"APOSTA TUDO" enters the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ with the highest stake game in a hot air balloon.
Aposta Tudo officially entered the Guinness World Records after the validation of the stunt that took a live casino table to great heights. The feat, performed in Praia Grande, Santa Catarina, was recognized as the highest betting table in the world, in an unprecedented operation that combined entertainment, technology, hot air ballooning, parachuting, and a highly complex security structure.
The Guinness World Records plaque presentation ceremony marked the official confirmation of the record and crowned a production that had already garnered national attention for its audacity: a real round of Bac Bo performed on a metal platform suspended by a hot air balloon, at an altitude of 9.970 feet, equivalent to approximately 3.039 meters.
The action took place on May 14, 2025, and one of the highlights was the participation of actor Malvino Salvador, who filmed the scenes without a stunt double, in a structure suspended above the canyons of Praia Grande. On that occasion, the operation mobilized a technical team, security professionals, specialists in aerial activities, and a structure created specifically to allow the in-person filming at altitude.
Now, with official validation from Guinness World Records, the "Aposta Tudo" campaign transforms into a historic milestone for the Brazilian entertainment industry. More than just an advertising campaign, the project is now included in the record book as an internationally recognized achievement.
Documentary shows behind-the-scenes details of the operation.
In addition to unveiling the plaque, the brand also released a full documentary on YouTube, showing behind-the-scenes preparation, technical challenges, structure assembly, safety protocols, and the execution of the high-altitude stunt.
The footage reveals everything from the initial planning stages to the actual event, showcasing the complexity of staging a live casino experience in such an extreme environment. The production involved hot air ballooning, vertical techniques, a suspended metal structure, safety equipment, and a team trained to operate under unusual conditions of altitude, wind, and exposure.
How was the recognized round?
According to the technical materials presented in the certification process, the round was held at a physical Bac Bo table, with chips, dice, a dealer/croupier, and three participating players. Bac Bo is a casino game based on the comparison between two main positions: Player, represented by the blue dice, and Banker, represented by the red dice.
In the round analyzed, the three players made in-person bets on the Player field. After the dice were rolled, the result was 6 and 4 on the blue dice, totaling 10 points, against 1 and 6 on the red dice, totaling 7 points. Therefore, the Player position was the winner of the round.
The documentation also recorded the presence of the physical table, chips positioned on the betting fields, blue and red dice, participants, dealer/croupier, and the visible external environment, reinforcing the in-person nature of the event.
Confirmed altitude
Another key point of the validation was the operating altitude. The altimeter reading used on the analyzed equipment indicated 9.970 feet, equivalent to approximately 3.039 meters. The technical analysis showed that the reading was compatible with the expected operation of the equipment and consistent with the operational context presented.
This brand took the action to an unusual level for entertainment campaigns: a betting table installed on a platform suspended by a hot air balloon, at high altitude, with a live round documented from beginning to end.
International recognition for a Brazilian initiative.
Guinness World Records awards often recognize achievements that transcend the promotional realm and enter history for their originality, scale, or difficulty of execution. In the case of "Aposta Tudo" (All In), the record combines a creative idea with a controlled high-risk technical operation, requiring planning, documentation, and detailed proof.
The presentation of the plaque symbolizes the closing of this process and consolidates Aposta Tudo as responsible for one of the boldest actions ever carried out in the Brazilian entertainment market.
With this recognition, the brand officially holds a world title: Highest altitude casino game in a hot air balloon.
