Innovative Promotion Out of New Zealand
It takes a lot to get many gamblers excited about the land gambling industry –
with online casinos on the rise and the costs of living sky rocketing because of
the global economic conditions, the land gambling venues are looking for
innovative ways to keep the land gamblers excited about the offers, promotions,
and special deals that are thrown their way if they head out to the land
casinos. For Christchurch Casino, a new promotion targeting engaged couples was
quite successful in drawing some attention and even having nine couples compete
in the promotion in hopes of winning a sponsored wedding and a honeymoon package
from the casino.
The promotion was specifically catered to currently engages poker gamblers who
were interested in having their wedding completely paid for (if not a bit last
minute though) with a complimentary trip to the States for a week of fun on the
Las Vegas Strip. The casino hosted the poker competition over the weekend and it
only took two and a half hours for Hollie and Perry Vogel to win the final hands
– and then just a couple hours later the casino had arranged for the couple to
say their “I do’s” in the wholly sponsored wedding ceremony – then off to gamble
away their honeymoon in the land gambling capital of the world at one of the top
resort hotels and casinos, the MGM Grand.
The winning couple were originally planning to wed in the autumn (that would
have given them time to plan out some of the details) but that was not the case
once they had this offer on the table from Christchurch casino – with the
economy as it is, a free wedding is something you just can’t pass up. |
