GIBRALTAR, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- 888ladies.com, the award winning online bingo company, will be giving away two VIP luxury cruise cabins for the 21st annual World Championship Bingo Tournament & Gaming Cruise.

The bingo cruise is due to set sail from the Port of Los Angeles on November 1st 2009, and the highlight on board is the annual World Championship Bingo Tournament where players have a chance of winning a $100,000 jackpot as well as securing a ticket for next year's cruise.

Each 888ladies cruise winner will get a VIP cabin aboard the 'Carnival Splendor' cruise liner for eight days, as well as return flights from London to the US.

The cruise stops include the Mexican ports of Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas, and they'll be plenty of opportunity for players on board to participate in many more bingo games with cash prizes!

There are two ways 888ladies players can qualify for this amazing cruise.

Firstly, 888ladies players can win free cards for a 75-bingo game taking place Sunday August 23 by participating in at least 50 online bingo games between June 18 and August 17. This will be achieved by them accumulating as many Sombrero Points as possible:

    --  Every 5pence wagered on a 75-ball game - 15 Sombrero Points    --  Every 5pence wagered on a 90-ball game - 15 Sombrero Points    --  Every GBP 20 wagered on any of the instant games - 15 Sombrero Points.    --  For every friend referred to 888ladies - 50 Sombrero Points.    --  Email us a photo of yourself - 100 Sombrero Points.    --  Every 1,000 LPs earned during the promotion period are equal to 15        Sombrero Points.

The top 75 Sombrero Points earners will get 6 free bingo cards and enter a 75-bingo game taking place Sunday August 23.

The 75-ball game is the most popular form of bingo in North America, bringing the familiar letters-and-numbers approach to the game. On 75-ball bingo cards, five columns of five numbers each are headed by the letters B, I, N, G and O.

The second way of winning a VIP cabin is being kept secret. Anyone interested in seeing the details when they are released should stay tuned to find out how to win it. Don't stop playing and collecting Sombrero points after the first cabin has been won - they will be needed to win cabin #2 on August 30!
