One Small Step…in a Space Simulator

2006 September 22, Jonny Vincent

The River Belle online casinos have had their promotional departments working feverishly of late to come up with new, unique promotions. August saw the four River Belle online casinos give away a $60,000 Chopper motorcycle and this month, each casino is throwing a $6,000 party for a lucky winner. But the winner of the latest River Belle online casino promotion will be over the moon – well, not quite.

River Belle plans to sponsor the Orbital Commerce Project (OCP) 2006 Spaceflight Tour and two lucky winners will win a space flight training course. Each training course is valued at $300,000!

The days of commercial space flights may not be far off, but in the meantime, River Belle plans to give people a preview. The OCP mobile space simulator will tour the US air show circuit, allowing visitors over the age of 21 to experience a free 3-minute flight simulation. The free flight simulations are sure to be a massive hit at air shows across the country and visitors to the OCP 2006 Spaceflight Tour can register for a drawing to win a $300,000 Orbital Training Course. Visitors who register and play on a River Belle online casino will be entered into a second prize draw to win another $300,000 Orbital Training Course.

The mobile space flight simulator is a 27-foot, self-contained trailer containing two high fidelity, non-motion, rocket powered aircraft simulators. Visitors will be able to experience the real thing as they step into a complete cockpit mock-up and the subsequent realistic simulation. Assistance will be provided by the simulator control officer if needed.

The OCP mobile flight simulator is scheduled to appear at the following air shows:

• September 23-24 – Wings & Wheels 2006, Birmingham, Alabama
• September 30 – Prescott Air Fair, Prescott, Arizona
• October 7-8 – Fleet Week San Francisco 2006, San Francisco, California
• October 20-21 – X-Prize Cup, Las Cruces, New Mexico
• October 27-29 – NAS Jacksonville Air Show, Jacksonville, Florida

Tim Johnson, Chairman of Carmen Media Group (owner of Belle Rock Entertainment), stated: "The exhilaration of experiencing a flight into space is one of a kind, so we simply could not pass up the opportunity to sponsor the 2006 Orbital Commerce Project Spaceflight Tour and even give our players the chance to participate in a full training course."

Ed note: You'll be over the moon with the 200% bonus at Belle Rock's River Belle Casino - if you deposit $55, you'll play with $165!
