Sparky Collins: A Cultural Phenomena
Online casino gamblers frequenting the information and news site Gambling911 are
undoubtedly familiar with Sparky Collins, a reporter who has created waves in
the industry with cutting edge news stories and an interesting sexual
orientation. Collins is transgender – not a big deal to some, but others in the
online casino industry are hypothesizing that his association with internet
gambling could attach a stigma to the popular pastime.
But others just chalk that notion up as hogwash. Not only are Collins’ stories
hugely popular at Gambling911, but he has also entered the political scene to an
extent thanks to representative Barney Frank. Frank is currently proposing new
online casino legislation, and it has been rumored that Frank, an openly gay
congressman, is numbered among Collins’ fans as well.
For those Collins fans who just can’t wait to see what s/he will do next,
Collins is promoting in the Bahamas at CAP Spring Break. Many online casinos
will be representing at the event that is sponsored by Collins’ site,
Gambling911. Other popular reporters for the site will also be there, including
Jenny Woo, Flash Callahan, and others. Each reporter was randomly assigned to
promote one of the participating online casino sites, and Collins chose
StraightFlush.com. Collins noted that though many find irony in the casino
site’s name, “just because the name Straight Flush does not mean they retire of
me."
Gambling911’s Senior Editor, Payton O’Brien comments on how the other reports
feel about Collins’ unique situation. "The only problem Sparky (Collins) really
presents is that some of the girls, like Jenny, are bound to get a little
jealous. Jenny will always be our Gambling911.com diva and she is beloved by the
online gambling community. Sparky will need to win over this group of people and
she can start in the Bahamas."
