After the final whistle · adults only
Golden Goal Casino
A 2,000 m² casino on deck 5 of MS Striker Star, open every night of the voyage to adults aged 18 and over who hold a Cruise + Casino ticket.
18+No entry under 18, with or without a parent. Photo ID is checked at the door on every visit. Gambling involves risk and you can lose money.
The room
Green felt, pitch-line lights
The casino follows the theme of the ship. The tables are covered in green felt, the lighting is laid out like the markings of a pitch, and a match-day lounge at the entrance shows the late games on the big screen for guests taking a break between hands.
Slots, blackjack, roulette and baccarat run on the main floor. Texas Hold’em has its own quieter room at the back, where guests play against each other with a dealer.
The casino is a separate, closed area. Guests on a cruise ticket without casino access cannot enter it.
