Preface: Amazon Casino is a casino style arcade where you can
enjoy your favorite casino activities without leaving home; just
get our tokens (which we call "Chips") and play your
favorite casino games from home. We've got poker, blackjack,
slots and so much more. Additionally, you can participate in our
sweepstakes and win cash prizes based on the number of Chips you
collect. Participation in the sweepstakes is optional and
totally free. The official rules and regulations are contained
below.

100:5; 3 numbers @ 1000:2. Poker: First hand 7.69:1. Roulette:

be based on the amount of Chips a Player possesses. Players may
receive US $1.00 for each 1.00 Chips possessed. For example, if
player has 146.78 Chips in his/her account, Player wins a Prize
amount of US $146.78 provided that he/she entered the
sweepstakes. Company may report and/or withhold any amount from
any Prize as required by law. Any federal, state and local taxes
