i want to play gambling but cant go Kl cuz working 6day.... someone told me how to go gambling ship and how much is it. or can give me Agent number?

14 replies to this topic

thx for u r kindly reply. so can u told me how to contact ML world? cuz i m planning 2021/june vacation

Google should bring something up

already searching but cant find haha

You probably can't find any information at the moment for several reasons

2. The port in Penang is closed to all cruise ships. We don't know when it might reopen.

3. Have the current " cruise to nowhere" ships survived? Will they be operating by June? Again, we just don't know.

Maybe start your search again after we know what is happening with Malaysia's policy on opening its borders. Until then nothing is going out or coming back in, and that includes the gambling ships.

yes right now and unfortunately we will have restrictions throughout the world for sometime to come and will take time for things to get back to anywhere near normal... in many a case lots of things will not come back

also consider that many counties are going to insist that you have proof with you that you have had a vaccine shot or no entry ... many things we take ..have taken for granted will not exists we have been lucky here in Australia and followed the rules to the letter that the government set down ...BUT our boarders in and out of the country are still closed

Kindly inform me about it with complete details

It may even be going somewhere again before too long! https://www.thevibes.com/articles/news/46950/hopes-pinned-on-cruise-to-nowhere-to-relaunch-crippled-industry

Here's the latest.

George Town , Dec 4 : Genting Cruise Lines has been allowed to resume its domestic cruises at Swettenham Pier Cruise Terminal (SPCT) here, beginning Dec 22.

The Penang Port Commission (PPC) and SPCT will assist Genting Cruise Lines in ensuring the services provided are safe and comfortable for the passengers with tight standard operating procedures (SOP) and guidelines on how to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

Penang Poker Cruise review 2022

by HappyRiverPoker | March 27, 2023 | 5 Comments

I just came back from the first ever legal poker game based out of Penang. I wanted to write this review when my mind is still fresh and also to give the other guys joining a heads up of what to expect. Disclaimer I was approached to assist in the promotion of this room because of my network in the region and also my experience of running poker clubs. However I am NOT the host / owner and like all my reviews I try to be as honest as I can for the reviews to be worth reading.

Two tables ready of action

I arrived at the Swettenham Pier entrance at about 9:20am and there I was greeted by one of the Poker Mojo staff at the gate with my ticket ready. It was unusually packed today so there was a queue to get on the ship. However after speaking with one of the port policeman he said today’s crowd is way higher than normal, usually queues were fast and easy.

I blurred the players’ faces for privacy

The poker area was located on the bottom deck called Atlantis Deck. It is quite a nice area away from the crowded baccarat and roulette tables. But not too secluded where they still had a few curious uncles walking by and watching us. One of them actually sat down to play too. The game was RM 5/10 with 5% rake, capped at RM 70. Definitely higher than what we are used to, but 30% lower than it’s other legal competitor in the country. No rake pre flop, no rake for chopped pots, I think that’s a good start. There was a drinks cart 10 meters away offering free water, coffee and tea.

Food is not bad but not great

Before you start thinking why I only have positive things to say so far, there are negatives to this poker room as well. The obvious one it’s on a floating casino. Once you board you can’t leave until the ship docks again 8-9 hours later. There’s some entertainment to keep you occupied and a nice outdoor deck by the pool but that’s about it. You lose data access on most networks once you’re out in the open sea. WiFi is not free and it limits your usage to messaging apps only. However it seems to work with everything else on the laptop. Food on board is mediocre but you can pay for better meals if you want to.

Nice outdoor deck

The game I played in was friendly, fun, full of action, and soft. One poor dude lost about RM 10k and one lucky newbie turned his RM 500 buy in into RM 6000. They offered a jackpot and yours truly hit the second royal flush of my life to claim a RM 1500 bonus. I ended up winning almost RM 3000 for the day. They offer insurance as well but at the same time allowed running twice if there are 11 outs or more. I think that’s fairer to be given this choice rather than be forced to run once when buying insurance is mathematically impossible.

Finally back to winning ways this month

My second ever Royal Flush in 23 years of playing

There are lots of room for improvement and I understand working with a Malaysian monopoly can be frustrating. But considering it was their first run I would say I was overall pleasantly surprised with the experience. It may not become my regular grind but if I wanted a safe place to play over some weekends it would be a great choice.

