Harrah's Rincon just changed the rules for its Million Dollar drawing.
Harrah's Rincon just changed the rules for its Million Dollar drawing on New Year's Eve.
Back on March 1st, I reported that Total Rewards and others at Harrah's Rincon confirmed to me that the single winner of the one-million dollar drawing on New Year's Eve was not required to be present to win.
You can see that report here: http://vegascasinotalk.com/forum/showth...illion+dollars
That is true and did not change. The winner does not have to be present to win.
However, in the mail today I received my invitation for the New Year's Eve party and hotel stay at Rincon and in fine print I see something that tells me there is a new rule.
The small print says that there is an "activation" for the million dollar cash drawing from 6-AM on December 23 until 6-PM on December 31. That's a surprise. Until I saw this -- and since it was confirmed that the winner need not be present to win -- I thought that every Total Reward player at Rincon with at least one tier point scored was entered in the million dollar drawing. Now, unless you are at the casino to swipe your card on those dates you are not entered. See the photo below. (You must be registered on our Forum to see the photo, registration is free.)
The reason why management said the winner need not be present is that there just isn't enough space in the casino to allow for all players to be present. Now, is the reason for the "activitation" a way to limit the number of players eligible for the drawing?
Also note that the cut-off for the activation is at 6-PM on New Year's Eve which could keep some late arrivals from swiping their cards.
And in the invitation for New Year's Eve there is no mention of any other drawings. Back in the spring, I was told that in addition to the million dollar drawing there would be other "drawings" during the night.
