Holiday Promotion Idea for Casinos: 12 Days of Winning Gameboard

Casino Properties: Looking for a holiday promotion idea? How about insuring a casino promotion on 12-12-12? Odds On Promotions has the perfect idea for you — our “12 Days of Winning” Lucky Envelopes promotion, featuring this larger-than-life gameboard!

Give players the opportunity to win $12,000 (or whatever insured prize amount you choose) in your very own game show environment with this professionally designed game board! On 12-12-12, select 12 lucky players (via raffle, hot seat, or any manner you choose) to participate in Odds On’s “12 Days of Winning” Lucky Envelopes promotion.

Players will simply choose 1 envelope from a window on each “house” for a total of three envelopes. If the lucky player is able to collect 3 matching inserts contained within the envelopes, they’re an instant winner and Odds On will pay for the prize! Alternatively, you can also insure this promotion as an “add ’em up” contest, where players must select 3 envelopes which contain inserts that add up to a particular dollar amount — for example, $12,000!

Want to further customize your gameboard and get more of a “real” effect? Feel free to add your own snow, Christmas lights, etc. once your gameboard is set up… and don’t forget to award your players with complimentary auxiliary prizes if they manage to choose a lesser number of winning envelopes!

The “12 Days of Winning” gameboard is sure to be a big hit at your property this holiday season! Give Odds On Promotions a call today at 888-827-2249 or email us for a free, no-obligation quote.

Casino Insures $50K Thanksgiving VSW Tablet Promotion

Casino properties, are you looking for a “portable” and easy-to-run promotion that can be themed around virtually any holiday or major event? Then you’ll appreciate this creative application of one of Odd On’s Video Scratch & Win games!

During November, two casino properties in the Southwest will be insuring a Thanksgiving-themed Video Scratch & Win promotion, Cornucopia of Cash, on a hand-held tablet!

Here’s how it works. After a club member is randomly selected, a casino staff member will bring the hand-held tablet game to the player at their gaming position. If the player manages to pick 6 “lucky” cornucopias on the game’s touchscreen, they’ll win $50,000, compliments of Odds On Promotions!

According to Evelyn Golding, Southeast Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions, “I find the hand-held tablet games to be an extremely versatile and fun promotion for casinos. I actually have a casino property that has a host dressing up in a different Halloween costume every Tuesday and Wednesday and bringing the tablet right to their lucky “Hot Seat” winners to play for the big money. The player never has to leave their seat so the casino has no loss of ‘coin-in’ and players enjoy the promotion because they feel so lucky being ‘the chosen one.” I think it works well for casinos because along with the game, the casino can also customize the faceplate that surrounds the game. For example, the casino property I’m working is using a pumpkin faceplate because it matches the theme of the game they are using, “Lucky Pumpkin Pick.”

Chris Gardiner, Northeast & Midwest Business Development Manager with Odds On notes, “These hand-held tablet games are a very affordable way to bring a “winning experience” to a large number of players on the casino floor. You can award the “Hot Seat” winner a play on the tablet, then give the person to their immediate left and/or right the chance to win as well. With more people participating, it really enhances the sense of “winning” on the casino floor! What’s more, due to its unique consolation prize capabilities, casinos can dictate the quantity and types of secondary prizes so they don’t go over budget.”

Brent Kelly, Northwestern Business Development Manager adds, “For me, these tablet games are a fun and easy way to bring some bling to the Pit because they are quick playing and easy to operate.”

With the upcoming release of the new James Bond movie, SkyFall, on November 9th, 2012 (as well as Global James Bond Day on October 5th, 2012), why not have your casino staff dress up as secret agents and run a “007” themed promotion!

Whether it’s our SafeCracker Swipe, Play and Win promotion or a custom game board, your casino property is sure to draw a crowd with this fun, out-of-the-box themed event!

Or, if you’re in the Media industry, randomly select qualifiers to participate in an olive toss promotion where they’ll have to toss an olive into a martini glass after running a month of on-air qualifiers at the movie’s local premiere! Perfect for bars/restaurants as well!

Casino Insures Million-Dollar Monday Night Football Promotion

Are you ready for some football? This northwest casino property sure is!

Every Monday night of the NFL season, the casino will be insuring Odds On Promotions’ Lucky Envelopes promotion, featuring a custom game board. To qualify, players need to sign-up during a pre-determined timeframe. Players can qualify for additional entries every Monday based on the number of points earned on their player’s card. If their name is the one announced that Monday evening, they’ll be the one participating in the million dollar promotion!

Here’s how the promotion itself will work: The “football player” will be placed on the 0-yard line located on the left-hand side of the game board. The player will then choose 4 our of 25 envelopes which are displayed on the game board. The inserts within the envelopes contain varying yardages which will advance the player across the field, toward the end zone.

If the total yardage of all 4 envelopes chosen adds up 100 yards (i.e. touchdown) then the player will be an instant $1,000,000 winner… and Odds On Promotions will pay for the prize!

And here’s a bonus: The casino won’t be letting the players leave empty-handed for playing! If the total yardage amount of all 4 envelopes ends up being less than the 100 yards needed to win the insured $1,000,000 prize, then the player will choose 1 of 3 additional envelopes provided. The yardage inside that lucky envelope will be multiplied by the total yardage achieved to determine the cash prize which will be awarded to the player! Additional cash prizes and football merchandise will also be awarded throughout the day.
