At halftime during a Texas A&M women’s basketball game, freshman Ethan Wright nailed an impressive half-court shot in front of a 3,700 plus crowd, scoring $1,000, courtesy of Mountain Dew and paid for by Odds On Promotions.

Wright was randomly selected from the student section during the first half and took his prize-winning shot right before the start of the third quarter.

This was the second half-court shot winner for Texas A&M during the same season. Hunter Prahbu scored $10,000, courtesy of Mountain Dew and paid for by Odds On, during a Men’s game earlier in the school year.  Want to put your business at center court this season?

Perking Up Play and Engagement in Your Pit

An effective table games promotion doesn’t need to be a major operational headache or involve hours of mathematical calculations! Odds On has a variety of ways to incent table games play that will make a big impression on your players without putting a dent in your marketing budget.

Starting from Scratch

Scratch Cards are a great tool for helping your table games staff to recognize, reward and engage with players without a great deal of expense. Select which days/times you’d like to target for improvement along with an enticing grand prize – up to $1MM –  which will be paid for by Odds On Promotions, and a weekly guaranteed prize that will appeal to the target audience. Then simply hand over a card whenever someone meets your qualifications – we suggest suited blackjacks with a targeted minimum bet.  Have players scratch the cards at their convenience. If a lucky player unveils a winning combination of symbols, Odds On will pay for their prize. Have players complete the contact information on the reverse of any non-winning cards and invite them to drop them in a drawing barrel in the Pit.  To ensure engagement throughout your promotion, at the end of each week select a lucky winner and award your guaranteed prize.  Let’s face it, it really doesn’t get any easier than this.

Looking for something more sophisticated? Consider upgrading to one of Odds On’s handheld tablets, which can be housed at your Club, and hand qualifying players a “Free Play” coupon which they can redeem at their leisure.

Odds On also offers customizable pull tab cards that can be used to award a variety of guaranteed prizes.

Odds On’s newest creation combines the fun of Craps with the thrills of a giant-prize game show.  Rolling Up Riches gives a qualifying players the chance to roll a pair of dice taking home an ever increasing amount of guaranteed cash.

Put a New Spin On It

Roulette is one of the easiest games to understand, making it ideal for attracting and engaging new table game players. And it’s even more appealing when you pair it with the chance to win a giant prize.

Ideal for driving play into a slow weekend, have players qualify via points or play for a period of 30-60 days leading up to your target dates.

On your “Big Spin” weekend, you’ll select a predetermined number of lucky players who’ll get a guaranteed cash prize and the chance to place a marker on the number of their choice. If the wheel lands on their number, they’ll win an additional prize, plus the chance to score $100,000 or more if the same number hits again.

Halftime Basketball Promotion Scores Big Media Coverage

Greenville, S.C.  –  Talk about starting off 2018 with a bang! Clemson University’s first halftime basketball promotion on the new year was a huge success.

Christopher Carns won $10,000 on January 6, 2018, courtesy of Roto-Rooter, and paid for by Odds On Promotions, after he drained a 94-foot putt during halftime at a Clemson basketball game at Littlejohn Coliseum.

Carns, who was randomly selected to participate in the fan-friendly on-court halftime basketball contest, had only ever played golf a few times.  After he hit the ball, he expected the shot to veer off at any moment, but as it turned out, the ball rolled right through the template placed at the other end of the court, resulting in a giant roar of approval from the crowd and a big hug from the school’s mascot.

The halftime promotional putt also paid off for Roto-Rooter. The winning giant-prize “drain the putt” story was picked up by ESPN, every major golf publication, CBS Sports and USA Today.

Check out Carns’ amazing putt for yourself.

Are you looking for a way to make your sports sponsorship dollars work harder and smarter?  Need ideas for turning any sports event into a big prize promotional opportunity? Odds On Promotions can help.

Tulsa, Okla. –  Congratulations to Cathy Gunther who won a brand-new Ford in a television station football promotion, sponsored by the Oklahoma Ford Dealers.

Gunther won her new ride, valued at $45,000, as part of  KOKI Fox 23’s Kickoff and Win Sweepstakes, a season-long football promotion based around Fox’s Saturday night college football “Game of the Week”.

In addition to the weekly prize, everyone who participated also was entered to win a Bonus Prize at the end of the season: a $500 service certificate, a Yeti cooler, and two tailgate chairs.
