Hogan News: Hulk Hogan-themed Las Vegas slot machine to debut at 2008 Gaming Expo
Oct 22, 2008 - 12:24:48 PM
Hulk Hogan is teaming with the National Indian Gaming Association (NIGA) to raise money and awareness for Native American children through the creation of the "Hulkamania Experience" video slot machine. The slot machine will debut at the 2008 Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas.
Hogan will be receiving a "Humanitarian Award" on November 19 in Las Vegas to promote the cause and slot machine launch. Through the Dreamseeker's Foundation, a portion of the proceeds from the slot machine "will go towards the various health and education initiatives yet to be determined by the foundation," according to the press release.
NIGA hopes Hogan as a spokesman for the Foundation will bring attention to adverse economic circumstances faced by Native Americans, especially children. "American Indian children are more likely to live in poverty than any other racial or ethnic group in this country," said Hogan in the press release. "It's time to change that, and I'm proud to be associated with that effort."

Ask the Editor
Ask the Editor: Wouldn't incorporating MMA-style holds into pro wrestling matches just be trying to be something it's not?
ASK THE EDITOR: Have the Michaels-Batista promos crossed a line with use of insider terms, references to "jobs"?
ASK THE EDITOR: Why do wrestlers in WWE refer to wrestling as "the business" and not "the sport"?
