BARBIE HAS BEEN MANY THINGS, BUT DEFINITELY NOT A GAMBLER

It’s one of the biggest movies of the year so it’s not surprising that Barbie merchandise and branding is everywhere, but there’s ONE place you won’t see it – at the casino! According to a studio insider, executives turned DOWN a lucrative branding deal to feature Barbie on slot machines all around the world. The insider says they didn’t want to tarnish Barbie’s wholesome reputation by associating her with gambling.

The one and only Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter, has a new business venture. She unveiled Bally’s new “Wonder Woman” slot machines at the Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas. She also autographed photos of herself as “Wonder Woman” for fans. The slot machines are based on her TV character and we presume she gets a healthy cut of the profits. Lynda, 63, still performs as a singer occasionally.
