Horseshoe Toss Promotion Insured by Payment Solutions Company

Ready 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!

Trade Show Promotion: $50,000 Deluxe Zoom Ball

Not able to attract as many attendees to your trade show booth as you’d like? Wondering what you can do to amplify the “Wow, what’s going on over there?” factor or make your pre-show mailer even more enticing?

Odds On Promotions teams up with a variety of clients who run booths at trade shows… including a chemical company in Michigan who recently attended a liquid waste, sewer and drain cleaning-based trade show.

During the trade show event, the chemical company ran Odds On’s Deluxe Zoom Ball promotion, which managed to catch attendees’ eyes and pique a lot of interest. Here’s why: All weekend long, each attendee that visited the client’s booth got the chance to win a generous grand prize!

All attendees had to do was was press the magical red button on the Zoom Ball machine with the goal of collecting six orange-colored balls into the machine’s “Zoom Zone.” If they did, they would have scored $50,000, compliments of Odds On Promotions!

What better way to attract a crowd than to offer an attention-grabbing prize? Zoom Ball is just one of the many trade show promotions we have available to our clients; however, the combination of the colorful LED lights and flying balls, makes the Zoom Ball impossible to miss!

Louisiana Casino Insures Million Dollar Zoom Ball Promotion!

Hey everyone! One of my clients is at it yet again: using Odds On’s prize coverage to increase traffic and play at their location!

This time, one of my Louisiana casino properties will be insuring Odds On’s Zoom Ball promotion. Not only that, but they’ll be running the contest for two whole months, giving players an increased chance at winning the big bucks! Check out how the promotion is going to work, as well as the grand prize that’s at stake this time!

This Louisiana Casino Sure Knows How to Run a Winning Promotion… and Here’s Why:

During the two-month-long promotional period, players will be given the opportunity to approach the Zoom Ball machine and get the ball rolling (or balls, rather!) in attempt to win one of several amazing prizes. Players simply press the red button which activates the “ball blower” on Odds On Promotions‘ Zoom Ball machine, then watch to see how many orange-colored balls land in the machine’s “Zoom Zone.” While 6/6 orange-colored balls are required in order to win the insured grand prize, this Louisiana casino knows exactly how to run one heck of a promotion… by awarding players a variety of prizes regardless of how many winning balls they manage to get!

0/6 balls will automatically land the player $5 in free slot play.
1/6 balls will score the player $25 in free slot play.
2/6 balls means $50 in free slot play for that player.
3/6 balls lands a lucky player $100 in free slot play.
4/6 balls scores a player $250 in free slot play.
5/6 balls… $500 in free slot play for that player (woo-hoo!)

And at long last, here’s the answer to the question that you’ve undoubtedly been waiting to read about: What happens if a player manages to get 6/6 orange balls into the Zoom Ball machine’s “Zoom Zone?” Well, would you believe me if I told you that they’d be a $1,000,000 winner, paid for by Odds On? That’s right — Odds On Promotions will pay out one million dollars to any player who, during the 2-month-long promotional period, manages to collect 6 orange balls during any day the promotion is running! Talk about one generous grand prize! And the best part of it all is that Odds On’s prize indemnification insurance relieves the Louisiana casino of the risk of pay-out!

Did you know that Odds On’s Zoom Ball promotion also allows for multiple colored balls to be used? It’s true — just contact us for details, as well as a free, no-obligation quote, at 888-827-2249. You can also email us for more information! We’ll help you make the most of your next casino promotion with one of our hottest-selling promotions this year: Zoom Ball!

Invited Guest Casino Promotion: $25K Lucky Envelopes Contest!

Looking for a great promotion to insure during an invited guest promotion at your casino property, which will increase play and traffic? Evelyn Golding, Southeast Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions, is here to tell you about an invited guest casino promotion from a property in the Southern U.S., which recently held a Lucky Envelopes contest worth some major moolah!

VIP Lucky Envelopes Promotion

On the specified promotion date, a total of 2,250 invited guests (Player’s Club Members) received a chance to reach into the casino’s “prize barrel” and grab one of Odds On’s Lucky Envelopes, which contained a free slot play amount ranging from $5-$500. Among all of the envelopes were five special “Looney Cash” envelopes, each of which contained a special insert.

The five lucky players who got one of the five special inserts, then got the chance to participate in the insured Lucky Envelopes promotion, complete with a custom game board!

Each of the five lucky players got to pick 2 out of 25 envelopes displayed on the game board. If the two envelopes they chose ended up containing matching grand prize winning symbols, they would have won an instant $25,000… paid for by Odds On Promotions!

I love this particular promotion, especially since the casino opted to up the ante, giving each of the five players who participated in the insured promotion a chance to win the $25,000 grand prize. Theoretically, if each of the five players were to have chosen the two lucky winning inserts, they each would have received the full prize value, which would have meant a grand total payout of $125,000!
