J Wray & Nephew did it again - their annual media appreciation party was a smashing hit. The party themed, 'Casino Royale', held at the Acropolis Gaming Lounge, Loshusan Plaza, in Barbican, St. Andrew, went down Vegas style.

There was great music, food and giveaways. The Wray & Nephew team, in high spirits as usual, made everyone feel welcome. Each person received a cup of coins to try their luck at the various slot machines. Some were very lucky and walked away with large winnings. For the most part, both the seasoned gamblers and amateurs went home with a little change in their pockets. However, the high rollers in the house acquired quite a few bucks for the Christmas.

And for those with no luck at all, even after losing two complimentary cups of chips, still had the spot and gate prizes at the end of their rainbow.

The entire night was filled with high volts of energy and non-stop partying - they boogied down, drank, gambled and had a whale of a time.

Seen among the crowd were Winford Williams, Maya Chung, Dahlia Harris, Gillian Haughton, Simon Crosskill, Maurice Foster, Judith Alberga, Milton Walker, Kurline Brown, Marilyn Bennett, Christine Wood, Judith Douglas, Andrew Pryce, Anthony Bell, Samuel Henry, Wayne Lewis, Paul Henriques, Sharon Carvalho, Paul Hoo, David Morrison, André Chung, Fay Barnes, Jacqueline Irons, Michael Braham, David Walton, Nordia Gouboult, and many more.
