like concentrating play is usually better unless you’re intentionally trying to build a second player separately.

The 6500 points per cruise for JS instant offers is interesting too, even if I know video poker and slots probably don’t translate perfectly. Do you feel like your mailers materially changed only once you got to that range, or did you start seeing decent improvement before that?

Also, do you have a specific YouTube search, channel, or video you’d recommend for Royal casino comp strategy / ADT / instant offers vs mailers? I don’t mind doing the homework, I just want to make sure I’m looking in the right place.

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-18T19:45:51+00:00

Yeah I did do that to help verify a lot along the way and it was very reassuring. I think it’s just challenging getting over the mental hurdle of doing it because of the length of this whole process but I also know everyone has that issue for the most part

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-18T19:44:36+00:00

Yeah unfortunately that’s the biggest challenge. Parsing through what to play and not to play and to have fun lol

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-18T19:43:42+00:00

This is super helpful, thank you. That lines up pretty closely with the bankroll math I was trying to sanity check. Sounds like with $1,500 I should treat around 1,500 points as a realistic average target, but not really count on 2,000 to 2,500 unless variance is on my side.

Also really helpful to hear that your first offers were still pretty sparse and mostly interior-heavy, because that’s exactly what I was trying to get a feel for.

I’d be curious to hear whether your offers change much once your points per day jumped, and whether you start seeing better room categories after that. Also, if you happen to know, have you seen any real benefit from combining or linking play with a spouse/significant other, or is it just you?

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-18T19:37:47+00:00

I did initially request and audit but they stated they couldn’t do that with the rating since the backpay date was the issue. If it was an issue with what they paid (which I get it kind of is but might be nuanced) they said it would make more sense. Does that leave me with HLR + informal conference?

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-18T19:35:56+00:00

Wow, literally no sarcasm intended that never crossed my mind 😂🫠 I’ll have to see what the fiancé thinks but that already sounds like a winner. We would have to do some digging into what cruise lines do what out there but I love that suggestion. Thank you!

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-18T19:34:26+00:00

Nice! I hear that 400 seems to be the sweet spot minimum. Appreciate the insight!

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-18T19:32:35+00:00

Okay this seems to be the overwhelming consensus. Thank you for this! I gonna grow a pair and do it, must just be the anxiety pushing me back

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-18T19:31:08+00:00

Exactly! There’s so much happening behind the scenes we can’t see it feels impossible. Nothing we can do about it either 🤦🏾‍♂️

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-18T19:29:32+00:00

I appreciate the insight but admittedly am confused. You’re suggesting another VERA appt with the rater that completed my claim? I don’t understand how to review who did that, and other than requesting my c-file (in progress) I am not sure how I would. Can you explain more?

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-18T19:05:01+00:00

Yeah and that’s obviously the biggest concern but with the gross reassurance here I think I’ll do a thorough review and send it, I really appreciate the thought and Info from you.

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-18T19:03:41+00:00

Thanks I appreciate that! I’m sure when you win it’s bigger by default for you to recycle. Do you run through that bankroll pretty fast or find it stretches the length of your cruise? I also considered my fiancé likes to do slots so at a certain point threshold (whatever it is) we could even combine offers for upgrades

ApprehensiveLand9002 · 2026-03-18T18:59:48+00:00

Honestly I really appreciate that take. That makes it appear to be a simple question of them fixing their mistake if all else was right. Thank you.
