“With DataSpade, we have experienced an explosive growth for all three casino bases and also unified the brand under a centralized card program.
The Coin In and BounceBack programs produced a high return-to-property rate, both weekly and monthly (in excess of 70% at all three casinos), that spurred growth and increased advantage over our neighboring competitors in all markets.”

“Cliff Castle Casino implemented the Data Spade Bounce Back program in 2013 and immediately saw an increase in revenue.
We were amazed at the high redemption rate and were skeptical that it would continue.
Over two years later we’re still seeing higher redemption rates than usual
Working with the Data Spade team is like having an additional analytical department at the casino.”
Rojelio Rubio | Marketing Director | Cliff Castle Casino Hotel
“I was asked to share our successes with DataSpade with you.
First of all, if you were a competitor in our market, I would not share the following information with you.
As far as I am concerned, I want this program to remain a secret.
Our success with the DataSpade’s BounceBack Program has performed exceptionally well.
Our goal was to get an offer immediately to a guest that had a large ADT at one of our casinos.
The results exceeded our highest expectations.
For example: In one month DataSpade mailed out approximately 8,500 bounce-back coupons, ranging in value from $10 to $150 to guests based on a very conservative 3% of Daily Theoretical Win with a minimum coupon value of $10.
OUR RESULTS WERE AS FOLLOWS:
-
We had a 53.6% Return Rate.
-
For every $1 we spent on prizes, we had an increase in revenue on the day of redempton of $9 from the guests that redeemed coupons.
-
When we included all of the associated costs of the program (postage, printng, cost of Dataspade, etc., we achieved a $5 to $1 return.
-
Even if 50% of the revenue was atributed to cannibalizaton of a trip they were going to make, we stll made $2.50 for every $1 we spent.
-
Increase in Revenue and Net Income for the property was realized immediately.
While before go-live with the bounce-back program, our revenues and net income were lagging behind prior years.
This changed the frst month of utlizing the system.
Since go-live, not only have revenues increased, but the fow-through to EBITDA (Operatng Proft) has increased as well.
Specific reasons we went with DataSpade
-
Our current slot reporting software company didn’t have a solution to back out “rewards” we provided to players, we found we were over-comping our bottom group.
In reality, players were actually becoming tiered players, vesting only a minimal amount of their own funds.
In other words, their worth was over-exaggerated as the system was not backing out our investment from their theoretical value.
Through DataSpade, this analysis was complete and player reinvestment percentages have come much more in line.
-
The key to the success of this program was to provide “instant” reasons for guests to make another trip.
DataSpade accomplished this through automatic next day mailings; we added to the trips and reduced cannibalizing other trips by implementing quick expiration date on the reward.”
By all means, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
