These are always fun. Riverside and the Pioneer have done them over the
years. I have hand it to Marnell-Sher, they try something new about every month.
I buy "sale beer" for my household, whatever is the deal of the week. So I
would value a sixer of Coors at about $3.75 with tax included in Arizona.
Playing Bonus Poker and getting a quad every 424 hands or $530 coin-in that
puts a premium of .7%+. Sure beats a 125 coin COD.
Now there always has been a blackmarket for 6-Pack promos in Laughlin. But
just how much hassle will determine the discount factor. Will the coupons be
transferable...anyone can redeem? I am assuming a central distrubution point
like the other casinos have implemented recently.
I still laugh at how things worked at the Pioneer in the mid-90's. The floor
person actually brought the sixer right to your machine for hitting a quad.
The cases got piled high throughout the casino.
Aquarius just ran a bogus 12-pack of Coke promo. I hope they pay attention.
