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.
