Casino indeed. People: anyone have connections with a Vegas Hotels? It may require some marketing genius, but just imagine if someplace like the Bellagio warmed up to these Black Beauties. Hell, we might not only have chips, but our own BLACKCOIN SLOT MACHINES!
First person with an angle on this, I suggest you run with it. Make some calls & get on a flight to LV tonight. BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE DOES!

LOL! Well, as someone who lives here (and actually is a 40 year native of the Vegas valley) I can tell you that's never going to happen. Not unless BC represents about 30 Billion USD in market cap. All casinos, but especially premier properties like the Wynn, Bellagio, Caesars Palace, etc. spend huge amounts of money and marketing to make sure they're sharing the spotlight with no one. Now if we get to the point that someone like myself with just a few 100K worth of BC represents what we consider a whale (and in this city, you get that distinction only after dropping $500K+ in a single night on the tables)... I'll be more than happy to develop a team and make some presentations.
As it is, our 'brand' ranks about 5,000,000 places below Monster (drinks or cables you take your pick), Sony, Nike, Gucci, etc... and even they are only allowed to co-brand or advertise on things like the monorail, special events, or retail outlets in very specific areas. Everything else will always have only the property logo/name.
I'm not saying it can't ever happen, and I'm certainly not saying I wouldn't love it... but in this town even a decent sized bar or convenience store pulls in 10-15% of BC's entire market cap every month on gaming (I have a friend with a 7-Eleven franchise who averages about $18K/mo just on 6 video poker machines).
By way of contrast Bellagio makes slightly more than BC's market cap in a 24hr period.
... All that being said, I do like the way you think - we're just not quite to that level yet. And you will only get one change in that market... if you're lucky.
Lol, couldn't agree with you more: the thought wildly over-reaches a more sober and realistic sense of present limits. Nonetheless, where crypto and the world are now is one thing. Where it all might go, quite another. It could be bigger, and arrive sooner, than any of us might now suppose. I advocate thinking big from the get go. It can happen that by attempting the impossible you attain - if not exactly what you set out to do - something much better. Glad to hear you agree at least with the style of thinking.
And PS, Bitcoin, with its say 5-10 Bil market cap is already happening in vegas (to an extent).
Well, you are partially correct in this - and I do plan on going to some BTC gatherings and community networking functions to make sure that everyone understands that there's a 'new kid on the block' - and one that's not going to sit still until it's Bitcoin that hopes to go places BC already is. However, there is a very vast divide between having a BC 'branded' slot machine in the Bellagio and 4-5 downtown properties allowing for payment of drinks or rooms with BTC.
But I agree, with all of it's faults... this town is a little more open-minded than most to the concept of crypto currencies... after all we've been turning fiat into chips for decades (and that's very analogous to crytpos)!
I had a huge share but didn't get any bonus and now I'm sad
