InventHelp’s Invention Girl attended a Casino Night event recently where participants were given $1,000 in play chips and let loose on the tables. The person with the highest chip count was promised a great, top-secret door prize. Your favorite InventHelp diva got lucky at the Black Jack tables and ended up with the largest tally.

The grand prize? A Nintendo Wii®! I ran up onto that stage like I was winning an Academy Award and held the Wii high above my head. InventHelp’s Invention Girl was never so excited to win a prize before.

I love that the Wii gets you off the couch and moving. Although the Wii does come with the sports package, I wanted to get something that’ll get the whole body involved in fun and fitness. The Wii Fit is the perfect, well, fit. It has yoga, balance games, strengths training and aerobics. The special Wii Balance Board reads your movements and brings them to life on the screen. These are in extremely high demand, and thus far I’ve struck out on finding one.

Next on the list for InventHelp’s Invention Girl is a blast from the past, Mario Kart®. Wii’s version features a little white wheel that you use to steer Mario past obstacles and villains through rough terrain. The first time I played this, I drove poor Mario off a cliff more times than I can count, so I’ve got to get better quickly.

Finally, to feed my inner rock star, I’m picking up Rock Band, which was just released on Wii in late June. The Wii bundle includes the game, drums, microphone and a wireless guitar. Included are more than 60 songs that my friends and I will make our own. I hope that my neighbors have thick windows!
