| NicksGamingStuff Member since: Feb 2, 2010 Threads: 43 Posts: 631 | I think there was a thread for this elsewhere, but I cannot find it. Anyway I got a post card from Sho Ka Wah Indian Casino in Hopland, CA. The offer was " As a valued member of the players club, we're offering you a slice of birthday cake to help you celebrate!" Yes it was in bold |

Woo hoo! C'mon, say it with me: Woo hoo! A few years ago, a package arrived as we were walking out the door. It was a chocolate mousse birthday cake from Borgata. We stuck it in the fridge since we were walking out, and ate it when we got home a few days later. Mighty tasty! Oh, yeah... We were heading to Mohegan Sun when it arrived. Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown.
But how much does it cost to knock on wood? |

Mohegan Pocono gives the player a cake on his/her birthday, and it's a damn good one. Big enough for 4-6, candy chocolate icing over whipped cream, white cake. NO KILL I |

| NicksGamingStuff Member since: Feb 2, 2010 Threads: 43 Posts: 631 | Yeah, but it isn't a slice of cake! I was hoping they would give you the amount of free play per your age, thats what I would do if I had a casino, but it would be on the day of your birthday only. |

I wish they would make the offers via email only. I think the printing and postage and personnel to handle such tasks are all a waste of money if the casino is not going to make some sort of substantial offer. My local Indian casino had specials that were absurd and some people who treked there for them simply turned around and left when further details became known. I don't know why casinos annoy their customers with garbage offers? Its not as if the casino has to give away a convertible to everyone but if they are going to give away anything, they should at least give something of value. No use offering these One Dollar in Freeplay stuff. I wonder if the casino employees ever received such offers wouldn't they be upset and insulted by all this trumpeting about "free" ThinNThat. |

Man, I wouldn't take that slice of cake if only because I wouldn't know where someone's hands had been. I do think that's pretty much a rock bottom offer. NO KILL I |

| Wavy70 Member since: Nov 3, 2009 Threads: 15 Posts: 822 | Not the lamest but perhaps the most dangerous. Foxwoods has been e mailing me $20 freeplay offers for the following day. The catch is these come out just before we get hit with a major blizzard where the Governor is asking people to only travel if absolutely necessary. "It might be cold and dangerous outside but our slot's are Hot, Hot, Hot. I have a bewitched egg that I use to play VP with and I have net over 900k with it. |

| DJTeddyBear Member since: Nov 2, 2009 Threads: 105 Posts: 5714 | Wait a sec... Did the offer really say that? I'm guessing not. It takes at least a few days for printing and mailing so it might just be bad timing... Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown.

Ouch. It sounded like a good idea that the Marketing department meeting, but the execution leaves much to be desired:  |
