Cashing in on Superstition
Innovative marketing is one of the biggest growing industries right now – and
some may argue that marketing is more important than even the online casinos
themselves because the old adage “if you build it, they will come;” that doesn’t
always hold true and some great gambling sites are left with few players and few
options. But clever marketing has its definite advantage and all of the online
casinos in the UK market are vying for the best marketing campaigns that will
show their brand to their target market in a fun and new way – something
different than the rest of the pack. For VirginGames.com, the approach of Friday
the 13th was the perfect way for the online gambling site to tie in a fun
holiday with a special promotion and information.
This past Friday the 13th was the second one of the year – a fact that has some
superstitious online casino gamblers and punters on edge on that day. To ease
the fears of some though, and conversely serve as a warning to others, Virgin
Games released a breakdown of the luckiest and unluckiest locations in the UK.
The information was gathered across 100,000 separate bets and then calculated by
city/region. The online casino gamblers that lost a lot of money on their bets
were the unlucky ones while gamblers in other regions had decided more luck with
the wagers they cast at the Virgin Games site.
Some of the specific data that the Virgin Games online casino gambling group
calculated included rankings of St.Albans as the luckiest place in the whole of
the UK. That is quite the title for this city to hold and Virgin Games, in jest
and in an overture to appeal to the superstitious gamblers noted that those
looking to place wagers might want to consider some of the luckier spots in the
UK, which also include Sutton, Luton, and Brighton. Gamblers in Belfast might
just want to hold off on their wagering for the day according to Virgin’s
results. |
