Casino TV Ads Under Investigation

Casino TV Ads Under Investigation

A San Diego county casino was recently citied for deceptive advertising. A TV ad showed some beautiful, excited young ladies standing around a card table in front of slot machines, jumping for joy with a lot of money. Investigators scoured several casinos to find what they had viewed on the television, but as a rule found only dour older women sitting on a stool pushing quarters into a noisy machine as fast as they could. Upon being informed of this finding, the casino in question decided to do something about the veracity of their advertising to avoid the wrath of the authorities. In order to produce the glee of a young woman jumping up and down after winning, the casino is introducing the card game of “Spoons” to achieve the desired effect. The investigators acknowledged that the casino’s changes to their format will undoubtedly produce reactions comparable to the TV ads and that the case is now closed.
