ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (July 5, 2009) – A coconut craze will take over Tropicana this summer! Tropicana is giving Diamond Club members a new reason to say TGIF giving away up to $25,000 every Friday for 9 weeks! Tropicana Casino & Resort announced the $250,000 Crazy Coconuts summer promotions beginning Friday, July 10.

Every Friday, July 10 through September 4 Diamond Club members will have the opportunity to play the Crazy Coconuts game on the kiosks. Everyone’s a winner! Members will pick eight cards from the kiosk screen and for every coconut card they reveal, they will be rewarded with EZ Promo Slot Dollars up to $25,000! Then, on September 6 there will be a grand prize drawing for all the Diamond Club members who participated in the promotion. Members will receive one entry into the drawing for every coconut they found throughout the summer – the more they play, the better chance of winning!

In addition to the promotion, Tropicana will also feature the following crazy coconut specials and discounts during the Crazy Coconuts event:

Plus, while on property, take some time to stop and smell the coconuts! Tropicana’s signature coconut fragrance is now breezing through the hotel and casino. Now Tropicana is bringing even more of the Havana feel right to Atlantic City with a refreshing and unmistakably island aroma. Blending scents like coconut, vanilla, warm toasted nuts, cinnamon, zesty spice, banana and exotic White Flowers created the scent exclusively for Tropicana.

“The Tropicana scent continues to embody the Havana theme that has been such a success on property,” said Mark Giannantonio, president and C.O.O. of Tropicana Casino & Resort. “Tropicana is a very distinctive brand that allows us to create fun events like the Crazy Coconuts and build an atmosphere that can capture the true spirit of Havana and whisk our guests away to the tropical escape they desire from the moment they step inside.”

Diamond Club cards are free and can be obtained by visiting the Promotion Booth on the casino floor. New members can receive valuable offers from our Havana Passport to Savings including many of the Tropicana’s retailers and dining establishments, free parking and more.
