LOUIS, Mississippi -- (PRESS RELEASE) -– It was a wild and fun-filled weekend at Hollywood Casino Bay St. Louis as four lucky players won brand new 2008 Mercedes-Benz sedans given away over three days. Another 20 lucky players won $500 in Star Play consolation prizes. The Mercedes luxury cars and Star Play were awarded to six players in four separate shows. "This place was lit up with excitement all weekend long as we gave the fourth car away yesterday," said Senior Director of Marketing Jeffrey Sabree.

Rita Rabalais of Carriere, MS, won a silver Mercedes during the day and Lauretha Garrett of Abita Springs, LA, won a beautiful black Mercedes Saturday evening. Tamara Reed of Baton Rouge, LA, won the fourth, charcoal grey, Mercedes-Benz given away in Sunday's drawing.
