Derek, you know better than that! I have heard that since my first cruise, but I have never seen any indication of it. What I do see is that the casino is busiest on the first night, so more big hits are likely. By the end of the trip, people are either out of bankroll or sick of the casino, so it's less crowded. My hand pays and best hits have been scattered throughout the cruises, and at times when the casino wasn't busy at all, so pretty much no one even saw them.
