Pretty creative Renee and useful. Some casino landing pages should include some sort of infomercial. Give the visitor a chuckle and the same time add trust IMO.

I only watched the video because I was curious what really happened. satire could be used to attract visitors, for sure. (It worked on me)

Base did you also watch the opera house video?
What did you think?

Did it make you laugh?

I did like the opera house video, it reminds me of the Daily Show and I found it almost as enjoyable. I do get a sense that there is an underlying product on the videos though, like a GoDaddy commercial. I can't say whether that's good or bad from a business perspective, but from the viewer perspective is does make it a little harder to laugh at. (Maybe its the casino rewards box hovering on the video, it all seems subliminal).

I have an idea that could be much harder to implement, but I was going to do something like this with poker instructional videos:

On youtube, have a "video preview" (maybe 5 mins, or possibly even less). Viewers on YouTube are looking for instant gratification, but its a great place to build a following. Make them want MORE, and let them know in the description or at the end of the video that full-length and/or high quality videos can be found at www.example.com. So you have some pressure for conversions but the videos themselves don't have any hint of commercialism. I definitely think its better if the videos are viewed on your website than on youtube.
