Casino Arizona will attempt to capitalize on the superstition surrounding the number seven this Saturday.
The casino will be holding a 7/7/07 event tomorrow night in which a car with $77,777 in the trunk will be given away.
From lucky rabbit's feet and lucky numbers to lucky slot machines, Ric Hartman, with Casino Arizona, says he knows all about gamblers and their superstitions over the number seven.
"The superstition goes back for I don't know how many years," he said. "I've read about it and I'm continually marveled about what people think about seven."
One of the over 800 people who qualified for the car drawing has been consulting a fortune teller.
"Leading up to this promotion on Saturday night we were giving away $7,777 away seven times a day, twice monthly," he said. "One day this guy won three [times] after he'd been to the fortune teller. So he won $21,000-plus right there."
Hartman says the fortune teller has told the man he'll also win the car.
The casino, located at the Loop 101 and McKellips Road, is planning several events to coincide with the car drawing, which takes place at 7:07 p.m. The deadline for entering the car drawing was June 26. |
