It seems that an Olympic fan wasn’t satisfied with the sports performances of the numerous athletes that came to Turin, Italy, to compete in the 20th Olympic Winter Games. During Sunday’s closing ceremony, in a shocking security breach, a fan got on stage and stole the show. Wearing a black T-shirt with an online casino logo emblazoned on it, he walked up to the microphone during a speech by Organizing Committee Chief Valentino Castellani and shouted, ‘Passion Lives in Torino’, the slogan of the games. Online casino and land-based Olympic fans were definitely shocked by this brazen action.
How did he manage to get past security? Police said that the fan had a Turin staff jacket which allowed him to blend in with volunteers and workers near the stage. When situations like these occur, spectators only register what has happened after the fact. This creates a very strong affect. And the online casino on his shirt definitely received some good advertising and name recognition. Which online casino was it? Only viewers who saw the closing ceremony can say.
The fan showed all online casino sites out there how to get their names across the global community. This angle might be used by some in the near future. Online casino sites are always trying to find new and interesting ways to advertise themselves. This is definitely one good way. Maybe we’ll be seeing the name of a famous online casino on someone’s t-shirt very soon.
