The State of Origin showdown this year was a truly historic event… The Photo Booth Guys were present AND the Maroons trashed the Blues in a record-breaking victory!

We joined forces with Treasury Casino & Hotel for the Qld/NSW decider and brought along two InstaPrintas to capture two of their unique activations via two hashtags. One involved guests having a seat in a plush maroon throne, taking a photo and tagging with #treasurymaroonthrone.

The other gave guests the chance to join the lineup and become the 18th man for the Maroons, with free printouts for pics tagged with #18thman. All the printouts had a custom ‘Maroon Kingdom Royalty’ design, giving fans the chance to declare their allegiance and take away a souvenir photo to remember the victorious day!

Treasury Casino staff were on hand as the crowds gathered for their snaps, giving away special offers and pulling in more Maroons fans to join the squad or take to the crimson throne… some really got into the spirit!

While others decided to get a little bit controversial… Wrong colour fellas!

State of What?

If you’re not Australian or a rugby fan and are wondering what all this is about, the State of Origin is an annual 3-match series between two rugby league squads. Representatives from New South Wales (the Blues) and Queensland (Maroons) make up the two squads, and the State of Origin thing refers to how the players are picked according to where they played their first senior rugby league match.

We had an absolute blast at this monumental clash, made all the better for Qld’s comprehensive victory… maybe next year eh Blues? Or maybe not. heheh. Huge thanks to Treasury Casino & Hotel for being awesome and to the fans for really getting stuck in.
