The bartender stopped serving drinks to the people gambling and was making patrons pay cash for drinks at the bar.
they said that normally takes a while for everyone to cash in. They could still gamble but couldn't cash in if the cashier had stopped redeeming them. Once the boat announced that people needed to start considering getting their gambling cash vouchers turned in for cash.
They WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO USE THEM IF YOU WALK TO THE BAR! There you have to pay cash. They have a rule that you must be gambling to use the vouchers (tickets) for a drink. The boat gives drink tickets to each customer. Well, that is, until we me the most unpleasant bartender in the Casino named 'Jessica'. It's a decent boat and overall we had an fairly decent time.
We took our first trip on the Tropical Breeze Casino boat today with friends.
