Did Ellis Island Keep up with Its VGK Shot Promotion?

With the Vegas Knights scoring 7 goals in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals, was Ellis Island able to keep up with the free shots every time they scored?

As everyone knows by now, the Vegas Golden Knights took home the Stanley Cup by winning the Finals against the Cinderella Florida Panthers.

During that series, Ellis Island tied a few promotions, including a free VGK jersey and free beer for wearing VGK gear on game nights. And one was a free shot for everyone when the VGK scored a goal.

To answer this question, we went to our long-time EI connection and friend, president Karen Dorsey. She got the word from Denise McDonald in casino marketing, who wrote,

"You know it 😎! Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots for EVERYBODY! 🥃🎵"

In our experience, unlike a lot of casinos that flub the logistics and/or details, when Ellis Island puts on a promotion, they do it right.

Not to be outdone

Station Casinos awarded, every time the VGK scored a goal, .02 in free play. Only for Super Platinum and higher. Only one award per game. The free play had to be redeemed within five minutes after the end of the game. Not usable on video poker.
Give You the Boyd Casinos gave players, for every goal scored, one drawing ticket to win a roll of Vegas Golden Knights commemorative toilet paper. (It was called the "Win and Wipe" promotion.)
MGM gave people who mentioned "Vegas Golden Knights" ten cents off parking fees. For Ultra Plutonium players only.
CET gave customers who mentioned "Vegas Golden Knights" at the front desk a good hard punch in the face. "It's what we do," said Caesars general manager Gutboy Barrelhouse.

Promotion and Kevin

The awards looked crappy and I didn't think to look who posted it. About half way thru, didn't need to look, I knew 🤣  On the Ellis sgot promo, thebway the Knights were scoring in the last game, they barely had time to finish one round before they needed to start the next. Bet there some very elibriated customers that night.

Kevin's response about Station

$.02 cents per goal?  You're giving Station Casinos too much credit.  It's far more likely they'd give a worthless "charm" that pops upon the game screen when you insert your card.

No need to mention others

Hooray for Ellis Island!! And why even name anyone else? Celebrate the good. Ignore the rest.
