Empire Casino gave a guy £1,000 to bet. But all decisions were made by the public on Twitter.

The Casino at The Empire in Liecester Square used Twitter yesterday to create the World’s first #SocialCasino experiment.

They chose one lucky guy, and gave him £1,000 to bet. However there was one slight catch – every one of his decisions were to be made by the public via Twitter.

Everyone was updated through Empire Casino’s twitter account, and by using the hashtag #SocialCasino they were able to help by suggesting the next move.

After playing Roulette, Blackjack (personal fave) and Three Card Poker he walked away with £930.

Looks like a pretty hard stunt to pull off, but it went very well gaining over 1 million impressions and reaching 107,000 people since yesterday (and still counting!).
