20 March 2009

Hi

Here we are already into the month of March! Fenruary was indeed the month of love and romance, complete with candlelight, dinner for two and champagne on ice... At African Palace, we wanted to make all our players feel as loved up as we do, so we sent out some secret Valentines and plumped up your accounts to the romantic tune of R309 007! We hope that the rest of your month was also filled with sugar and spice and all things nice...

Our 'Win a Car Just For Having Friends' promotion is in full swing and we are pleased to announce that we will be drawing our first monthly winner within the next few days! Remember, for every depositing friend you refer, we will give you R1000 as a thank you present and for every five friends who sign up with us, you will be entered into the draw for that yummy Yaris! It could be you...

Change is always welcome and we are thrilled to announce the launch of 5 new and exciting slot games that will be hosted at African Palace soon... so be sure to stop by and check out the new attractions as soon as possible!

We also have ten fantastic double sets of tickets up for grabs to see the Proteas take on the Aussies at Wanderers on the 17th April 2009. All you have to do is answer one simple question and you could be supporting our boys in green and gold on the oval next month. Click Here to answer the trivia question & enter the competition or click here to read more

Gold is glorious and gorgeous and at African Palace we have three ¼ oz Kruger Rand coins to give away during the month of March. All you have to do is play as normal, notching up those important comp points. At the end of each week, the player with the most comp points will be rewarded with an extraordinary ¼ oz Kruger Rand coin.

You can also catch up on our winners from January - a real bumper crop of them - and don't forget to try your hand at this month's Jester's Challenge. We have added a bit of a Poker twist to this one!

April...here we come...have a wonderful month and from everyone at African Palace Casino, happy gaming!

African Palace Casino is proud to announce the addition of 5 new exciting slot games to our stable of fun under the African sun! And we have a nifty new feature to introduce - the 'gamble' button, a double or nothing fun filled fest just for you and more choice than before...you decide if you want to max up the number of coins per line!

Diamond Valley Pro is a Wild West romp through the desert in search of diamonds. Join our intrepid adventurer and his fellow fortune hunters as they grab that Tequila bottle and dig their way through the bonus round of free spins and multipliers. With wild substitutes on all symbols, you can boost your treasure hunting bounty without getting your hands dirty!

Great Blue is a deep blue marine adventure which guarantees an ocean full of prizes. The gentle giant orca is your guide, leading you to a sunken treasure of precious pearls and multiple free spins. Pick your favourite clam shell and you could even scoop up 33 free spins and up to 15 multipliers. So slip on your flippers, zip up that wetsuit and let's go and explore the Great Blue! Do you fancy yourself as a Samurai warrior, that silent and deadly martial arts master from the Orient? Surround yourself with cherry blossoms and beautiful Geishas as you battle your way through a fierce ninja army to be rewarded with free spins and multipliers. Silent Samurai is a 9 line, 3 x 5 reel video slot game, which offers multiple denominations, fearless and mysterious bonus symbols and the chance to dodge a deadly attack of shuriken throwing stars...

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to dance around a fire to the beat of the drums, to smoke a peace pipe with the local medicine man or to hand carve your tribe's totem pole... now you can experience the Native American way of life with our new video slot game, Wild Spirit. You can now enjoy 20 lines and 3 x 5 reels of fiery smoke filled mystery, guided by your Chieftain into the heart of the American wilderness. With multiple denominations and 5 wild and scatter symbols, you can submerge yourself in the local culture and have your fortune told by the Shaman in the bonus round. Embrace your inner Wild Spirit with African Palace.

Farmer's Market is a fruit and vegetable delight, featuring plump peppers, appetising apples, organic oranges and onions and exciting eggplants - combine this with a bouncy bunch of grapes, the wild strawberry, bananas and watermelons and you have the makings of a spectacular video slot game! Watch out for any worms - they will end your round but find one of the magic fruits and you will have a chance to ransack the farmer's secret stash...

So be sure to make a stop at African Palace and try your hand on one of our new games - we guarantee that there is something for everyone!

The first month of 2009 has proven to be a very lucky one for some of our African Palace players! Adolf H won the impressive amount of R160 000 on the Queen of Pyramids, Erlank v Z won R52 000 playing Blackjack Multihand and Karlien C took home a very nice R50 000 from her spell in the Alchemist's Lab. Other winners are Ben d B with his R24 000 from Dr Love More and Diane K garnered a healthy R22 000 from playing Jacks or Better - I guess she got better than just Jacks!

Congrats must also go to Hendrina H for her R10 000 win at Desert Treasure, Valerie V for her piping hot R12 000 in What's Cooking and Charles W for his spin at the Roulette Pro table which netted him R6 000. Lienkie E's win has helped her pay off some of her debt and Melanie vdB was finally able to tackle that mounting credit card bill - she says "The money came when I really needed it the most!"

As you can see we have winners abounding at African Palace, so keep playing and it could soon be you being patted on the back in our newsletter!

Congratulations to all of you who correctly identified William Gates (Bill Gates) as the solution to the previous Jester Challenge. The Jester is back again with a new mind twister...

Can you guess who I am????

Commonly regarded as one of the best Poker players of all time, I was born on the 14th May 1907 in Marshall, Texas. I have been called the 'Grand Old Man of Poker' because of my longevity and superior play. I have won 9 World Series of Poker bracelets and I won the last one when I was over 70 years of age. I was one of the original American rounders and was a charter inductee of the Poker Hall of Fame in 1979. The Ace-Ten is named after me and I passed away on the 16th December 1995.

Who am I?

Send your answers to editor@africanpalace.com before our next newsletter. Correct entries will win bonuses which will be credited to their accounts before the next newsletter goes out. Please ensure that you provide your username (AFR Number) and email address together with your answer to the Jesters Challenge. Keep an eye on your email!

Thanks,
Kiara
