built 651 days ago
A further validation of family game sites is the purchase of Gamesville (www.gamesville.com) by Lycos last November. Gamesville, proudly "wasting your time since 1996," basically shares part of its advertising revenues through prizes, over $90,000 per month. As of May 2000, counters on the Gamesville home page showed $1.2 million in cash prizes won, 4 million members, and 1.3 billion "total minutes wasted." The Gamesville attractions include Bingo, Sports (Office pools), Cards (Poker, Blackjack), Showbizville (Sweepstakes, Trivia Games), Quick Cash (Slots), and Classics (with no prizes). Besides chat for public and private messages, Gamesville ... provides a handy "Boss" Panic Button to quickly display a new window with business-looking content.
