Carnival hosted its first-ever $1 million slot tournament on Mardi Gras this week, featuring the largest slots prize ever offered on a Carnival Cruise Line ship.
100 prizes were given to players in the competition, including the top prize of $500,000 awarded to the first-place winner. An awards ceremony was held on board Thursday to conclude the week-long competition. Over 1,600 players participated, making it Carnival’s largest casino tournament to date.
“It’s fitting that the biggest casino event in our company’s history coincides with our 50th birthday. Seeing firsthand the enthusiasm for the $1M Slot Tournament from our guests, I’m looking forward to us building on this with similar events,” said Jonathan Lask, Carnival’s vice president of casino and performance marketing.
