Casino Fortune [Playtech]
today announced their next North American representative, Sopranos
star and accomplished artist, Federico Castelluccio. Mr. Castelluccio
is popularly known as Furio on the blockbuster HBO series, The Sopranos
. An accomplished painter as well as actor, Mr. Castelluccio's work
can be found in private and public collections in the U.S. , South
America and Europe .
The agreement comes in the wake of Friday's abruptly cancelled
contract with Sopranos actor, Jamie-Lynn DiScala, who decided to
quash a three month campaign to raise money for - and awareness
of - her eating disorders charity, The Jamie-Lynn DiScala Foundation.
CasinoFortune will hold a press conference at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday,
November 23rd at 62 W. 45th Street , 4th Floor.
“We reviewed Mr. Castelluccio's body of work - from
painting to acting - and realized that he was a natural fit for
our primary demographic,” said Casino Fortune senior
vice president, Dennis Rose. “Furthermore, with Mr.
Castelluccio as our next representative, I expect there'll be more
dire consequences should I make another offhanded comment.”
Mr. Castelluccio's presence on Casino Fortune will appeal to a
broad demographic of recreational gamblers. Internal research among
Casino Fortune's 1.9 million members indicates that women outnumber
men, and that over 70 percent of players have premium cable services
in their house. Mr. Castelluccio's web site can be found here.
Casino Fortune will link their site to Mr. Castelluccio's online
art gallery in order to showcase his works to a broader audience.
