Highlights included wine tasting in Toulon, and lunch in Monte Carlo,
Carthage in Tunis, the famous 'Old City' Valetta, a fantastic seafood lunch in
Medina, and Capri and Pompeii in Naples. The main event was the International
Casino Games III finals.
The ICG III Final event came to a thrilling conclusion with an onboard slots
tournament which saw all 100 finalists playing in a knock-out event, after which
10 went head-to-head for a share of €240,000 in cash.
The top four players all walked away from the event €50,000 richer, while the
other six finalists shared the remaining 40,000.
Members from Fortune Lounge, who hosted the event aboard the cruise, agreed
that the ICG III would be the benchmark for future ICG final events.

About the International Casino Games
The International Casino Games promotion and tournament is now an annual event
and promotion at Fortune Lounge and was started back in 2005. The Final still
carries the largest Casino cash prize-pool of €240,000 (US$384,000).
The first ICG Cruise was held in the Caribbean with a first prize of $250,000
cash. The second was held in the Mediterranean, also with a $250,000 first
prize. This year, Fortune Lounge upped the prize-pool and provided more players
with a chance at a grand prize. Finalists found the new prize-split far more
compelling and it made the event more exciting throughout.
