Vienna, Austria, May 21, 2001- Lady Luck smiled upon Thomas Mayerbach when his name was picked from thousands of registered Casino Filipino Online users to receive a Ferrari Modena 360, sports car. Last week, after more than 5 months of waiting Mr. Mayerbach could finally get behind the wheel of his brand new car.

Casino Filipino Online gave away the most valuable promotional gift in online gambling history.

"I was never a heavy gambler. I like to play, but I never won anything big and cyber casino playing was very new to me", told us Mr. Mayerbach a 34 year old general contractor from Vienna. He signed up to play at Casino Filipino Online last October. It was his first attempt at gambling online. "I saw the advertisement on a German video game site and I said to myself, why not?", added Mr. Mayerbach. He deposited $50 and played mostly roulette and blackjack at Casino Filipino Online. He won a small amount and returned occasionally to play last winter.

Going from 0 to 100 in 4.6 seconds

When he first heard the news about the Ferrari drawing he thought it was a prank phone call and almost hung up the phone. He couldn't believe what he heard. To this day he still has difficulties comprehending that he is the proud owner of a car that he could only admire from a distance as a child.

He told us that he'll keep his Volvo S40 as his "weekday car" and reserves the Ferrari that goes from 0 to 180 in 9 seconds for special trips and for nights out. He's planning to drive his dream car to Frankfurt on Germany's adrenaline charged autobahns later this month. "I'm looking forward to this trip. It should be fun", concluded the proud winner.

Casino Filipino Online's grand prize is the largest promotional gift ever given to an online casino user. Casino Filipino Online has been in business since June 2000. They're holding another Ferrari 360 drawing in January 2002.
