Millions In Play At Gulfstream …

Creative Racino Cross Promotion …

This January during the eighth annual running of the Sunshine Millions™ – one of thoroughbred racing’s richest and most exciting events – Gulfstream Park gave race fans an added incentive to play in their casino with a little help from Odds On Promotions.

Every hour from Noon to 9pm, the casino randomly selected a lucky casino player and gave them the chance to win $1,000,000 using Odds On Promotions’ Lucky Envelopes games. If a player could select a winning combination of three envelopes that added up to $1,000,000 they’d take home the prize and Odds On would pick up the tab!

According to Odds On Promotions’ Casino Rep Bob Milinkovic, “Customized gameboard promotions are an ideal way for racinos to increase foot-traffic and maximize slot play on major race days. One of my favorites, Place, Show, Win The Dough … is perfect for tracks because of the racing theme; however, this one also works as a great floor promotion for casinos – as well as for bars – during the Triple Crown – the Derby, the Preakness, the Belmont Stakes – and of course, the Breeders Cup.”

Barton County Community College Foundation Flushes Out New Donors

Sporting Clay Shoot Helps College Triple Grant Funds

Great Bend, Kan. – To raise money for their faculty mini-grant program, the Barton County Community College Foundation (BCCCF) held a sporting clay shoot featuring the chance to win a John Deere Gator ATV, sponsored by Great Bend Farm Equipment and Randy Hayden, President of the Alliance Insurance Group.

“We were looking for a new fundraiser. We already do a golf tournament and have a very successful auction,” explained Darnell Holopirek, executive director of Institutional Advancement for the BCCCF. “This event touched a different group of people and based on the response, we’ve clearly tapped into something.”

To incent participation and encourage early registration, the first 100 registrants were eligible to win the $10,000 Gator ATV, paid for by Odds On Promotions, if they could score a 100. While no one achieved the grand prize winning score of 100, a few shooters came close, with one scoring a very impressive 95.

Considered golf with a shotgun, the shoot took place at the LaSada Sporting Clays Club and drew a total of 143 participants – 43 more than the first year making it the second largest event in the state. The event also raised $7,800 for faculty mini-grants, which was three times the amount raised during the first year.

According to Randy Hayden with Alliance Insurance Group, “I’ve been working with Mike Maloy with Odds On for a few years now. We’ve done several good promotions – a dice roll for a Harley, a Prize Vault, and golf. This one was really well received. And I understand it was a different audience that the college wouldn’t have normally connected with.”

Season…of…Fortune!

This Fall, club members at the Grand Sierra could play in a daily FREE slot tournament featuring a $777 Free Play prize pool, then, every Saturday the casino held a weekly drawing for all the daily slot participants where 77 winners each received $100 in free play. Then, on December 19 the casino held a Grand Finale Qualifier Tournament where 27 Lucky Players got the chance to win $777,000 in a simultaneous “Lucky Envelope” contest that took place on the casino floor on December 20. While no one took home the $777,000 grand prize, the casino awarded multiple cash consolation prizes to all of the participants.

Sales Rep Tara McClure: By offering players a daily free chance to win, followed by a weekly chance, leading up to a “Grand Finale” giveaway, the casino effectively drove traffic and kept players engaged at every turn. I really liked that they held the final giveaway on the casino floor, where new players were sure to be asking … “How can I get in on the winning?”
