ALDERNEY, Channel Islands, June 28, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- The Fortune Lounge Group (www.fortunelounge.com), one of the largest and most credible online casino groups in the world, announces that the Fortune Lounge Personal Messenger (FLPM) application has achieved a 90 percent adoption rate among active players since its debut earlier this year. Believed to be the industry's first tool for delivering player-specific information to the desktop, the FLPM is similar to instant message and chat applications that reside unobtrusively in the task bar and are activated when a new message is received.
Released in January 2005, the FLPM offers new and existing players the ability to receive personalized messages, account information, gaming news and updates on the Fortune Lounge Group's robust promotions, bonus offers and prizes in real time. The application is designed to help players avoid the extremely rigorous spam filtering systems of many e-mail providers that can prevent legitimate invitations and offers from reaching the intended recipients.
In addition to notifying users of special promotions and news, the FLPM provides players with one-click access to all gaming software. A new release of the FLPM, scheduled for mid-July, will provide a 24-hour link to Fortune Lounge's dedicated support team, access to account balance information, a direct link to the casino winners' wall and easy retrieval of Players Club loyalty point balances.
The FLPM application offers automatic and manual message retrieval to enable players to choose how they would like to receive information. With automatic retrieval, an alert sounds when a new message or content becomes available. Players also have the option of choosing when to check for new messages and updates manually. The application can be removed at any time without disrupting the operating system or casino play.
Players at the following online gaming venues have access to the Fortune Lounge Personal Messenger:
Desert Dollar Casino Fortune Room Casino Havana Club Casino Platinum Play Casino Royal Vegas Casino Royal Vegas Poker 7Sultans Casino 7Sultans Poker Vegas Palms Casino Vegas Towers Casino Vegas Villa Casino
