Letter from the Editor

Hi ,

Sport’ fans were in for a treat these past few weeks. Two exciting Grand Prix races, The Cricket Pro Twenty World Cup World, and the Rugby World Cup continuously delivered non-stop action. African Palace followed suit by delivering non-stop winning as well. Apart from the tie-in prediction competitions for the Rugby and the F1, we decided winners in special Spring and Movie-themed promotions. We also had BIG winners at the casino this last fortnight, but we far from done yet. Thirty names have been drawn for the African Palace Rugby World Cup Giveaway as we are now just three weeks away from the Grand draw to decide who goes to France to watch the Semi-Finals and the Finals of the Rugby World Cup!

In all this excitement, we also launched the LIVE games suite. For a whole new gaming experience, players can now get the closest feel of being at a land-based casino right from their PC!

One of our players, Jenna K, said this about the new live games: “At first I thought I was watching a recording, but with the chat interaction, and actually watching my cards being dealt live, I was thoroughly impressed. I won big too! So I left the dealer a good tip when I was done.”
With the live games and the six new games available you can be sure that African Palace Casino will always be trying to find new ways to improve your gaming experience and make winning as fun as playing.

This week we've got another double header as the F1 goes to Japan and South Africa takes takes on United States in the final pool match at the World Cup. As always, everyone at the Palace will be wearing their Green and Gold proudly as we support the Boks on their quest for the ultimate prize. Go Boks!

Until next time...

Regards,

It started at the tenth Grand Prix race of the season in the legendary Nürburgring circuit, and since then our His Win Could Be Your Win prediction competition has grown rapidly in popularity. The excitement of the competition is kept alive with the F1 itself being so tight that any of the top four drivers could win the championship. Nobody wants to enter a prediction competition where everybody knows the winner! And with three races in the space three weeks with three more races to go, this year’s F1 is the best we’ve seen in decades. African Palace has amplified the excitement by giving away over R400 000 in real money bonuses so far. The number of entries is increasing with each race, and every entrant who has correctly predicted winners in the Grand Prix is guaranteed a bonus on their deposit so you really have nothing to lose. Take your share of the winnings and don’t forget to enter the competition when the F1 goes to the Japanese Fuji Speedway next. If you have any questions mail me!

Congratulations to all of you who knew the solution to the Jester Challenge. Percival Montgomery was indeed the correct answer, and at the World Cup we are all hoping he breaks all kinds of records, including being part of the next World Championship winning team.

A minimum of R100 was given to players that correctly submitted their details upon notification of their winnings.

If you didn’t win last time, the Jester is back to redeem himself in the palace with this weeks trivia question..

Can you guess who this is:

I was born in 1964. I was the fourth of five brothers. When I was three, my father left the family. I was raised by my mother and step-father, a railway ticket clerk, and only met my father again at the age of nineteen. While initially opposed to drama school, I changed my mind in 1984, after a long and fruitless period of searching for work. I graduated from RADA in 1987 in a class including both Ralph Fiennes and Jane Horrocks. After graduation, I won a position at the Young Vic, performing in several Shakespearean plays. In an incident I later described as "very schmaltzy," I met my future wife.

I am a regular performer in Hollywood and independent films. I was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, but didn’t win. However, I won the Golden Globe Award for the same role. I have since appeared as noir anti-hero, a charismatic bank robber, a knight to the queen, and even a King.

I also appeared in a West End and Broadway hit play, by Patrick Marber, which again became a film. It is interesting to note that I portrayed the protagonist in the play but the antagonist in the film version. My darkly comic portrayal in the film version earned me a lot of recognition as well as the awards mentioned above.

Last year I received widespread praise for my role as a former political activist-turned-reluctant hero. The film was nominated for various awards. I try, every film I do, to be as good as I can and that’s all I can do
