The Casino Games: Medal in Three Rounds and You’ll Take Home A Million!

Want to add some big dollar sizzle, not to mention fun, to your next slot or table games tournament?  Here’s a fun way to capitalize on the upcoming summer games in London… “The Casino Games”!

Step One: Qualify players from now until June or July via points earned and/or via midweek hot seat drawings and invite your “Olympians”, along with qualifying rated players and their guests,  for a three-day, two-night stay and the chance to win up to $1,000,000 in cash and an all-expenses paid trip to London.

Step Two:  Throw a welcome party where players will not only receive their playing times but matching uniforms too! Then, assign each player to a “team”  lead by a coaches
— aka your hosts and/or gaming department managers.

Step Three: Run your tournament with any combination of games & rounds that works for you: Blackjack, slots, bingo, video poker, craps, Keno, etc.

Step Four: Award nominal “free play” prizes to the winning “team” after each round doling out the big dollars (along with medals and laurel wreaths, naturally) to the top three
players in each “event”.

Step Five:  At the conclusion of your tournament, you’ll tally up the scores and award cash & prizes to your top-point earners as you would in any tournament; however, if any of your players have finished in the top three in all three rounds, they’ll take home a giant cash bonus, courtesy of Odds On.  Even better, if any player takes “gold” ( i.e. first place) in three rounds, they’ll score a million dollars, paid for by Odds On.

Bonus Round:  At your Awards Ceremony, give a few randomly selected players the chance to play for a trip to London, insured by Odds On, or one of two other self-insured cash prizes in our Gold Medal Pick ‘Til You Win Game.

Heartland Homes Insures Prize Vault Promotion at Viewing Party

Prize Vault Promotion Insured by Heartland HomesWith a little help from Odds On Promotions, Heartland Homes out of Lawrence, Pennsylvania is capitalizing on their encore appearance on Home & Garden Television (HGTV)!

Heartland Homes was fortunate enough to be selected to have one of their stunning model units featured on the Cranberry Township episode of HGTV’s “Showcase Showdown.”

This March,  Heartland contacted Odds On Promotions‘ Northeast Business Development Manager Chris Gardiner to assist them in maximizing viewership and publicity surrounding an encore presentation of the show. Chris’ suggestion …  Give everyone who attends the “encore” viewing party a chance to pick a winning number and score $25,000, paid for by Odds On.

Each guest who visited on the day of the viewing party had the opportunity to enter a 4-digit number (‘code’) into Odds On’s handheld Lucky Number verification unit which was attached to the top of a Plexiglass prize vault.  If a lucky party-goer’s guess matched Odds On’s preselected 4-digit number, they would have walked away $25,000 richer that day… and Heartland Homes would have had the peace of mind knowing that there wouldn’t have been any risk of payout.

And if the chance to win $25K wasn’t enough, attendees got to meet the show’s host, Bob Guiney, and interior designers, Joe Berkowitz and Alisha Gwen in the actual home that was featured on HGTV.

Want to increase traffic & participation at your next event?  We’d be happy to help you create a promotion that will make your advertising and PR dollars more effective!

Looking for Indy 500 promotions? We’ve got ’em!

At 12 p.m. EST, on Sunday, May 27, the best drivers in the world will speed into the history books as they race for the checkered flag in the 96th running of the Indianapolis 500.

And this year, for the first time since 1996, all entries will feature turbocharged engines and will be brand new model-year chassis!

Want to turbocharge your marketing? Why not give your customers the chance to bank a brand new car or a cool $10K, $100K or even $1,000,000 with a little help from Odds On Promotions.

Here are a few ways you can turn “the greatest spectacle in racing” into a great traffic driver for your business this May…

500 Finishing Order Fortune:  Invite your customers to predict the correct finishing order of the race. If a lucky contestant calls it right, they’ll drive home a winner!

Racing for Riches: In this multi-player racing theme game three contestants go head to head for a chance to win up to $1,000,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions. “Drivers” take turns selecting and opening Lucky Envelopes revealing how far they can advance around the track. The first “driver” to cross the finish line opens a final envelope to reveal their prize. If theirs was the lucky preselected car, they’ll win your grand prize and Odds On Promotions will pick up the tab.

Greatest Race, Greatest Rebate: Give race fans the ultimate incentive to make a purchase … the chance to get a full or partial rebate on their purchase if your selected driver takes the checkered flag.
