FNB has launched a Super Mario Brother<\/span> “Kruger Gold Rush<\/a>” online game on Facebook.<\/p>\n

In the game you play Mario<\/span> Paul Kruger, who is tasked with collecting gold coins<\/span> collecting Krugerrand coins and completing the current level before the time limit runs out.<\/p>\n

Did I mention the plumbing pipes<\/span> mine shafts you can go down to collect extra Krugerrands?<\/p>\n

Shameless Super Mario Bros clone aside, the game is fairly basic yet pretty addictive at the same time, and is about as entertaining as a Facebook game can be.<\/p>\n

The real kicker though: each week the person sitting at the top of the leader board wins a real Krugerrand (its solid gold and worth a lot of money).<\/p>\n

The competition will run for 6 weeks, with week one being a dedicated practise week before things get serious.<\/p>\n

Week two begins on October 10, with the final week concluding on November 11.<\/p>\n

The prize denominations for each week are:<\/p>\n

•    Week 2 = 1\/10 ounce
•    Week 3  = ¼ ounce
•    Week 4 = ½ ounce
•    Week 5 = 1 full ounce
•    Week 6 = 2 x 1full ounce<\/p>\n

To put things into perspective, at the time of publication a full ounce Krugerrand retails for over R14,400.00 on the FNB online banking website.<\/p>\n

Now who says gaming doesn’t pay?<\/p>\n
