The double Emmy, Golden Globe and Saturn award-winning actor William Alan Shatner recently sold his kidney stone to Golden Palace. The price was way more science fiction than any of the Star Trek episodes Shatner ever participated in - a whopping $75,000.
Golden Palace is known for paying ridiculous amounts of money for all sorts of things. Below, you can watch a video about Shatner's kidney stone and read about other crazy promotional stunts by Golden Palace.
"God knows what they would pay for something else," Shatner ends the interview. Fortunately enough, we don't have to turn to god - Casino Guide already knows
Grilled Virgin Mary Sandwich
In 2004, a woman in Miami found a 10-year old sandwich - why she had a decade-old piece of bread the story doesn't revile though. Anyway, when she looked at the sandwich she saw that it looked a bit like Virgin Mary.
For some reason she thought somebody must be interested in buying this piece of bread, so she put it up on Ebay. The online casino GoldenPalace.com found out about this, entered the auction, and won the bidding. And although somebody had taken a bite out of the sandwich, the casino paid $28,000 for this piece of religious history.
Ten Grand Tattoo
A year later, Golden Palace made a new interesting promotional stunt. This also started with an Ebay auction in which Golden Palace bought the right to a woman's forehead. The winner of this auction was the single mother Karolyne Smith, and for $10,000, she agreed on tattooing the company's name in the middle of her forehead.
…It Doesn't Stop There
Golden Palace has made a number of other mad purchases. Below, you'll find a summary of a few of them. Golden Palace …
