This is not news from the land-based casino
gambling industry, and it is not really news from the online casino gambling
industry either. Think of it as being more like news from the air-based
casino gambling industry. Joining the ranks of Virgin Airlines in some
ways (Virgin is set to offer a functioning casino on one of their luxury jumbo
jets), Bodog has been doing some flying of their own.
Bodog - the all-in-one online casino and gambling
site known for branding their unique gambling lifestyle signed a deal with Inter
Air Media to sponsor a fleet of Allegian Air airplanes back in April and it
looks like their advertising campaign has successfully come to a close.
In what has come to be similar to Southwest
Airlines promotion campaign for Sea World, in which several of their planes were
wrapped with giant Shamu banners. Allegiant's aircraft were wrapped in a
similar style, but with the characteristic red emblazing of Bodog. Going a
step further, the company placed brochures about their online casino, sportsbook
and poker room gambling business in the backs of passenger seats, and made
in-flight announcements about their services. Even the surfaces of tray
tables were covered with a blackjack table reminiscent of the Bodog online
casino.
The entire deal cost Bodog around half-a-million,
and was chiefly targeted on Allegiant planes flying out of Las Vegas McCarran
International Airport, which is where Allegiant bases their low-fare fleet out
of - offering service to thirty-two cities in the U.S.
