We're currently experiencing a technical issue with Gamesville bingo games. In a few moments, we will bring the games down for a brief period (approximately 2-3 minutes) to correct the issue. After that, the games should proceed as normal. Thank you for your patience, attention, assistance in this matter.

Congratulations to Gamesviller Pollymaytx750900 of Sherman, TX, who hit a BIG jackpot playing CatchUp CoverAll TODAY and took home $445 in cold hard cash!

Useless Fact!

Pollymaytx750900's hometown of Sherman, TX, was named after General Sidney Sherman, a hero of the Texas Revolution. General Sherman was a key leader in the Texas Army during the 1836 Texas Revolution and afterwards in the newly established Republic of Texas. Sherman led his troops at the Battle of San Jacinto, and his men are generally credited as being the first to utter the famous warcry, "Remember the Alamo!" and the somewhat less famous, "Remember Goliad!"

The Smith family discovered their photo being used as stock photography in Prague

An American family learned recently to be careful when posting family photos on social networking sites, or family blogs. The Smith family was shocked to discover that their family's Christmas card photo was being used unbeknownst to them on a supermarket's advertisement for a delivery service in Prague. Read the family's story at The Telegraph...

Distinguishing Personality Traits

Darcyann661 says, "This is my Pit Bull Meatloaf enjoying a nap with her best friend, my cat Baldy. When Baldy was born Meatloaf took the litter of kittens and hid them several times. We would search high and low for them almost everyday and if we got close to them she would growl. Baldy's mother died two weeks after giving birth to her kittens due to complications and that's when Meatloaf took over being mom to Baldy for the next nine years. Baldy's meow sounds like 'MOM' and whenever Meatloaf heard it she would go and check on her little friend. Everywhere Meatloaf went Baldy was not far behind. They truly loved each other unconditionally and it was just amazing to watch a dog who had never been around a cat in her entire life take on the role of being an over protective mother."

Another exciting jackpot win today--this time by Bucsjets of Spring Hill, FL, who won $55 in Quick-Draw Poker. And lest we forget about our other lucky Gamesvillers who have taken home cash THIS WEEK in Quick-Draw Poker!

Congratulations to all our Quick-Draw Poker winners from this week--so far:

Congratulations again! And, everyone else--hope to see your name up in lights soon!

Today we're talking with Rockerbear of Lansing, MI, who on May 28th became our first Quick-Draw Poker 2009 jackpot winner! 

What does her member name mean? And what did it feel like to claim the crown of the first Quick-Draw Poker winner? Read on...

What will you spend your winnings on?
I will probably take the winnings to have a casino day--or save it until I can afford one.

What do you do for a living?
I am a young retiree who will probably have to go back to work. The best thing about my situation is being able to be a Grandmother to my grand kids all of the time!

If you were stranded on a desert island what three items would you bring with you?
I would bring some books, a computer and a camera.

What did it feel like to become the first Quick-Draw Poker jackpot winner?
Unbelievable! I was a fan of the old version of Quick-Draw Poker and was anxious for it to start. I was so excited when I found out one of my favorite games on Gamesville had been turned into a free game for cash prizes!

What does your Gamesville member name mean?
It is my Pomeranian dog's name--his name is Rocker and when he was a puppy and would stand up on two legs and looked like a little bear.

What game would you like to see Gamesville make next?
Maybe a new slot game and go back to smaller cash drawings so more people can win.

What do you think of the new Quick-Draw Poker?
Bingo was my first love here at Gamesville and now it's grown into cards games. I really like the new Quick-Draw Poker and now play that even more than your bingo games.

Thanks, Rockerbear - and congratulations once again on your win!

Hey Charity!

Thanks for writing us! We're actually in tip top health and really enjoying the New England weather that this time of year brings. We're happy you're on the site as evidenced by you checking out our "profile" (I'm assuming you mean my Gamesville profile). What do you think of the site? What is your favorite game so far?

Anyways, what's your VERY important news? Does it have to do with our new game Quick-Draw Poker? Or is it maybe a thought about our new monthly sweepstakes? Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Best,

- Oh! Ryan Kelley
