Why would they go to such greater length to pull off such a "stunt"?

You know what would even be much better for PR?

"Player gets paid 7 million with in 24 Hours without any issue after a massive win" and then they would have this all over their blogs and social media including on Twitter where they are so active. I have seen casino do this even for less amounts.

But well, you want to feel like the prophet...go on.
