Ostriches at the Blackjack Table: Duel Stages Another Controversial Live Stream
Crypto casino Duel continues to play not only blackjack, but also with the limits of what can be shown in a live format. In its latest broadcast, two live ostriches appeared at the gaming table. One of them was dressed in a tuxedo for added effect, making it look like another attempt to turn a regular session into a viral stunt.
For Duel, this is not the first foray into provocative live content. The casino has already used unconventional formats to stand out from ordinary streams with dealers and streamers. Earlier, the brand ran a broadcast with Mike Tyson, who lost $20,000 at the table.
This time, the bet was not on a celebrity, but on absurdity and risk. It turned out loud, strange, and clearly designed to spark discussion. The only question is where the line lies between hype, a show, and a situation where the format itself starts to look far too unmanageable.

This kind of publicity stunt definitely grabs attention, but it also raises questions about where entertainment ends and unnecessary spectacle begins. If the game itself becomes secondary to viral moments, it can be hard to take the platform seriously as a casino.
