Greektown Casino-Hotel "Drops" Hundreds of Prize-Filled Wallets Around Detroit

DETROIT, Oct. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Metro Detroiters are getting lucky all over the city thanks to Greektown Casino-Hotel's Wallet Drop promotion.

Guerilla street teams have been hitting everything from ballgame tailgates to lunch-hour spots in Campus Martius covertly "dropping" wallets containing $50 in Bonu$ Play for the casino and a voucher for a free one-night stay at the hotel for anyone who discovers them.

In addition, any winner who redeems the wallet at CLUB Greektown is entered to win the VIP Grand Prize package of a two-night suite stay at Greektown Casino-Hotel, a suite for 10 at a Detroit Lions or Red Wings game, bottle service for 10 at Eclipz Lounge and dinner for two at Bistro 555.

"This promotion is an exciting way for us to invite Detroiters to come experience all the amazing new things happening at Greektown," said Greektown Casino-Hotel CEO Mike Puggi. "And as the casino in the heart of the city, it's a fantastic way for us to thank Detroiters for their energy, excitement and support."

The casino is currently undergoing numerous renovations and updates. Some of the most recent additions include the new Super Pit table games area and THE FRINGE sports and video poker lounge.

Each of the wallet-drop winning moments is captured on video and is available for viewing online. To check out the latest footage and finds, visit: www.youtube.com/greektowncasinohotel
