Pageantmaster Bruno Peek – How Casinos are Involved in Pageants

Bruno, one of Britain’s leading event organisers, has masterminded some of this country’s most memorable celebrations, including spectacular events for The Queen’s Golden and Diamond Jubilees.

Bruno, who was born in Norfolk, has been managing major events for more than 30 years. His first key commission, in 1981, was to organise Operation Sea Fire, which saw a chain of 90 beacon fires lit around our coast to launch Maritime England for the English Tourist Board.

Other commissions followed, ranging from celebrations of Old Father Time in villages, towns and cities throughout Britain to the BBC’s Battle of the Pop Bands at the Hammersmith Odeon in London.

In 1986 Bruno was invited to set up the third world’s first theme park in Sri Lanka, where it was officially opened by the country’s prime minister.

Beacon Europe, celebrating the launch of the Single European Market in 1992, took Bruno four years to plan and execute. It saw 1,000 beacons ignited across the 12 countries of the European Community and those in each of the capital cities was lit by the prime minister or head of state.

On December 31st 1999 he handed her Majesty The Queen a ceremonial torch to light the National Beacon on the River Thames to signal the start of Britain’s year-long millennium celebrations. More than 1,300 other beacons were lit that night, all co-ordinated by Bruno and his team.

He went on to co-ordinate The Queen’s Golden Jubilee Summer Party, 60th anniversary events commemorating the end of World War II, Trafalgar Weekend and Enjoy England.

Recent events have included Fly a Flag for Our Armed Forces, the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Party Weekend and The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Beacons, which saw an amazing 4,215 beacons lit throughout the United Kingdom and in countries around the world.

Poland awarded Bruno the Order of Polonia Restituta (OPR) in 1988 in recognition of his work. Born in King’s Lynn to Polish parents, Bruno was placed in a children’s home when he was 13 months old and adopted by an English couple at the age of four and a half.

Bruno was awarded an OBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours in June 2000 and two years later was appointed a member of the Royal Victorian Order (MVO).

Casinos and Beauty Pageants

Not a surprise to everyone who follows the world of pageants from up close, but casinos are premium locations for the most popular pageants in the world. To this day though, we are not sure whether online casino sites UK and worldwide will ever be directly involved into pageants at all – maybe with generous sponsorship deals and media coverage. So far, we certainly know that the world’s most renown beauty pageants are usually covered by online casinos by offering different odds for the different contestants to actually grab a certain title. For Miss Universe for example, thousands of gamblers flock to the biggest casino sites in the world to bet on their favourites, every single year.

Meanwhile, land-based casinos are more closely involved in the organization and hosting of the top pageants in the world – for example, this year’s miss universe pageants was held at a casino in Florida.
