Golden Palace Online Casino Goes to the Slammer
8 November 2005

Golden Palace online casino, known for its many outrageous public marketing stunts, is always on the move and trying new marketing schemes in order to attract the attention of the public. So far the company has done really well with their goal, and has acquired a number of unique and interesting souvenirs including purchasing the rights to baby names, and purchasing the rights to name a new monkey species as well as a new lily.

Now Golden Palace has gone and raised the bar even further by going to jail. This wildly popular and eccentric online casino has recently made the effort of sponsoring the Angola Prison Rodeo, which happens to be the longest running prison rodeos in America. The Angola Prison Rodeo has been a staple of the Louisiana area since 1965, and is still considered to be one of the most popular rodeo events in the U.S.

Naturally, Golden Palace decided that they would add their own personal touch to the event by having some of the animals tattooed with their website address, as well as a “last-man-sitting poker game” going on right in the middle of the rodeo ring. The way it worked was 4 inmates were seated at the makeshift poker table, during which time a bull was released into the ring. The last poker player that ran for his life won $1 thousand dollars.

The proceeds that were raised from the Angola Prison Rodeo covered the expenses of the event and all the extra funds went to the Louisiana State Penitentiary Inmate Welfare Fund, which is a charitable service that provides inmates with supplies for both education and recreational purposes.
