Cruise slots tournament offers $100,000 in prizes on Carnival

Three preliminary casino slot tournaments, and one grand final event, have been announced for 2006 by Carnival's Ocean Player's Club, with total cash and prizes (including free cruises!) exceeding $100,000. Of that amount, $25,000 goes to the grand prize winner on the final cruise.

The preliminary tournaments will be held on several ships: the already sold-out Carnival Conquest's March 5-12 voyage from Galveston, Carnival Pride's May 14-21 cruise from Long Beach, Calif., and Carnival Legend's Sept. 9-17 cruise from New York. A "Grand Final Event" tournament will take place on the Carnival Victory's Nov. 12-19 voyage from Miami.
