Casino Floor Promotion: The Big Draw Insured by Casino… RENEWED!

casino floor promotion - the big drawI’m excited to announce that one of my Louisiana casino properties – the one that insured a  Million Dollar New Year’s Eve Big Draw casino floor promotion had amazing success!  They increased traffic, kept people on their property for a longer duration of time, and were able to increase their coin-in that day!

And, it’s because of those amazing results that they’ve decided to renew their contract with Odds On Promotions and insure it again — this time, for an entire month!

During the one-month promotional period, players will be able to participate in this lotto-based casino floor promotion by simply swiping their Player’s Club card and choosing six lucky numbers on the touchscreen of one of Odds On’s 4′ x 8′ deluxe kiosks.  They will also have the option to select the ‘Quick Pick’ button on the game’s touchscreen and have their numbers chosen for them at random!

Once the players finish selecting their numbers on the touchscreen of the kiosk, they will receive a printed ticket, notifying them of the next “draw time”, which states when and where the lucky numbers will be announced.  Come draw time, an on-site promotion official will conduct the drawing using Odds On’s “Big Draw” ball draw machine (Zoom Ball machine).  Six randomly numbered balls will be collected into the machine’s “Zoom Zone” to determine the winning numbers.  Should any player’s six numbers on their drawing ticket happen to match the six numbers collected in the ball draw machine, they’ll be cashing out $1,000,000 richer, compliments of Odds On!

I personally love The Big Draw — not only is it an exciting promotion to run and participate in, but this particular casino floor promotion actually entices players to stay on property for a longer period of time than usual to if they’re a grand prize winner!

Horseshoe Toss Promotion Insured by Payment Solutions Company

horseshoe toss promotionReady to increase those fundraising dollars and get everyone totally amped up to “pitch” in with donations… all by insuring a contest with Odds On Promotions?  One of my clients, a payment solutions company based in Texas, ended up insuring a horseshoe toss promotion at an annual ‘shindig’ at a local country club.

On the date of the event, each attendee pitched in money to have their name put into a raffle.  Whomever’s name was drawn would be the contestant chosen to pitch a ringer for a chance to win an instant $10,000… paid for by Odds On!

I really enjoyed helping insure this promotion due to the fact that it assisted with fundraising for a variety of local charities, including the community’s local 4-H Organization, which helps fund youth development programs.  Furthermore, while there was no $10,000 grand prize winner, the client still gave away a spectacular self-insured prize: an all-inclusive 2014 Kentucky Derby® vacation package for next year’s big races!  Talk about a company who knows how to put on one heck of a fundraiser!

Insuring a horseshoe toss promotion is not only cost-efficient and simple to facilitate, but the contest itself can be held at any time, anywhere — which gives you the freedom to have the horseshoe toss promotion wherever you please!  Odds On will simply supply you with all the necessities to offer an insured grand prize for the individual who [hopefully] happens to make that ringer!

Slot Tournament Performance Bonus Insured By California Casino

slot tournamentBrent Kelly, Western Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions, shares an idea for holding more successful slot tournaments… 

This Spring I assisted a California casino client in adding some sizzle to a slot tournaments with an a unique insured prize promotion called a performance bonus.

While performance bonuses are generally used to motivate professional athletes, coaches, teams, or sales departments, they can be used in a variety of ways … including casino promotions such as slot, poker and other table games tournaments.  As the name implies, a bonus is awarded if a particular level of performance is achieved.

For this event, a 3-day slot tournament, players could qualify for a “performance bonus” – and be eligible to win up to $160,000 in cash –  based on their tournament play.

Here’s how it worked…

Each contestant was randomly assigned a slot machine for each of  round of tournament play.  If a player ended up finishing all three rounds with the highest score, they would have been awarded $100,000… and Odds On would have written the check for the prize!

If a player consistently finished with one of the top 5 highest scores during all three rounds, they would be awarded $50,000.  And if  any player who finished the tournament having landed in the top ten during all three rounds, Odds On would have paid out Odds On would have paid out $10,000.

Slot Tournament: Multiple Ways to Win!

Three days of slots, three chances to win additional cash – and the property only had to pay a fraction of cost of the prize so they were able to advertise a substantially larger prize pool without having to risk the cost of a payout!  It doesn’t get any better than that!

Let us help you make one of your players a winner by insuring a grand prize at your upcoming slot tournament — just give Odds On a call today at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote.  You can also email Odds On Promotions for more information!

Golf Contest Helps Raise Funds for Basketball Team’s Charity

golf contest - 60-foot puttDamien Anderson, Internet Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions shares how an aviation company in the Southwest managed to help raise funds for a basketball team’s charity by insuring a grand prize golf contest...

In order to help fundraise as well as improve their name recognition, an aviation company in the Southwest insured a putting contest at the charity’s 25th Annual “Jump Ball Gala” event, which featured appearances by Charles Barkley and Kevin Johnson (“KJ”) of NBA fame.

Individuals who made a donation at the event had the opportunity to participate in a 15-foot putting golf contest.  All those who successfully holed the putt then had their names placed in a bowl.  Out of all those who qualified, one lucky attendee’s name was drawn and they were given the opportunity to make a final 60-foot putt.  If they holed that grand prize putt, they would have been given the gift of flight — $20,000 in free private flight hours, paid for by Odds On Promotions.

Pssst – Remember the infamous Shot at Glory hole-in-one challenge at the infamous 16th green at TPC Scottsdale earlier this year, which Odds On’s sister company, Hole In One International, insured?  The aforementioned charity just so happened to be the title sponsor for that event!  Furthermore, the aviation company teamed up with Hole In One International to also insure a hole in one contest on three separate courses at Desert Mountain Golf Course in Scottsdale, Arizona!  What can we say?  Our clients just can’t get enough of us!
