The slot tournament’s $250,000 prize pool was the largest of its kind ever awarded in a Slot Tournament on any Carnival Corporation cruise ship.

“We are pleased with the level of excitement that Spin & Sail generated for both tournament participants and spectators alike,” said Christine Duffy, Carnival Cruise Line President. “Spin & Sail combined the thrill of a slot tournament with the dining and entertainment experiences that a Carnival ship offers to every guest. We are thrilled to have partnered with IGT on this exciting promotion.”
