Waiting for my Free Tiger from Golden Tiger Casino

For those of you who don't think that online casinos don't have a sense of humor, think again. Think Golden Tiger Casino. I'm referring to one of the wackiest and funniest online casino promotions ever run by an online casino, and one that has had online casino fans scratching their heads in amazement until they realize the promotion is in fact an extended April Fool's joke.
At least I think it is an April Fool's joke. But you be the judge. On February 14 last year, Golden Palace launched its by now infamous 'Win a Free Tiger Promotion', which ends on April 14th, 2011. According to the terms of the promotion - which I understand to has been particularly well received by Canadian online gambling fans - Golden Tiger Casino is giving away one live adult Bengal tiger every month for the duration of the promotion.
Yes, you read correctly, one live Bengal tiger each month for 15 months! Billed as Golden Tiger Casino's 'Greatest Giveaway Ever', players stand the chance of winning their very own man-eating carnivore simply by signing up with Golden Tiger Casino, downloading its free Microgaming-powered online casino software and playing any of the casino's over 426 state-of-the-art online casino games. (The promotion doesn't mention the man-eating bit, I just added that in for effect).
What the Win a Free Tiger Promotion does mention, however, is that the fortunate winners should be prepared to stock their fridges with loads of fresh meat because Bengal tigers have very big appetites. In fact, according to Golden Palace Casino, the average Bengal tiger consumes around 20kg of meat a day. Steak Tartare anyone? I especially loved the term and condition that says 'Golden Tiger Casino takes no responsibility for injury or death following delivery of tiger'. Classic.
Although I'm aware that the Win a Free Tiger Promotion is nothing but an elaborate prank, I have to confess that I wish it wasn't as I'd love to own my very own Bengal tiger and parade it around my neighborhood here in Toronto. Especially in front of a few particularly annoying neighbors. (Mrs Jones in 14A I'm talking about you). But prank as it may be, it motivated me to sign up with Golden Tiger Casino and take advantage of its generous $1,500 no deposit sign up bonus, which allowed me to play for free for an hour, and keep my winnings.
Who said online casinos don't have a sense of humor?
