Virgin Voyages offers a small but fully featured casino onboard, located on Deck 6 between The Red Room and The Roundabout. Here, sailors can enjoy a range of gaming options, from slot machines to classic table games, all within a lively and welcoming atmosphere.

Spending in the Casino

Virgin Voyages’ casino provides a straightforward and flexible experience for managing your funds.

Sailors can use their wearable band on slot machines by setting up a PIN. The slots will also accept cash. At game tables you can charge to your band or use cash in exchange for chips.

Using Cash

Sailors can use U.S. dollars cash for gaming or, in some regions, exchange local currency on board for added convenience.

ATMs are conveniently located at both the casino cashier’s desk and Sailor Services. These machines dispense U.S. dollars only and include a transaction fee for withdrawals.

Using Card/Room Account

For those who prefer cashless options, charges can be made directly to your room account. However, note that a 7% transaction fee applies unless you’re a Rockstar/Mega Rockstar, in which case this fee is waived.

Using Sailor Loot

Sailors can also use Sailor Loot in the Casino, which is converted into promotional chips for play on table games (Some table games including Roulette and dice based games may not allow the use of Sailor Loot, confirm with the casino host before exchanging chips).

If you’d like to use your Sailor Loot on the machines, you can ask the cashier to load it into your account.

Sailor Loot does not incur a transaction fee. Remember, promotional loot must be wagered before any winnings can be cashed out.

    According to my Red Glove Coordinator the statement, “However, note that a 7% transaction fee applies unless you’re a Rockstar/Mega Rockstar, in which case this fee is waived,” is not accurate. The 7% fee still applies to Rockstars (I didn’t ask about Mega).

    1. Rob Sammons says:

      Hi Hank, is this pre-sail communications or on board? Our understanding from the onboard team is this doesn’t apply but will try and double confirm.

    2. Rob Sammons says:

      Hi Hank, I’ll double check onboard, often the pre-voyage team doesn’t match what goes on the ship!
