Description

Gamesville specializes multi-player online game shows (like TV game shows) that are free to play, give prizes to winners, and are supported by sponsors. However, unlike TV game shows--where only a handful of players play while the rest of the world watches--in Gamesville game shows, everyone plays. Proprietary games include Bingo Zone(r), Magic 21 Jackpot(tm), and Frantic Fish(r).
