Yee-haw! And congratulations to Gamesviller Rockerbear of Lansing, MI.  On May 28, she proved to be the fastest gun in the West–and became our first Quick-Draw Poker 2009 jackpot winner!

Rockerbear of Lansing, MI

Because Rockerbear is a GV Gold member in good standing, the $100 jackpot she claimed automatically doubled from $100 to $200.

Rockerbear enjoys bingo, crafts, and ther wild outdoors. We're guessing, she's going to add Quick-Draw Poker to that last pretty soon

Congratulations again to Rockerbear–and thank you, everyone, for your feedback on Quick-Draw Poker.

We understand there are some hardware/software configurations that are having troubles connecting with certain game rooms, and thanks to the awesome assistance of members like Crickettot and others, we're diagnosing those problems and releasing updates that are fixing them. We released two updates on Friday, and have another planned for early next week.

We truly appreciate your support, and are very happy you're enjoying the game. But hold onto your hats, because there's much more to come at Gamesville in 2009! More fun, more prizes, more…. more.

Sincerely,

Yesterday, Mommabear292 of Hellertown, PA, won $413 playing CatchUp CoverAll (congrats, Mommabear292!) — and she's not the only one. In May alone, FOUR lucky winners won jackpots in CatchUp CoverAll including Tysondarty of Burnaby, British Columbia, who won $453!

What does her member name mean? And what would she bring with her to a desert island? Read on…

Gamesville: Congratulations! What was it like when you realized you won?
Complete disbelief! It was early in morning and everybody was sleeping. I received some chat room congratulations that were super, even the next day in another game. I brought hubby into the office the next morning to ask him to explain something to me on computer. Then I surprised him by showing him page with my win. I got a surprised look and then kisses.

What will you spend your winnings on?
We are seniors so travel is often beyond our limited budget. If we can pull off airfare and spending money our son has offered to pay for our accommodations so the three of us can take a trip to Hawaii. Yippee!

What do you do for a living?
Retired home care worker. Love the free time, hate the lack of money to do anything, expect play on Gamesville, LOL.

If you were stranded on a desert island what three items would you bring with you?
Computer, lifetime supply of beer, family.

What is your most treasured possession and why?
Family and friends, they got me through my cancer experience and I wouldn't trade them for anything.

What does your Gamesville member name mean?
A combination of Tyson(my last name), Dar (what my friends call me), Ty (what friends call my hubby).

What game would you like to see Gamesville make next?
I really like slots and poker games. Something different than what I usually play for hours on your site.

Thanks, Tysondarty – and hopefully you'll get that trip to Hawaii!
