New high-stakes gambling lounge opens online

The UK-based online casino Sky Vegas has announced the opening of a new high-stakes lounge area where gamblers who want to bet a bit bigger than the average player can try their hand at various games.

The new high stakes lounge is launching with several different choices of card games and online slots, including three-card poker, blackjack, baccarat, roulette, and Sic Bo, a Chinese dice game that allows players to bet on specific sequences of numbers. Typical bets in the new lounge will range from 5 to 5,000 pounds.

The high stakes lounge will also include new slot games, including Rainbow Riches, an Irish-themed machine. The game features a bonus round that allows players to multiply their winnings if they match leprechaun symbols.

"The high stakes lounge offers a slightly more serious format of game play to our seasoned players who want the opportunity to win big," said a spokesman for the online casino. "We currently have eight exciting, varied games for our customers to try. Whether you are into blackjack, poker or slot games, there is something in the lounge that will appeal to your taste in online casino gaming."
