Quote:Revel hits rock bottom?
My wife has been to Revel several times, and plays a lot of slots. She got an offer for free rooms, any night of the week.
I was there exactly twice. The day after the soft opening, and on a Friday night this past Spring. On both occasions, I played a little at table games, no slots, and several hours of poker. I got an offer for free rooms, Sunday thru Thursday.
Mind you, Revel closed their poker room, so I don't know why I'd be going there except for the free room.

What is the intersection of people who:
1. Want pie
2. Don't already have pie or plans to obtain pie
3. Want to gamble in a casino

Who is going to get this postcard and say to himself, you know I was going to play at Caesar's but I think I'll head to Revel for that pie?
The value of an apple pie is $4. It's not worth stopping at Revel to pick up a pie.
The only possible way this promotion makes sense is if you live closer to the Revel than you do to anywhere that sells pie. And even in that case you have to want pie.

Yeah, and that's totally the Revel's (un)stated target demo...
Quote: sodawaterHere's what I am saying: Apple pie is not hard to get. It's $4 at the supermarket. Anyone who wants pie, already has pie.

Don't forget the $5 parking fee that we commoners would have to pay for that $4 pie.

I'd just like to point out that, with all this talk of pie, now I kinda want some pie. And I don't have any pie.

These all describe me. I'm way too lazy to go out and get pie.
Now, if there was a pie delivery service.... I'd be all over that. Pie for days. mmm.... pie.
So I guess the moral of the story is if you offer free crap there is a segment of the population which will come by just to pick it up.
That's why you are phatQuote: djatcI ended up with 5 pies in my fridge during the Thanksgiving week. 2 pumpkin, 2 apple, and a coconut cream pie I grabbed from the Palms.

She's terrible!! I know who you're talking about. She screech/sings at you that Jesus loves her in some screechy singsong voice but only when someone walks near her.Quote: chaunceyb3I'm going to pick up my apple pie and give it to that lady singing on the boardwalk.
By the way, the point of this thread was to note how far Revel has fallen from its opening days as a snooty "destination resort" -- and now they have "resorted" to handing out apple pies at their box office to drum up penny slot business.

Someone give a pie to the guy who wants to be kicked in the nuts. It's the holiday season, after all. Then kick him in the nuts.

Pie, pie, pie ... the operative word is not pie. The operative word is FREE.
Now, I'll admit... its hardly worth the slightest concern, but for those who need an excuse ... the word is "Free".
Quality. You have to want pie of unknown quality, as opposed to a more distant, good pie.
Distance. Mom's delicious pie is closer, but Mom is always after you about the gambling, and you have to spend time visiting to get pie.
Storage. Good pie has a short shelf life. Really good pie is still warm. Assuming you must take possession of said pie at the beginning of your visit, what provisions are made to hold the pie at the gaming table?
Delivery. From personal experience, pit bosses frown upon the consumption of food items (donuts, bagels, pizzas, ribs, takeout dinners, etc.) not provided by the casino, at least at the lower denomination tables I freguent. Pie, provided by the establishment, might qualify as hospitality that can be enjoyed while gaming.
Spillage. Have you seen what happens when someone spills a drink on a blackjack table? Pie is less liquid, but it is an eating experience more prone to...
Sanitation. Ever try to remove pie from playing cards?
The casino also has an exposure here. A photo of said pie is provided. I am reminded of a movie with Michael Douglas as it's main character, who went beserk and at one point pulled a gun on a McDonald's server, demanding that he be provided with a meal that looked like the one pictured on the menu board. Hmm... We need to calculate the odds of a member of the gambler class being prone to such behavior. Higher than average.
H17, S17, DAS, ES. ACS. 6D, 8D. And now... FP or NP (Free Pie, No Pie).
I think they may have hit on something, if they can work all this out.

This whole thread and this post in particular made me squirt tea out of my nose. Ok, not really, but's it's been good for a chuckle. When I got the free pie postcard I just laughed and put it in the pile of casino mailers. But the committed members of this forum went the extra mile. Kudos to you all.
Yeah, at the Venetian or Palazzo... otherwise no casino wants quality or a pie by a famous chef other than perhaps Mrs. Smith.Quote: onenickelmiracleThat would be a good promo offering a pie which is really good, but people deny themselves from having because they can't justify the additional cost.

I'll take a shot at this. You...
1. Swiped your Revel card at the kiosk
2. Got the 100X Resort Dollar multiplier
3. Played $5 9/6 video poker until you earned the maximum number of eligible Resort Dollars ($200)
4. Hit a $20,000 royal flush
5. Collected $20,000 in base and bonus Resort Dollars
6. Asked Scott Kreeger if he needed a job on your way out
How'd I do?

Why not? It is an American Pie and it is free. You can use it for many different purposes.
