A Strip casino’s attempt to lure in new customers with the enticement of free gambling worked a little too well, and the resort has already pulled the plug.
Treasure Island hotel-casino said Thursday that its $200 free slot play giveaway is over. The promotion was advertised to run through Sept. 7.
From the start of the promotion on Monday, long lines gathered at Treasure Island to sign up for a player reward card, which was needed to receive the free slot play. By Tuesday afternoon, guests were waiting upwards of two to three hours. On Wednesday, there were reports of people standing in line for over five hours.
