Appearing in a recorded video message, Stallone, famous for his movie role as hard-luck Philadelphia boxer Rocky Balboa, was part of a parade of celebrities and gambling executives who asked Pennsylvania state regulators last week for a casino license in Rocky’s hometown.
One of Stallone’s partners in Planet Hollywood International Inc., actor Bruce Willis, also recorded a video message to board members, promising that “you can expect to see me at the casino plenty.”
One message from the casino hopefuls was that big names will be a free advertisement to draw gamblers to their establishments to spend money that will eventually become tax revenue for Pennsylvania.
