Playboy Online and GalaxiWorld went live this week with their joint effort, Playboy Play 4 Fun Casino. The new site, which offers 28 casino games, including slots, video poker, black jack and roulette, does not accept real money wagers.
All games are Java-enhanced. Additional games are in development, and will be added throughout the year. Visitors receive $1,000 of "fun" money with which to play the games. Registered players can replenish their virtual bank account at any time. The site also
provides rules for each game and allows regular players to review the results of their two most-recent games.
Playboy also plans to use the Playboy Play 4 Fun Casino to promote its physical casino gaming properties. The company re-entered the gaming business earlier this month with the opening of the Playboy Casino at Hotel des Roses on the Greek island of Rhodes, and is aggressively pursuing other casino gaming opportunities.
