Distinguishing Personality Traits

Jerseytude says, "Misty is our black and silver Miniature Schnauzer.  She is the definition of the word "cuddle-bug"--always wanting to be near Mommy and Daddy.  Since Mommy works she has become Daddy's little girl.  Misty lives in the country and was trained to come immediately when called.  When you call her she quickly turns and hightails it for the back door, almost like you stuck her with a pin!  She's also been trained never to jump on anyone, so she will stand in front of you on her hind legs with her front paws crossed waiting to be acknowledged.  I can go on and on about her attributes, but hopefully you will see her adorableness in the picture."

Another hearty "Congratulations!" is in order--this time, to Gamesviller FSU1bud who became our second lucky winner this week in CatchUp CoverAll and took home $217 in free cash! As you may recall, Victoria_s0 became our first winner on Monday and since then the hits just keep on coming with a HUGE payout to FerriGil48 yesterday in Magic 21. That's three Gamesville payouts in one week, not to mention all the daily winners we have in Frantic Fish, Pit Stop Slots, and the GV Gold Instant Win game!

As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot and get in on the coverall bingo action today!

We're officially kicking off the holiday season at Gamesville today with the return of a perennial holiday favorite, Frantic Fish: Holiday Edition!

Pour yourself a warm cup of cocoa, snuggle up inside a warm blanket, and start matching those virtual fish before they freeze! Brrrrr...

(No fish were harmed in the posting of this blog entry.)

Enjoy our Holiday Edition of Frantic Fish today!

Congratulations to Gamesviller Ferrigil48 from Andover, MA who hit it big today while playing Magic 21 and scored over $4,000 in free cash (four thousand and ninety-four dollars US, to be precise).

Useless Fact!

For many years Andover was geographically one of the largest towns in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In 1854, a measure was passed to divide the town into two separate political units according to the existing church boundaries. The name Andover was assumed by the more populous and wealthy West and South parishes, while the name North Andover was given to the North Parish. Find out more about Andover, MA...

Congratulations to Victoria_s0 who became the first CatchUp CoverAll winner since its triumphant return last Thursday! Lucky Victoria took home $209 yesterday, December 7. She is the first of many to come, so if you haven't done so already, experience the fastest online coverall bingo game today!

We're thrilled that everyone is pleased with the new coverall bingo game and wanted to take a minute to share some of the comments fellow Gamesvillers have left us about their first impressions of CatchUp CoverAll:

"LOL the original catch up got me hooked on Gamesville 10 years ago.  This new version is even better." -Kam1212

"I just love the Catchup Coverup Bingo.  It's fast pace & really fun to play.  Thank you for another truly fun game." -Alady40

"The more I play the coverall game, the more I like it. Are there any statistics re gamesville being listed as grounds for divorce? Lol." -Centericelady

Distinguishing Personality Traits

Janice05ph says, "This is my 6-month-old puppy Talia. She is very feisty and friendly. She learns new tricks very quickly--she knows all of the basic commands by now: fetch, sit, lay down, shake, dance, roll over, stay and even play the piano! I have her for a only a month and a half and guess what? I love her more than I love my hubby. LOL"
