This Monday, Gamesvillian Dollyju of Saint Petersburg, FL won $3,333 playing Three-Eyed Bingo at Gamesville!
And she’s a winner in good company as fellow Gamesviller Lonamberg of Big Lake, MN won $500 through the Gold Member Exclusive Treasure Chest Game!
Who will win next? Hopefully — it’s you!
Useless Fact
Dollyju’s hometown of Saint Petersburg, FL, boasts 360 days of sunshine a year! Making it a perfect match for The St. Petersburg Shuffleboard Club, which was established in 1924. It gained attention as the “World’s Largest Shuffleboard Club” with 110 courts and over 5,000 members in the 1950s and 1960s.

We've been listening to your feedback about the Gamesville homepage, and will be making some changes next week that will make it easier for you to discover all the great content we offer–as well as bring back some features we know you'll be happy to see again. Without further to do, here's a preview of the updated look for Gamesville.com…
The new design is a mix of user features that have been requested by our Gamesvillers, as well as a new approach to providing you links to all your favorite online game shows in a much more organized layout. Here's a quick snapshot of all the new features:
We're Bringing Back:
- Daily Trivia (thanks to flajack525 and others who have asked for daily trivia to return)
- Your favorite games organized on the homepage
- Game genre boxes with current prizes so you can see the prizes in all games, not just the top 5
And A Mix of New Features:
- A wider page layout, so we can show you more games
- Recent member comments from The Gamesville Blog
- Top customer service questions, with links to answers
- Game Category pages to make it easier to find games by type
- Your Stories, to highlight news and moving stories from the community
We are so pleased we could add so many heavily requested features back into the homepage layout and will be launching the new redesign over the next week or so. Be sure to let us know your thoughts on the new redesign in the comments!

The fall season is in full swing and for most of us that means getting back into a busier schedule than the relaxed summer allows. So this month's
GV Rewards Sweepstakes is a prize that offers something to keep you organized and connected while on the out and about or at home.

Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick signed a proclamation early this morning to declare September 9, 2009 as Video Game Innovation Day in the commonwealth.
What does that mean for us here at GV HQ?
It means playing some The Beatles: Rock Band (by fellow Boston-based game makers Harmonix). And it means giving away more great prizes to more game show contestants! Our online game shows continue to be red hot–with two big wins in the last 24 hours coming from Kathyron3 of Livermore, CA, who took home $756 in Magic 21, and Steve3265 of Jeffersonville, NY, who scored $81 in our newest game show, Quick-Draw Poker.
And for some of the new tune into our Gamesville Twitter account tomorrow as we kick off another round of Gamesville Twitter trivia. We'll be giving away five $25 Best Buy gift cards, so follow along and play starting at 12 noon EST tomorrow thanks to our friends Snapple.
