Island View
gets top nod
for rewards
GULFPORT — Island View Casino Resort in Gulfport was recently ranked No. 1 in the country by Casinos.com when it comes to
rewarding their
players.
“At Island View
Casino Resort
we are always
trying to give our
players more
reasons to stay
and play with
us,” said Rick
Carter, co-owner Rick of Island View
Casino Resort.
“We are devoted to our guests, and this is one more example of how
we put our players first. We are absolutely thrilled to be recognized for this honor.”
Casinos.com recently published
an in-depth analysis of words and phrases associated with rewards
on TripAdvisor.com to determine which U.S. casino offers the best
to their players. They calculated
the percentage of rewards-related mentions in the total TripAdvisor reviews, using keywords such as member discounts, loyalty program benefits, player rewards, comped rooms, free play offers, exclusive VIP treatment promotions, redeemable points, and member discounts. Casinos.com found the reviews of each casino based on those mentions and ranked them from top to bottom to distinguish which casinos offer the best rewards in the business.
One review gave prospective players some excellent advice, saying, “This is what I tell everyone: come play one time, give your email, and wait for all the good offers to arrive; you will not be sorry.”
Another stated, “The rooms are nice, being a new hotel. It’s easy to earn free nights and upgrades — we got offers the first time we played there.”
