Joanne,You don't have to bring any coins with you. If you decide to play the slots, simply go to the cashier and buy a roll of whatever coins you need. When you're finished (and if you have any coins left) you just take them back to the cashier and exchange them for bills. In fact, you might not need to buy coins at all. Some slot machines accept bills and give you "credits", which you play with until you finish and "cash out". Bottom line,don't bother to bring coins to the ship!KV
