Apologies if this has been mentioned before elsewhere but I haven't seen it.
This arrived through my door the other day, the December 2006 edition apparently with a picture of Richard Branson on the front. It says on it compliments of fortune lounge but a quick read reveals it basically is one large fortune lounge advert. The thing I thought was a bit dodgy sounding was the letters bit on page 8. There is one "winning story" from Rose Anne D and this is what it says.......
"I have so many reasons to thank Fortune Lounge casinos. A few months ago, I won the LotsALoot progressive for over $16 000. At that time I was going through a dramatic episode. My brother died in a tragic fire and his wife was on life support for three months until she passed away. They left behind a daughter of 10 years old. they had no insurance so their expenses were left on my shoulders. I loved them, so I took on this burden. (Amusingly I mist typed that word there and put burned instead of burden, freudian slip i guess haha)
I have been with Fortune Lounge for over hree years and have played at many other online casinos but believe me Fortune Lounge is the best. I just want to say that the odds with Fortune Lounge are better than going to a land based casino.
I just wanted to share my story with all those players who are `pinching` their pennies to play and have their fair share of day-to-day problems and tragedies as well. This has been therapeutic for me, an escape in a sense. I can play comfortably in my bedroom, and I limit what I deposit. When I least expect it...the bells go off and and I'm sitting there dazed, wondering `Did I just win?` and then I realise I have ! I wish you all good luck. May Fortune Lounge shine on you as it has shined on me!"
What the feck is that about !??! Ohh my family died but thanks to fortune lounge it was ok?!?! The who magazine basically reads of similar sickening thumbs up story for fortune lounge. Like online etiquette 101..."I never win! This game is rigged!" OK, let's toss out that frustration based fallacy right now. There was a time years ago when some in online gaming might have been a bit shady. But that's not the case nowadays, especially if you're dealing with a reputable site such as Fortune Lounge. In short, the games are not rigged - of you lost, it was fair and square.
I noticed there was a cover price on the mag of $4.99 as well, quite why anyone would want to pay that for a fortune lounge advert is beyond me.
I found the whole things very fake and as if players were paid to say it or the stories were just created by fortune lounge themselves.....I am sure someone else on here did something similar did they not ? Of course the stories could be legit....or at least elements of them could be but the whole magazing just made me think that fortune lounge are really annoying and sod ever playing in their casinos cos they have such a crap way of trying to make themselves sound great. Anyway, rant over !
