Palm Beach Princess casino has Mustang, motorcycle, WaveRunner giveaways
The Palm Beach Princess Casino has a "swipe and win" game on each cruise, giving away a convertible Mustang GT, WaveRunner and a Yamaha V-Star 1300 motorcycle. The first giveaway is Nov. 22.
And they're doing something interesting in the poker room: Sharing 100 Florida lottery tickets every Saturday night. If any of the 100 tickets hit 5 of 6 or 6 of 6 -- the big money -- everyone in the poker room splits the loot. I'm not exactly sure how you qualify -- what if you're just off to the side with a beer? -- but it's a fun idea. I give them credit.
There also is a blackjack tournament the first three Thursday nights in November, with a $5,000 final. One qualifier will be chosen each tournament, with a 90 percent payback.
Poker is having a $1,000 high hand promotion on Nov. 6, a WPT satellite tournament during the day on Nov. 14 and a free $300 prize pool no buy-in tournament on Thursday evenings.
SPECIAL EVENTS:
Veteran’s Day: Veterans sail free both cruises, Nov. 11
Thanksgiving Celebration: Nov. 26, both cruises
Ladies Night: All women sail free on the evening cruise, Nov. 12. Lady voted best singer of the night will be crowned Princess Idol.

NICK SORTAL began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr. Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood Hold 'Em game in Plantation. I have been given the assignment of writing about the gambling life in South Florida casinos for the Sun-Sentinel...which means sitting around watching poker on TV now counts as research.
