Contradicting the old proverb that to be lucky in cards is to be unlucky in love, cupid-playing online poker provider Purple Lounge has introduced an amorous new game befitting the seasonal spirit.

With a romantic ring to its name, the Two Hearts Hand Promotion challenges you to win $20 on any $1/$2 or higher table played between February 1st and Valentines Day itself. If you are able to couple the King and Queen of Hearts in the cards you are dealt, and these are your hole cards, you win. It's that simple. What's more, for the multiple romancer, there is no limit to the number of times you can claim this prize during the promotional period as long as you meet the criteria for the promotion. A complete list of the terms and conditions for this promotion, together with other offers, can be found on the Purple Lounge site, www.purple-lounge.com.

Devotees of the star-studded poker site have been privy to a wealth of promotions, bonuses and prizes since its launch in August from cash to luxury items. Indeed, current top offers alongside the Two Hearts Hand Promotion include a $1000 match deposit bonus, Bentley Continental GT, a $3 free bonus, and four VIP all inclusive tickets to the much anticipated FIFA World Cup 2006 final in Berlin.

“Poker is a game that it is easy to feel passionate about, you experience giddy highs and lows, butterflies of suspense and anticipation, with many a starry eye in the room,” purred Tara, the exotic cyber face of the company. “Many purple lounge members are not only passionate poker players but also die hard romantics, with tantalising player Laura Prepon, and high rollers like Mason Davies renowned for their fire for both. It is players like this that we welcome at Purple Lounge; ardent players in poker and love who revel in the high rolls and the thrill of the chase. That is what the Two Hearts Hand Promotion, and indeed all our prizes, offer. Our clientele are sophisticated poker players, who play for real rewards and we provide them with the returns befitting their stature, while Valentines Day offers us a pleasurable opportunity to play cupid ­ you never know who you may meet over the poker table…”

Once more, Purple Lounge gives you something new to feel passionate about this Valentine's.
