Splash pot promo, 1st time I have seen this

My first time at a B/M in Tucson I stopped at the Diamond Casino Poker Room and the floor is tossing chips in the pot. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I sit down in a game and they do it at my table. Come to find out they pick a football game, assign a team to odd/even tables and when the team scores the house 'splashes the pot' with chips. It looked like half a rack of the denomination of choice for the game at hand. $50 for 3/6, $100 for 6/12 ($2 chips) and so on. The game in question ended with the score being 42/45 when I left. There were 8 touchdowns scored in about an hour, 5 of them for 'my team' just during the short time I was there. By the 5th 'splash pot' everyone at the table agreed to call the blind and check it down.

Are there any other interesting promo's out there in B/M land?

They do the same (similar) thing at Casino Arizona. If you play on the weekends during football season nobody is paying attention to their cards, always watching the football scores.

Winstar does things like this

$100 splash pot every hour on mondays btw certain hours
Aces cracked get a rack ($100) on tuesdays
High hand every hour gets $100 wed and thur I think.

I think their promos would be way more successful by giving away shots or 6packs but what are you going to do. Cant even imagine how the donks would play if they could actually drink there.
