Find your golden egg at Casino Tropez

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Headlines these days are dominated by news of the global recession, which shows little sign of improvement despite the staggering amount of money pumped into the economy by the Obama administration. Many people are having to deal with the hard reality of pay-cuts and layoffs, and as Easter draws near it appears that holiday celebrations will not be very golden this year.

Amid this financial climate of frugal spending and justified hesitation over how and where to invest, online gaming seems to be less affected and still thrives. As an industry, it has the added value of low overhead costs and an eagerness to encourage light punters, with higher payout amounts than those in Vegas!

Award-winning Casino Tropez is a fully licensed online casino that has been in operation since 2000, and is the flagship brand for the Playtech group. (Traded under PTEC on the LSE.)

Between April 9-12 Casino Tropez will be giving members a chance to receive unlimited bonuses on all deposits made. A special scavenger hunt has also been set up, with extra bonuses awarded to those who find a golden egg.

As an added treat, Casino Tropez has teamed up with the online gaming specialists, Elite Challenge, to create a live tournament taking place Easter weekend. By playing any Video Poker game during the promotional period, players are automatically entered into the live tournament, which has an $8,000 prize total.

Casino Manager, Renee Pascale commented, "The current global financial situation has forced many people to curb their spending habits, and that includes social spending". Renee continued, "However, with websites such as Facebook and Twitter having become central socializing platforms, we recognize that we too can offer a more social aspect to online gambing through our Chat feature."
