International
Celebrities to be a Big Part of WSOP 2006
Online casino marketing
companies have found the benefits of including celebrities to
their marketing list. Stars such as Dennis Rodman have been seen
connected to major online casinos and it seems that bringing in
celebrities for marketing purposes has done well for many online
casinos. Poker has realized the benefit of this and added Brian
McFadden to the list of poker celebrities that will be attending
the World Series of Poker 2006. Brian McFadden is turning semi
professional and will be a big hit in the championship that is
said to be the biggest event in poker's history. The WSOP takes
place every year but because of the popularity of poker, this
year is said to be the strongest. Many people are gaming in
online casinos not for the bonuses they offer but for the chance
to enter the WSOP.
Celebrities have joined the poker world with such things as the
music awards that took place in Las Vegas. It seems that there
is more room for celebrities in land based casino marketing then
in online casinos marketing but the WSOP's connection this year
to online casinos may change that. Las Vegas has always known
the benefit of using celebrities to get people coming to the
WSOP and this year is no exception. The WSOP is being held in
the Reno Casino in Las Vegas this year and thousands of tickets
have been sold for the event. Brian McFadden has definitely
attracted people to come as he is a much known signer selling
millions of copies of his solo album and you may know him as
part of the boy band West Life.
Online casinos have also been said to bid and try to win Mr.
McFadden over to represent their specific online casinos but as
of right now this singer only wants to be part of the WSOP.
Online casinos have also been said to have asked Pamela Anderson
and many models from Victoria Secret to act as promoters of
their online casinos but as of right now none of these
celebrities have agreed. Dennis Rodman of course has done his
thing with online casinos for quite some time and people are
curious who the next controversial celebrity will be to
represent online casinos. The use of celebrities in online
casinos can generate this already huge business into something
even bigger. Online casinos are notorious for using huge
marketing and people everywhere are excited to see what online
casino will do next.
The interest in marketing that online casinos have is the fact
that it has done so much for the online casinos that have been
using it since they were established. The financial benefits of
such a thing are huge in numbers and people have obviously
responded to celebrity advertising in different industries.
Statistics will show what it has meant for the different units
of the gaming industry including casino, poker and bingo as well
as sports betting.
