    I just read about Golden Palace sponsoring the xprize. That is pretty awesome to say the least. For anyone who hasn’t received the press release here it is:

    Internet Casino Boldly Goes Where No Casino Has Gone Before

    GoldenPalace.com Streaks into Space with Ansari X Prize Competition

    TORONTO, CANADA, AUGUST 5, 2004 – In another first for the online
    casino industry, gaming site GoldenPalace.com will boldly go where
    no casino has gone before with the GoldenPalace.com Space Program:
    Powered by The da Vinci Project (http://www.davinciproject.com).

    This will be the Canadian entry in the Ansari X Prize $10,000,000
    competition for the first team to privately finance, build, and
    launch a spaceship carrying three people to a 100 kilometer altitude
    (62.5 miles), return safely to Earth, and repeat the launch with the
    same ship within 2 weeks. The casino’s brand will also appear on the
    ship itself-the Wild Fire-during its historic flight to the very
    edge of Space and into the history books. The Ansari X Prize is
    intended to promote the Space tourism industry through competition
    among the most talented entrepreneurs and rocket experts in the
    world.

    “This is a momentous occasion that will really place
    GoldenPalace.com on the world stage,” said GoldenPalace.com founder
    and CEO Richard Rowe. “This will go down in history as one of the
    key moments in humankind’s race to Space. Years from now, children
    will be learning about this event in school along with the moon
    landing.”

    Just as the building of the city of Las Vegas turned the Nevada
    desert into a city of lights, GoldenPalace.com hopes to do the same
    in the final frontier just as they pioneered the online casino
    industry in 1997. Team leader and pilot Brian Feeney will be
    bringing a laptop along for the ride in order for his team to enjoy
    the GoldenPalace.com casino games on their trip to sub-orbital
    Space.

    “As this technology progresses, we want to set up junkets so players
    can enjoy our games from high above the Earth,” said Rowe. “We are
    going to be the first casino to visit Space; we also want to be the
    first casino IN Space. Then you’ll really see some casino action
    that is out of this world.”

    For the GoldenPalace.com Space Program: Powered By The da Vinci
    Project, this is a classic David and Goliath match-up as their main
    competition for the prize is Microsoft co-founder and billionaire
    Paul Allen’s Scaled Composites team. Although the GoldenPalace.com
    project is on a smaller scale than Allen’s multi-million dollar
    investment, they believe that Feeney and his dedicated group of over
    600 specialized volunteers have the ability to win this historic
    competition. GoldenPalace.com is extremely proud and excited to be a
    part of the evolution of spaceflight, and believe this will be
    something that will be talked about for years to come.

    “Brian has an exceptional team working for him and I have every
    confidence in this project and the successful flight of the Wild
    Fire,” said Rowe. “From a marketing perspective, this is an
    incredible opportunity for us but it is also a way to give something
    back to the hundreds of volunteers that have worked so hard and
    committed 150,000 hours to make this dream a reality. Their
    determination, perseverance, and innovative thinking have raised the
    bar in the pursuit of progress, and we are proud to be a part of a
    team that’s moving forward. Regardless of which team wins this
    competition, the benefits to the human race will be considerable as
    we move another step closer to viable commercial spaceflight. We
    would like to thank Brian and his team, and wish Godspeed to the
    Wild Fire crew.”

    Although the rules of the competition state that a three passenger
    load is required for the flight, GoldenPalace.com also plans for a
    stowaway to make the trip. The casino recently made headlines when
    they purchased the “Beckham Ball” on eBay from the ecstatic fan that
    caught the ball during the Euro 2004 match. The ball that superstar
    David Beckham sent sailing over the net to dash England’s hopes of
    victory will now sail higher than anyone expected, streaking into
    space.

    “This is one of The Ball’s stops on a world tour to raise money for
    charity,” said Rowe. “We will be setting up promotional events so
    that people will get to participate in penalty shoot-out style
    competitions using The Ball. Now they will also be using the first
    football to have been in Space.”

    “It’s important to us to always be on the cutting edge, whether in
    casino gaming, marketing, or technology,” said Rowe. “I believe
    future generations will consider the GoldenPalace.com Space Program:
    Powered by The da Vinci Project to be akin to the founding of Las
    Vegas. This truly is a historical event and we are proud to help
    make it happen. Maybe sometime in the future we’ll even find a way
    to make history with the first streaker in Space wearing a
    GoldenPalace.com tattoo.”

    The launch of the Wild Fire is scheduled for October 2, 2004; the
    world will be watching.

    hahah that was funny. It’s simply marketing in order to get the name of the casino known.
    That allows you and us to get a higher click thru rate; when people search for casino they’ll hopefully remember the Goldenpalace brand.
