Do the slot machines on Carnival take cash?

Yes, we do. However, while you can insert cash into our machines, we run on a coin-less system. Therefore, your winnings and outstanding balances must be cashed out from your Player Bank at the Casino Cashier's Desk. You may also access those funds for continued gaming action at another slot machine in the casino.
