Golden Palace Makes Olympic Debut

The online casino Golden Palace, well known for its publicity stunts, made an appearance today at the Olympics in Athens. A man, dressed in a blue tutu and Golden Palace written on his chest climbed a diving board during the men’s synchronized diving event and stood there a for a minute before jumping into the pool. Needless to say, he was descended upon by police.

The man, Ron Bensimhon of Montreal has done stunts like this before for Golden Palace but this time the online casino says Bensimhon was acting on his own. Right. Anyway, Golden Palace got some free publicity out of it. Thanks to Charley Brough for the tip.
