People really do win at online casinos -- and not just cash. Kevin and Eric, two online players at Kiwi Casino, recently won a one-week adventure travel package to Queenstown, New Zealand. The prize package consisted of air, hotel, and an adventure tour that included bungy jumping and jet boating.

When Kiwi Casino manager Paul Russell interviewed the winners, Kevin confessed that at first he didn't believe he'd won anything. Eric added, "I couldn't believe it. It just didn't sound real.

"I was sure there were going to be some strings attached ... but there weren't. I didn't actually believe I was going until I got on the flight leaving L.A."

But as reality sank in, Kevin and Eric became excited about visiting a new country. And they didn't just admire the scenery; Kevin and Eric also checked out the land casinos. Eric managed to win NZ$600 by the end of the trip, but he also had a bit of bad luck at roulette.

Eric decided to imitate a Japanese tourist next to him at the roulette table, and covered all the numbers - but he accidentally missed the 13. Kevin gleefully recalled that after the dealer called "No more bets," Eric realized his mistake and shouted in dismay "Thirteen's not covered!!!"

And guess where the ball landed about 10 seconds later? That's right, number 13. Says Kevin, "The look on Eric's face was absolutely priceless!"

New Zealand made such an impression on the players that they're already planning to return for a longer holiday with their families, in spite of the loss at the roulette table. "It's amazing!" enthused Eric. "It's so beautiful here! There's been something new to do every day. I've already talked to my family about possibly coming back for Christmas so we could enjoy the nice summer weather at a beach resort!"
