Jamie Foxx: From Hollywood to Casino Commercials – Is This Really the Best Move?
It seems Jamie Foxx, once a celebrated actor known for his wide range of roles, has now become the face of BetMGM’s latest online casino commercial. Foxx, who has been struggling to find significant roles recently, now finds himself shilling for a casino brand in a new ad campaign, a far cry from his Oscar-winning days.
The new commercial, titled "Vegas Lights," was unveiled by BetMGM as part of their efforts to promote their online casino. The ad features Foxx traveling through iconic MGM Resorts destinations in Las Vegas, including the MGM Grand, Bellagio, and ARIA Resort and Casino, promoting the seamless experience of BetMGM’s online platform that allows users to earn in-person rewards like show tickets and resort accommodations.
While Foxx’s star power might still hold some weight, it’s clear that his participation in this project is a step down from his previous career achievements. Once known for his talent on the big screen, now he’s lending his face to promote online gambling, which doesn’t exactly align with his earlier, more prestigious roles.
BetMGM seems to believe that Foxx’s energy and humor will resonate with viewers, but some might question whether this is the best way for the actor to remain relevant in an industry that has moved on from him. The fact that Foxx is now the face of a casino brand raises eyebrows about the direction his career has taken, especially given his previous status as an award-winning actor.
As for the commercial itself, the "Vegas Lights" ad, created by Highdive and directed by The Malloys, does little to hide the fact that the casino industry is pushing hard to capture a new market of online gamblers. But with Foxx’s recent career trajectory, one has to wonder if this partnership is really a fit for his brand—or just a paycheck in a world that no longer seems to have room for him as a leading man.
tickscollar All this bullshit was invented to squeeze out the last money. It used to be easier - bet on red, win or lose. And now some chickens are running, airplanes are flying... Circus.
xSuiZ The article is fire! Everything was laid out according to the facts. Drake is not a ludomaniac, he is a walking advertisement. And while the suckers believe in his "curse", Stake rakes in the money. Beautiful, you can't say anything. I've been riding a steak myself for a year now, I threw in crypto and generally don't give a about all the blocking.
Leoak Finally a good article on NC! I've been playing them since the very beginning, since the first Deadwood. Yes, their dispersion is crazy, you can lose a deposit in 100 spins. But when he pours ... It's worth it. In Mental x15k I caught, I still remember this spin. The whole point is in their x-mechanics, they really change the game, and not just for show.
tealblossom 2 minutes to respond? Yes, this is a dream! Otherwise, while you wait for these operators, you will already want to play. It's high time!
2sMilkiMiDiosa FIRE IN THE HOLE 3!! SCAM FROM NOLIMIT! HIT 2K, SPIN $10, NOT A SINGLE, BONUS!! HE JUST EATS AND DOES NOT CHOKE! I'LL NEVER GET INTO THAT SHIT AGAIN!
It’s disappointing to see Jamie Foxx stoop to this level. He used to have real talent, but now he’s just a pawn for a casino brand.
Foxx was amazing in his prime, but now he’s just another celebrity face on a gambling ad. Feels like a cheap move to me.
BetMGM must be scraping the bottom of the barrel if they’re using Jamie Foxx to promote their online casino. Guess he's just chasing the paycheck these days.
Jamie Foxx once dazzled on the big screen, but now he’s just shilling for a casino? A real shame to see such a talented actor take this route.
