If you are into to casinos and gambling like me, then I’m sure you have heard of the Caesars Total Rewards Promotion Game that they are running to celebrate the new branding and features of Total Rewards. If you haven’t, then I will give you a brief synopsis.
Basically you are given a slot-machine type spin and get a gaming piece. You can win three ways, you can be entered into the long-term sweepstakes, you can get an instant win, or you can get a game board piece. If you get a game board piece, it’s in one of six categories. Fill up 8 pieces from any given category and you win a prize.
Something happened with the game a few weeks ago, however, and it appeared that no one was winning any instant-wins or game board categories. No matter how many spins you tried a day (your max is 11, using codes), everyone was getting 11 entries into the long term sweepstakes. A click on the Recent Winners link showed that there were no recent winners.
This changed again last week as it appears that some people are now winning Instant Wins and are allowed to complete the Dining category, but no other prizes are showing in the Recent Wins area of the site. So what’s the point of me telling you all this?
I got into the game early enough that I was able to complete three categories before the well went dry: Dining, Entertainment, and Hotels. For Dining I was given $25 in food and beverage to use at any Caesars property. Since I was already planning on going to the Horseshoe in Hammond, Indiana, I decided I would use some of my credit on a drink while I was there.
There was one major flaw in my logic. In the Midwest, most states don’t allow the casinos to comp alcohol for play. This includes the Total Rewards points. I didn’t think of that wrinkle, so when I went to the bar they could put the money towards non-alcoholic drinks or food, but not a beer. It’s not the casino’s fault, but it’s something that people should be aware of.
At any rate, I keep playing the Escape to Total Rewards game every day, hoping to finish my last few lines. We will see if they release any more prizes in the near future. For now I’ll pile up Sweepstakes entries and hope to hit it big. After all, if I’ll gamble to win big, why not try for free?
I’m glad it’s not just me! I won $30 in TR credits and a $10 Home Depot gift card all on March 10. I don’t think I’ve gotten a game piece since then, nor has my husband. A whole lotta entries though — I’m sure to win!
Haha, no it definitely isn’t just you. Good luck with the sweepstakes!
I have been getting nothing but drawing entries for the past 2 weeks. I have not won a single prize yet. this just tells me that this is a scam.
I don’t think it’s a scam, I think they flat out ran out of instant and board prizes. The rules seem to show that the game might reset on April, 1. I guess we’ll see.
So far I’ve completed two categories, gotten a crapload of sweepstakes entries and won a $20 Best Buy ecard and a $15 Macy’s ecard (What can $15 buy you at Macy’s, a pair of socks?) and all of these (except the Best Buy ecard) were won in the last week. I’ve gotten bored with it, and didn’t even do it yesterday.

I guess I’m not alone at being disgusted with this harrahs total escape game. My board was filled up a week ago and all I get on spins is sweeps entries. good luck. angry in phila pa
I have now won 67 entries and no prizes what gives.
where are the codes ?
Each Caesars property has a unique code on their Facebook pages that changes daily
I’ve been using the same codes each time I play. Mmmm, maybe that’s why I’m not winning?!?!?!
I am in the same boat
My DINING is finished
ENTERTAINMENT, HOTELS, GAMING, LEISURE all have 1 to go
NIGHTLIFE needs 2
I am have three digits worth of sweeptsakes entries
I have all but one game piece in each category. Just loading up on sweepstakes entries since the last category got to one away. It’s free so I’ll keep spinning hoping to fill in that last square in at least one category.