What is the cruise called? Any tips on booking?

WhaT is the cruise called? What is the process of booking and costs associated? Thanks

This cruise does not offer poker anymore, only the table game. Don’t waste your time if you are only interested in poker cash games

how to join?

Is there any hotline ?

Slow to expand, internet casino gambling is the future of US betting, industry execs say

Internet casino gambling is legal in only a handful of states, but the industry is convinced it is the future of betting, even as some worry about cannibalizing physical casinos

SECAUCUS, N.J. -- Internet casino gambling is legal in only a handful of states, but the industry is convinced it is the future of betting, even as some worry about cannibalizing physical casinos.

Speaking Wednesday at the SBC Summit North America, a major gambling industry conference, industry executives acknowledged the difficulty they've had in expanding the legalization of online casino games.

Yet they remain certain that, like many other industries, the future of gambling is online.

“Once you get to millennials, people are comfortable basically running their entire life off their cell phone,” said Elizabeth Suever, a vice president with Bally's Corporation. “This is where gaming is going.”

It's just not getting there all that quickly.

Only seven U.S. states currently offer legal online casino games: Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and West Virginia. Nevada offers internet poker but not online casino games.

In contrast, 38 states plus Washington D.C. offer legal sports betting, the overwhelming majority of which is done online, mostly through cell phones.

When the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way in 2018 for any U.S. state to offer legal sports betting, such bets “took off like a rocket,” said Shawn Fluharty, a West Virginia legislator and president of the National Council of Legislators from Gaming States.

“Many people thought i-gaming would follow suit,” he said. “That has not taken place.”

“It's been a rough road,” agreed Brandt Iden, a vice president with Fanatics Betting & Gaming. “I-gaming is paramount; this is the direction the industry needs to go to be successful, and this is where consumers want it to go.”

Last month, Deutsche Bank issued a research note saying it is likely a matter of “when, not if” internet gambling in Atlantic City overtakes revenue from physical casinos.

Panelists agreed the industry needs to do a better job of educating state lawmakers about internet casino games, drawing explicit comparisons with the illegal, unregulated offshore web sites that attract customers from across the country. Legal sites are strictly regulated and offer customer protections, including responsible gambling options like self-imposed time-outs and deposit and activity limits, they said.

Cesar Fernandez, a senior director with FanDuel, said online casino games should prove increasingly attractive as federal post-pandemic aid dries up and states look for new revenue without raising taxes on their residents.

“Since 2018, FanDuel has paid $3.2 billion in taxes,” he said. “That's a lot of teacher salaries, a lot of police officers and firefighters.”

The industry cites several challenges to wider approval of internet casino gambling, including fears of increasing gambling addiction by “putting a slot machine in people's pocket,” Iden said, adding casino companies need to do a better job of publicizing player protections the online companies offer.

Then there is the ongoing debate in the industry over whether internet gambling cannibalizes physical casinos. Many in the industry have long said the two types of gambling complement each other.

But recently, some casino executives have said they believe online gambling is hurting the revenues of brick-and-mortar casinos. Rob Norton, president of Cordish Gaming, which owns physical casinos and internet gambling operations, has become one of the loudest voices raising the alarm that online gambling is hurting established physical casinos.

“We're setting ourselves up for our own failure,” he said Wednesday.

Norton said that once online sports betting began in Maryland, in-person sports betting revenue in the company's Maryland Live! casino declined by 65% “and has stayed there.”

There has been a decrease of about 7,000 people a day entering the physical casino since mobile sports betting began, Norton said.

He said that may be one reason why online casino games have not spread more widely.

“Last year, eight states considered i-gaming,” he said. “Not one passed.”

Adam Glass, an executive with Rush Street Interactive, an online gambling company, said his firm has relationships with physical casinos as well, and works hard to be “additive” to them.

He said online gambling can also be a job creator, not only designing and operating the games themselves, but also in ancillary industries like marketing and media.

Ouincy Raven, U.S. managing director of NeoGames Group, a technology platform company recently acquired by Aristocrat Leisure Limited, said what may appear as cannibalization to one person may in fact be successful business to another company that takes market share from a rival by giving the customer what he or she wants.

“That's not cannibalization; it's just competition,” he said.
