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!

Hockey Contest Worth $25K Car Insured at NHL Game

hockey contest - red line shootoutHey everyone!  Need to put together a hockey contest that’s sure to increase fan excitement, boost sponsor recognition and be a real ‘win’ for all parties involved?  I have just the thing for you — a red line shootout promotion!

What made this specific hockey contest unique, however, was the qualifying aspect.  Fans in attendance were asked to guess how many hockey hats and helmets were contained inside of a vehicle on-site at the game.  The three fans who guessed closest then had the opportunity to come down onto the ice and each make a shot from behind the red line, into a designated target opening.

If any one of the three fans successfully made the shot into the target opening, they would have won the vehicle — a brand new Acura, valued at approximately $25,000 and paid for by Odds On Promotions!  While unfortunately, no one was able to make the shot, there was still a fabulous turn-out and the sponsor definitely received the recognition they deserved!

Basketball Contests Insured at Trade Show Event: $55,000 In Prizes!

basketball contests - a trio at the trade showPlanning on attending an upcoming trade show event?  Looking for a fabulous promotion idea — or better yet, multiple promotion ideas?  Zak Woodhead, Risk Manger with Odds On Promotions, is here to encourage you to check out the basketball contests that this Home Builder & Remodelers Association (HBRA) in the Northeast insured during a trade show event!

During this two-day-long promotion, the HBRA insured a trio of basketball contests: a half court shot contest, a series shootout promotion and a three point thrills contest.

During the half court shot contest, one attendee was selected at random to make a basket from the half court line.  If they ended up shooting and scoring, they would have driven home in style… in a brand new vehicle valued at $35,000, paid for by Odds On!

Another random attendee was selected to participate in a series shootout promotion, in which the lucky attendee got a total of 25 seconds to make a lay-up, a shot from behind the free-throw line, a shot from behind the three-point line and a shot from behind the half-court line.  If all four prize shots were successfully made within the allotted amount of time, then that particular attendee would have been an instant $10,000 winner… again, compliments of Odds On.

Finally, a third attendee was selected to participate in the three-point thrills contest.  The attendee had 25 seconds to make ten shots, five of which were three-pointers, from various locations on the basketball court.  If they succeeded?  Another $10,000… and Odds On would have written the check!

While unfortunately, there were no winners, fun was had by all.  Interested in insuring multiple basketball promotions of your own?  Interested in any other sport(s)?  Give Odds On a call today at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote.  You can also email us with any questions you may have!

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!
