MIDDLESEX, England, Aug 29, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — The Fortune Lounge Group’s ( www.fortunelounge.com) Vault of Mystery promotion ended recently, paying out a total of USD $160,000 in prizes. Again, The Fortune Lounge Group has set the standard for interactive and entertaining promotions.

The Vault of Mystery promotion, which ran from 24 May to 4 August 2008, had players taking part in weekly promotions. Winners were awarded casino credits for their efforts and the luckier ones won keys to open safety deposit boxes within a vault — but only one winner would be able to open the grand-prize box.

The final Vault of Mystery event saw Ileene D walk away with a fantastic 20,000 casino credits after unlocking the winning box.

The promotion may have come and gone, but it has heralded the start of the International Casino Games IV, running from August 2008 to February 2009.

Due to the enormous success of the first three editions of this prestigious event, the International Casino Games ( www.internationalcasinogames.com) is set for its fourth installment and again offers over 1 million euro in prizes. The International Casino Games event features many weekly promotions and tournaments which will all culminate in a voyage aboard the 5-star Grand Princess luxury-cruise liner in early 2009.

Over the past three years, this one-of-a-kind event has paid out more than 3.5 million euro in prizes to its winners — new and old players alike. The grand-prize winners were fortunate enough to walk away from the cruise up to USD $250,000 richer.

The International Casino Games is open to all players, and competing in this year’s competition will give participants the opportunity to win one of 100 double tickets to embark on a luxurious European cruise and compete in the live final event for one-of-four 50,000 euro grand-prizes.

“Taking part in the International Casino Games this year (2008/9) couldn’t be easier for any of our players — old and new alike. Simply go online and enter as many of the International Casino Games promotions as you can. Who knows, it could be you who strikes it rich whilst touring in luxury.” - says John Hughes, Marketing Director of Fortune Lounge.
