California Casino Insures Swipe, Play and Win Lotto Promotion

Thanks to Odds On Promotions, casino promotions just got a whole lot… bigger! Take it from this California casino who insured Odds On’s new lottery-style Swipe, Play & Win promotion, The Big Draw, to increase foot traffic, attract new players and keep them on their property for an extended period of time!

During the 3-month-long promotional period, every Wednesday and Saturday, players had to the opportunity to participate in the casino promotion 4 times daily! All they had to do was swipe their players club card and choose 6 lotto balls (numbered 1-60) on the game’s touch screen.

Fun fact: The Big Draw has a “quick pick” feature which will select your six picks for you. You can also switch out the balls you’d like to select by simply clicking one of the six at the bottom to put it back and then reselect.

After making their picks, each player collected a drawing ticket which displayed their six chosen numbers, the date and time(s) that the ticket was valid for, as well as where the live drawing would take place. If one player managed to match all 6 of their chosen numbers on the ticket with the numbered balls that displayed at the time of the drawing, then they’d win $100,000… and Odds On would write the check!

While unfortunately, no one won the insured prize, there’s still a ton of great news: a guaranteed $100,000 prize was given to one lucky player at the end of the promotion! Smaller prizes were also handed out to players who managed to match a lesser amount of numbers: 3/6 numbers landed players $10 in free play; 4/6 numbers would give players $100 cash and 5/6 numbers meant a $1,000 cash progressive.

Lucky List Promotion Insured By Mississippi Furniture Store

Want to move some merchandise during your February President’s Day sale? Check out how this furniture store in Mississippi increased business on Black Friday with a Lucky List promotion!

Lucky List Promotion: A New Year, New Room Giveaway…

During the promotional period, customers who entered the client’s furniture store had the opportunity to put a list of 8 numbered furniture items in the order of their choice, using Odds On’s handheld verification unit. If the number they entered matched Odds On Promotions‘ preselected numerical order, then the customer would win all of the furniture items on the list: a sofa, love seat, coffee table, lamp, end table, entertainment center, rug and recliner… totaling $10,000 and paid for by Odds On!

According to Odds On’s Damien Anderson, who works with a number of furniture store clients, “One way to ensure success with a Lucky List promotion in the retail environment is to build a large vignette featuring all of the items you are ‘giving away’ as part of your promotion. This way customers can not only get a good look at what they’ll be winning, but it ensures immediate engagement. I also recommend awarding auxiliary prizes to customers who come close to getting their lists in a winning order and, of course, including the promotion in your advertising.”

Insure a Grand Prize Dice Roll Promotion

Are you a retail business looking to increase foot traffic to your location? Are you a casino property looking to increase play and keep players at your location on a notoriously low-traffic day? Or maybe you’re a radio station looking to generate excitement among a crowd at a local remote. Whatever the case may be, a dice roll promotion is definitely right up your alley!

Odds On Promotions’ dice roll promotion is extremely simple to insure and run. First, you’ll decide on a prize amount to insure for. Keep in mind, you can give away anything you’d like – it doesn’t have to be cash! Whether it’s an entertainment package, brand new vehicle or an all-inclusive vacation package, Odds On will insure your prize… up to $1,000,000, in fact!

We will then customize a set of 1″, 4″, 8″ or 16″ dice for your promotion, depending on your preference. Then you get to decide what word individuals will need to roll for (i.e. B-U-I-C-K, W-I-N-N-E-R, M-I-L-L-I-O-N). Or, if you’d rather, you can have individuals try to roll all of the dice with your company’s logo displaying face-up.

When your contestant rolls the winning combination of symbols, they’ll be an instant winner… and Odds On will write the check for the insured prize amount! What’s more? Odds On Promotions will include a poster advertising your dice roll contest, as well as a sign-in binder for all of your contestants where they can write down their information before the big roll.

In addition to the materials Odds On will supply you with for your dice roll promotion, it’s also a smart idea to create your own flyers (see images for example). Have them announce the name of your contest, the date it will be taking place, how much prize money is at stake, as well as any other information and/or graphics you’d like to include. Distribute them to as many people as possible. The more you get the word out there about your grand prize promotion, the more likely you are to have an amazing turn-out!

Let Odds On Promotions help you achieve your desired sales and traffic goals. Let us know if you’re interested in a free, no-obligation quote by giving us a call today at 888-827-2249. You can also email us at any time with any questions!
