$25 logo contest for 99k.com (Casino & Gaming site)

I’m looking to have a logo designed for the following Name:
99k.com
With the following slogan:
Casino & Gaming Guide

Prize: $25 paid to the winner (Via Paypal)

Contest end Date: Wednesday at 20:00 GMT.

I'd like the design to look classy and professional, but it must also be funky and fresh. So i'm pretty open at this point as i've got no set ideas in mind.
But I do want to be able to read the domain name very easily (letters must be clear.) 99k.com
I realise it’s a bit vague, but once I’ve seen a few designs I’ll have a better feel for what I’m after.
I’m not sure about emblems but it would be nice to see some logos with these built in as well.
I have a site Namecake.com and I like what the designer did with the emblem there – this is just an example and I’m not looking to have it copied, but I think the design is professional and pretty good.

The site will be an information resource centre with articles and information on casinos, Bingo, poker, fruit machines – basically a gambling site.

Thanks, I look forward to seeing your designs. I will give regular feedback.

 

Here is my idea on a white and black background

 

a4hire - i can't see anything.

PLease post your entries as i'm looking to have this logo ASAP

 

Feedback apreciated.

 

This was in my mind:

 

my entry and will send another one in couple of minutes

 

my new image or another entry

 

My try:

 

Can you still not see my entries ? I can see them but they might not be showing up for you. A few people have told me before they cant see the image that I posted, ? I may have to host the image somewhere else.

 

Thanks for your entries.
Okay here is some feedback:

Anidesign – I like it – nice and simple, but there is a charm to it as well, I’d like to see it with the .com added. I feel it also needs to be jazzed up a little if it’s to compete with some of the other designs.

BrkyB – thanks for the entry, but the design isn’t what I’m looking for.

Papacha – not what I’m after – it’s very difficult to see the domain name. The second entry is better, but still there’s too much going on.

A-Q – I love it, I’d like to see it with the .com a bit bigger, but otherwise I have no suggestions.

Creations4You – nice design, funky and clear – I’m not sure about the .com though.

Aforhire – I still can’t see your design.

Thanks for all your entries and please keep them coming, 48 hours to go.

I’m running 5 competitions at present, please see below for details of them all:

Hello,
here's my try:

 

Heres my go at it...

 

Okay – time for an update:

Creations4you – I like it. A nice professional looking design.

Graphicband – it’s creative, but sadly not what I’m looking for.

Seni – again, they are creative, but just not right for the site.

Jcprseven – sadly it’s not what I’m looking for.

Please keep the entries coming. 24 hrs to go.

 

my try - 2

 

my try 2 in black

 

graphicband - i love the dice in the first one - but i'm not too sure on how you've done the domain name. This is definately on the right track though.
I don't like the black version.
