PARADISE POKER WSOP MARKETING BACKFIRES
Casino Hotel management less than happy at CD intrusion
Reports from the Las Vegas based Rio hotel, where this year's World Series of Poker championships have attracted a large following are that hotel management have been less than impressed with a rather clumsy, if not irresponsible marketing effort by Paradise Poker.
Apparently a person or persons unknown but presumably deployed by the poker site slipped unwrapped CD's of the companys poker software under the doors of hotel guests, perhaps hoping to drum up business.
Regrettably, the hotel was apparently not consulted first, and the "posting" was not done in a discriminating way.
InfoPowa and Online-Casinos.com asked Paradise Poker for a comment on this story but after three days there had been no comment as we went to press.
