Not to mention the $250,000 grand prize and the $47,500 in consolation prizes at the final event. Altogether, Fortune Lounge gave away $1.5 Million in prizes during the International Casino Games. And the best part is... they're doing it all again in 2006/7!

The Cruise of Fortune
The final event was held onboard the Caribbean Princess. Each finalist won double tickets to 7 nights onboard this luxury cruise liner. When the finalists weren't playing for first place in an exciting round of onboard slot tournaments, they were being wined and dined by the Fortune Lounge casino hosts. Private beach parties, day trips to exotic islands and copious amounts of local rum... the finalists were also treated to true Fortune Lounge hospitality in VIP style.
