Revel's Loss Rebate

#1

This promo is very friendly for the casino. Players who lose--which is most players--get to try again on the casino's terms. But if you happen to win $10,000....$20,000....even $50,000 or more: Many players would be very happy with that sort of profit, and they would go home. But now, they're tempted to play on. And what usually happens to those who win and just want to win more?

Stay away from this.

Revel, in Atlantic City, is offering players 100% of their slot and video poker losses from July 1-31 up to $100,000. The rebate comes in the form of free play over 20 or so visits. This is a HUGE player-friendly promotion.

This promotion has more to do with the Revel staying relevant. AC may have too many casinos right now and if the sales go through to Penn, Pokerstars and other rumored parties, Revel stands to be unprofitable and alone with no feeder casino and no sugar daddy to keep them going as a loss leader. Unless they can quickly steal and keep some whales, assorted asian games players and the locals, they are done.
Advantage players have been thinking about this and even from the kiddie table where I am, I hear some interesting ideas floating around.
There is lots going on here at different levels don't look at it only as VP.

Rob,

I try to keep an open mind to your posts but this one just doesn't make sense to me. So, I go to Revel, play a bunch and win $10,000. Why would I be tempted to play more? Now, losing $10,000 has no benefit to me. Their promo is getting you in the door to take another look at their casino. If I could this promo every month of the year, I'd quit my day job tomorrow. Maybe today.

I don't see how this is a casino friendly promo. If you decide to play, set a loss number and a win number. If I win $10K, I stop. If I lose $20K I stop. Simply as that.

The only issue I have with the promo is that it is spread out over so many weeks. If I lived in AC, this is a must do promo. Even if the best game is 6/5 JOB, I would play. Not because it is a casino friendly promo but because I can greatly limit my downside risk with no corresponding limit on upside gain. What else do you want from a casino promo?

I would think they are a bit torn about anything attracting the Chinatown traffic. The minimums are a bit high for most bus people, too.

The noodle bar is open and prices are reasonable.
