Part of the attraction of gambling, both in online and offline casinos is the dream of making a big win. Casinoman.net is probably the most complete online and is full of advice on where to gamble, how to keep gambling fun, how to keep online gambling safe and providing you with news and reviews of the exciting activities and products that are available to you should you make it big.

One of the most popular dreams, especially during these hard economic times is the lure of the open ocean. Casinoman.net is home to reviews of some of the grandest and most exotic sailing and motor yachts available through brokers throughout the world. Sometimes, however, we get word that a true icon of a super yacht is available, in this instance the seminal Wally Yacht “Mr Gecko” is up for sale, and at an extremely reasonable sum too.

Wally yachts are famous for their forward thinking and groundbreaking designs. Based in Monte Carlo, the spiritual home of European Casinos and favourite haunt of the glitterati, Wally Yachts revolutionised the super yacht market in 1990 with the Launch of “Mr Gecko” and have continued to revolutionise the field with each new vessel. Mr Gecko, the original groundbreaking vessel from Wally is available for a new owner to purchase. Originally named the “Wallygator” the 83 foot fast sloop was instrumental in catapulting the Wally design team to fame. Launched in 1990 “Mr Gecko” looked from all external angles like a stripped back racing 12m. Her profile features an almost clean swept deck enhancing a flat sheerline, the low profile deckhouse almost invisible from windward. Built long before ‘surfboard’ race designs became popular in cruising yachts, Mr Gecko’s wide beam and modified bilge curve increased this racy impression that is only dispelled as one steps aboard, to be confronted by a wide cockpit edged by comfortable sofas, a wide matted sunbathing area and the first flush deck designed super yacht.  Mr Gecko was the original vessel equipped with innovations aimed at reducing the crew requirements of such a large yacht, with a self tacking Jib and simplified running rigging making the vessel’s handling requirements far more like a yacht designed to be cruised comfortably by a family. However the yacht is designed very much with the practical requirements of the crew in mind, their quarters are aft, within easy reach of the cockpit, while the owner and guest cabins are forward where a good night’s sleep will not be disturbed by crew working in the cockpit.

Mr Gecko has just been re-fitted by her current owner at a cost of $4 million. With a new rig, new paint, new decks and a total interior modernisation combined with her (for the time) revolutionary design she is now looking as fresh as any vessel launched yesterday, but with a hull that is well proven and with any kinks ironed out, no new build nightmares here. In this tip top condition Mr Gecko is available for only $2 million and with her history and pedigree this must be the super yacht bargain of the century.

As a dream to aim for there are few real opportunities like this available today. While the majority of us will not find their online gambling pleasure returning such rewards, the fun and thrill of gambling in off and online casinos can be reward enough.
