February Promos CB/EW

My wife and I have earned multiple tickets several times at both
properties. Never checked at the players club to verify we were
awarded additional entries - assumed it was automatic. Still haven't
had our names drawn.

Be aware: CB drawings consist of one monetary award per day ($1000);
remaining five awards are for a stuffed animal. EW prizes are $1000
and five $50 free play awards per day.

CB/EW breakfast and lunch buffet promotion prices (m-th) have
increased by $1 - now $2.99 and $4.99.

Wife and I each got a 2x points multiplier on our (locals) March
mailer - good Sunday thru Thursday all month, I believe.

Unadvertised promotion: CB and EW both have two cards-of-the-day. A
quad of either card will win a free bobble-head doll (while supplies
last). Posted rules say nothing about denomination or max-coin. I saw
one awarded at a .05 machine.

Thanks Tom for a locals perspective. Not many of the locals chirp in on the
group.

As a local do you get room offers in your mail for CB/EW (any anywhere else)?

So you don't have to swipe to activate your drawing tickets? That is why I
asked about have many names drawn does it take to give away the prizes. I
assume the Grand Prize is the first award.

I am just trying to put a value on a drawing ticket. They have done the
paper entrys in the past and I estimated 600 tickets on a weekday drawing.
Collecting and filling out tickets does not interest some players, I imagine an
electronic drawing will have alot more participation. It is all an educated
guess.

I valued the Monday Night Football drawing at 3% in added value for a couple
of visits. I would be happy with a tenth of that to help the cause in
February.

So you get 2X points. Does that count on the good games too?

Thanks,

We're "locals" in name only (just a PO Box for the winter months we're
in town). We're some of those "dry-campers" you personally dissed a
couple years ago (see message #1162).

Yes, we get free room offers at the casinos we visit regularly; CB/EW,
Pioneer, Aquarius, Tropicana Express (but never from the River
Palms). Mostly when times are slow and rooms are abundant since we are
"low-rollers" by most measures.

You don't need to be present for the CB/EW drawings; the winning names
are posted until late afternoon the next day.

I don't know about 2x points on the good games - didn't really play
any of those. No limitations were mentioned on the mailing.

You might also be interested in Pioneer's Feb. promotions too:
4-to-the-royal, 3x points, and card-of-the-day - 2 of the 3 combined
on some days. How would you value 4-to-the-royal (100 coin bonus) and
COD (125 coin bonus) on the same day? About .3%?
