Casino on board
Epic Casino: one of the largest casinos at sea, spread across two areas on Deck 6; hundreds of slot machines, blackjack, roulette, craps, poker and baccarat tables, a VIP room and the Casinos at Sea programme.
The casino is part of Norwegian Cruise Line's Casinos at Sea programme: play earns points, and points set your reward tier from Pearl to Elite and your certificates for future cruises. The floor offers slot machines from 1¢ to $100 a spin, video poker and live-dealer tables; table minimums vary by time of day, with high-limit tables up to $5,000. The casino host looks after slot and blackjack tournaments during the cruise, free-play promotions and table reservations. The casino opens while the ship sails in international waters and is closed in port.
