ONLINE CASINO SHEDS FURTHER LIGHT ON MPs EXPENSES SCANDAL Beleaguered MPs and the expenses scandal has literally been put under the spotlight ahead of any general election announcement. On-line casino operator 888.com lit up the Houses of Parliament to highlight an opportunity to win £8,888,888 — offering ‘hard-up’ MPs the chance to replace their expenses shortfall. The projection, drawing attention to the biggest ever on-line slots jackpot, made reference to the expense gravy train ending and highlighted the chance to take three free spins at the staggering payout from 888.com’s new Pirates’ Millions game. The strapline, which read “Missing the expenses jackpot?” could be seen across London and Itai Pazner, Senior Vice President COO 888.com said the projection was done with humour in mind. He said: “We wanted the biggest ever online jackpot to really capture people’s imagination so we made it possible for everyone to have a chance of winning without having to pay a penny. “We were talking about how much you could do with the money in the current climate and somebody joked that it would come in handy for MPs to replace their second home allowances and we liked that idea. “The beauty is that they everyone who visits the site will be allowed 3 free spins the first time they play the game, without having to deposit any money or enter card details so they wouldn’t even have to claim their stake back! “This game will offer the unique opportunity for someone to become a millionaire without paying a penny, and we believe it will really appeal to everyone from on-line casino regulars to those who play the lottery or buy the odd scratchcard. “The three free spins sign up offer is not limited in terms of the number of people it is open to, and this campaign is designed to show people the game, get them to have a go and raise awareness of the staggering jackpot that is available. To take up the free spins people should visit http://www.888.com/freespins/en/acq.htm?sr=354822 ENDS Further information from Dan on 0121 355 3446 or by email on dan@haslimanntaylor.com
