International Casino Games
In 2005 (into 2006), Fortune Lounge launched International Casino Games, a three month online tournament with 100 spots aboard the Caribbean Princess cruise ship as the main prize. One hundred players and their partners were taken on the cruise, visiting San Juan, Puerto Rico; St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands; Tortola, British Virgin Islands, Antigua and Barbuda, St Lucia and Barbados. On board, the players competed in a slot tournament using real slot machines, with $250 000 being given away as the main prize.
Since then, Fortune Lounge has hosted a cruise almost every year, with similar structures for entry, across all its online casinos. In 2006/2007, the prize was a Mediterranean cruise on the Costa Fortuna. One hundred players and their partners were hosted on a 7 day trip along the coasts of Spain, Italy and France. Again, there was a competition on board, using real slots, with the main prize being $250 000.
In April 2008, 50 players won double tickets on a seven day cruise which visited Toulon in France, Tunis (Tunisia), Valletta in Malta and Sicily’s Medina before returning to Rome. Four players won €50,000 each, and another six won €40,000 in the on-board slots tournament.
The fourth installment of the International Casino Games ran from August 2008 to February 2009, with a seven day cruise aboard the Grand Princess along the Spanish coast. The main prize was again split into four prizes of €50,000.
The most recent International Casino Games competition ran from October 2010 to February 2011. Fifty double tickets to a cruise on the Caribbean were given away. The onboard competition had a main prize of €50,000, and three consolation prizes of €25,000 each.

Famous quotes containing the word games:
“As long as lightly all their livelong sessions,
Like a yardful of schoolboys out at recess
Before their plays and games were organized,
They yelling mix tag, hide-and-seek, hopscotch,
And leapfrog in each other’s way all’s well.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
