Come along with me for a walk through the casino on Holland America’s Nieuw Amsterdam. With only about 2,000 passengers on the ship, I wasn’t expecting a big casino, but it’s rather tiny. We’ll check out the table games, the slots, the coin pushers and the casino bar and lounge.

Key Takeaways
- The casino is small, which makes sense on a ship with only about 2,000 passengers.
- The casino is open to the Billboard Onboard lounge right on the other side, so it all feels like one open space.
- Table games include blackjack and Fun 21.
- Slots include Huff N’ Puff, Quick Hits and Dancing Drums.
- There were only three Lightning Link machines on this sailing.
- My favorite game, Dragon Link, had just two machines in the whole casino.
- Coin pushers are here too, and a lot of people like to sit and play those.
- There’s a casino bar with some lounge seating around the corner.
Good to Know
If you’re a Dragon Link or Lightning Link fan, be ready for some competition. With only two Dragon Links and three Lightning Links on board, it can be tough to grab one when the casino is busy, or even when it’s not.
Keep in mind games are always subject to change, so there may be more or fewer of these machines by the time you sail. What you see in this video is what was on board when I filmed it.
The casino may be small, but there’s a second little area off to the side, so walk all the way around before you decide what to play. The casino bar is a handy spot to grab a drink while you try your luck.
