Being able to predict the lottery would be a very handy skill to have.
I’m a fan of Ric Flair’s approach… “The Nature Boy” is the face of the North Carolina Education Lottery “Wooooo!” tickets. Mind you, there’s only one Ric Flair, and he keeps finding new ways to being paid good dollars for just being “The Man”. To be the man, you have to beat the man. Hulk Hogan (also involved in gaming via The Hulkamania Experience slot) will be looking to beat (and make a payday) Flair down under in Australia.
Flair by his own admission being a “wheeling, dealing, son of a gun” fits right in with the gambling and gaming crew, and he’s raising some great profile and monies in the process. Flair’s on a winner all the way to the bank, and hopefully all the way down to Australia.
PartyGaming via CryptoLogic have “The Incredible Hulk” online slot, thanks to the Marvel deal years ago, now Flair’s got the NC Lottery, so maybe Flair online bingo or an online slot machine may not be so much of a stretch. PartyGaming, Virgin Games, Sega, Google Games… any takers? Flair and Hogan are still widely recognised as “money in the bank”, and getting behind them would be a calculated risk, and traditional thinking would mean companies, brands and individuals associated with Hogan and Flair would likely do well out of it. Media companies are generally supportive of Flair and Hogan, just as a number of switched on traditional media companies are also adopting gaming and igaming into their business model.
As our friends at Virgin Games and PartyGaming advise, igaming and gaming may not be recession proof, but they certainly are recession resistant. I’m glad to be involved on the side of it that I am. We win every month!
