don't know about cruise ship poker, but i can tell you that the cruise ship casinos are pretty scrupulous. Out on the oceans i guess there are no juristictions.

For instance, at carribean stud, they set the jackpot down to 10 or 15000 with each sailing and pocket the built up amount above it from previous week from customers.

Or, at some of the carrebean resorts on certain islands they never raise jackpot amount above 15000, and furthermore u only win it if you have a royal flush of spades.

Also, jacks or better video poker, they change so its aces or better. jacks queens and kings u lose.

Needless to say i never put a dime into those places.
