Years ago, Gretzky gave an interview about doing promotions and he said he initially refused doing any promotions but that his agent convinced him he could just promote products he actually used and liked.
I think of that interview every time I see him on a garish gambling poster that looks like something you would see on the Atlantic City boardwalk.

And of course, there's nothing stopping casinos from offering a two-tier system, like how Scientology used to do in Hollywood: the few stars they needed for promotion got to play luxury dianetics, whereas everyone else got milked dry.
