Casino Marketing Idea: 6-Player Simultaneous Dice Roll Promotion

casino marketing idea - 6 person simulatenous dice roll

Need a great casino marketing idea?  Have you considered a dice roll promotion?  Check out what this casino property in the Southwest has in store for their players: a 6-person simultaneous dice roll contest!

Unlike a traditional dice roll promotion where a group of players each get to roll a set of a customized 1″ or 4″ dice for a chance to win cash and prizes, in this casino floor promotion, six players will each roll a single customized 8-inch die, all at the same time. (Talk about a crowd pleaser!)

Casino Marketing Idea of Month: Get On a Roll

According to Becky Bowman, Western Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions, “I love this spin-off on the traditional casino dice roll promotion because every time you run the promotion, you’re giving six players the chance to win.  And because it’s a dice roll, it’s easy to award  auxiliary prizes.”

“For example”, explains Bowman, “if the one winning side/surface of the die contains your property logo and the other 5 sides contain a number of dots, the casino can hand out cash, free play or points to each participating player depending on the how many dots their die displays once they’ve rolled. And, of course if they roll the name of the casino, it will be time to write the big checks, compliments of Odds On’s affordable prize coverage.

Wondering how the prize money is at stake in this contest? This casino will be giving each of the 6 lucky “rollers” $25,000, for a total of a $150,000!

Fishing Promotion Gives One Contestant a Chance to Reel In $100K

fishing promotion - fish for a cure

Looking to “lure” more attendees to your next fishing tournament and “reel in” fundraising dollars in the process?  This Maine nonprofit organization did exactly exactly that by insuring a giant prize fishing promotion during their “Fish for A Cure” event!

On the specified promotion date, anglers at this fishing tournament helped raise funds for cancer research with a state record weight contest.  1,000 anglers were given the opportunity to catch a “grand prize” Northern Pike in any/all bodies of water throughout the state.  All anglers who caught Northern Pike would weigh in their catches at the scales at the end of the tournament.  If one of the Northern Pike happened to beat the current state record weight of 31.2 pounds, they’d win $100,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions!

While unfortunately, no one ended up managing to beat the state record, money was still fundraised to help fund cancer research and much fun was had by all of the anglers that day.

Tourney TIP: Want to make your fishing derby a “reel” win/win?  Incorporate a giant prize promotion into your next fundraising fishing tournament, and have the  insured prize split between winning angler and the charity of your choice, 50/50! 

Of course record weight promotions don’t only have to be insured by state — Odds On can also insure a world record weight promotion of your choice!  Just give us the species you’d like to cover, and we’ll put together a quote on the promotion — it’s free and no-obligation!

Number Match Promotion Valued at $50K Insured at Boat Show

Participating in a large event, such as a trade show?  Why not incentivize attendees to visit your booth by insuring a grand prize number match promotion with Odds On Promotions, like this Florida boat dealer did at their local boat show!

number match promotionHere’s exactly how it worked: the client’s local newspaper printed 10,000 inserts for distribution in the Sunday paper prior to the boat show.  Each insert contained a unique 6-digit number.  Readers who attended the boat show would present their newspaper insert and use Odds On’s handheld verification unit to enter in their 6-digit number.  If the number they entered ended up matching Odds On’s preselected 6-digit number, then that lucky attendee would have scored $50,000… compliments of Odds On Promotions!

While unfortunately, no one managed to guess the lucky number, traffic was still increased to the boat show and the promotion generated much excitement among attendees!

basketball promotionNeed a fun and unique basketball promotion idea in celebration of the “Madness” that occurs every March?  Then you’ll just love the Lucky Pick contest that a casino property in the Southern U.S. will be insuring!

Score Bucks Lucky Basketball Pick Promotion

Every Friday night, all month long, players will have a chance to participate in the promotion. Once selected, a lucky player will get to select a ball from a  “Lucky Bag” that holds 20 basketballs — 10 labeled with the word SCORE and 10 labeled FOUL.

Each SCORE ball will land a player a cash prize  which will accumulate until/unless a player draws a FOUL ball — then it’s an automatic game over. However, if a lucky player draws all 10 SCORE balls without coming into contact with a FOUL ball, they’ll win the insured grand prize of $1,000,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions!

Lucky Envelopes Promotion Insured at Ice Fishing Derby

lucky envelopesJust because its the middle of winter doesn’t mean you can’t run an amazing fishing event!  Check out how a  Wisconsin insurance agency recently assisted a local fishing derby by giving  participants a shot at winning the big bucks in an ice fishing derby Lucky Envelopes promotion, insured by Odds On Promotions.

Here’s how the Lucky Envelopes promotion worked: 4 lucky contestants of the ice fishing derby, chosen at random, were selected to participate in the Pick ‘Til You Win-style Lucky Envelopes promotion, in which each of the 4 individuals chose 5 lucky envelopes.

5 Lucky Envelopes Could Have Meant a $10,000 Payout…

The 4 contestants each started with 35 envelopes, opening one envelope at a time, unveiling one of three different prize symbols, representing three different prizes. The first prize symbol drawn five times would be the prize the lucky contestant would walk away with.  If a lucky angler managed to select the five Lucky Envelopes which contained the matching grand prize symbols, then they’d win an instant $10,000… paid for by Odds On Promotions!   Did we mention that each of the 4 participants of the promotion each had a chance to win the insured prize?  Yep, there was a total of $40K on the line!

Although unfortunately, no one managed to score the $10,000 grand prize, it was still a winning day for participants because  the event featured over $16,000 in guaranteed prizes, including cash and ATVs!  (Talk about a great example of “doing it right” when it comes to a grand prize promotion — after all, no one likes leaving empty-handed!)

Interested in insuring a Lucky Envelopes promotion of your own?  Whether you’re holding a fishing tournament, a different sports event, a trade show or need to drive traffic to your store… Lucky Envelopes are the perfect promotion to insure any place, any time!  Just give Odds On Promotions a call today at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote… or email us for more information!  We look forward to hearing from you!
