Description
Instant win tickets are called different
names in different areas. Here are a
few: Pulltabs, break opens, bingo tickets,
pickles, instant games, paper slot machines and rip offs. The author will use
pulltabs as the reference for instant win tickets.
Throughout the years of working as a
department manager for pulltab operations, many questions were asked of the
author on successful pulltab sales techniques.
The Insider’s Guide Instant Win Tickets gives pulltab player’s
tips and techniques to winning more often and gives the entrepreneur a “How-to”
guide for setting up and selling pulltabs.
The book helps curve the frustration of implementing new pulltab
operations by giving a step-by-step guide through procedural processes.
Pulltabs have preset payouts. There is a definite payout amount and a
definite profit amount. A pulltab player
should know the odds of winning. With the author’s formulas, pulltab odds of
winning can easily be determined. Games
of skill like poker and blackjack require research to maintain odds in the
player’s favor. Pulltab players need
research to keep odds in their favor. A
house’s edge is hard to decipher. With The
Insider’s Guide Instant Win Tickets, gamblers will calculate the odds of
winning pulltabs. With behind-the-scenes
operations, the player will increase odds for a big win.
Gambling has steadily increased over the
years. With the Native American casinos
in the majority of U.S. states today, pulltabs have gained popularity. Overall sales have increased for casinos when
pulltabs were introduced. The casino’s
with a variety of gaming devices have succeeded in keeping their customer’s
happy. With this in mind, many lottery
states have introduced a line of pulltabs to feed the public demand.
The most popular instant win ticket is the
scratch off ticket. Even though the
prize concept is the same as a pulltab, the main difference is how the prize
amount is revealed. Scratching off a
thin coat of wax, compared to pulling a cardboard paper window. In The Insider’s Guide Instant Win Tickets,
the author included a comparison chapter on scratch off tickets.
Instant win tickets all have the same style
of play. They are a straightforward
style of gambling. In gambling
establishments, pulltabs compete for play with other well-known forms of
gambling devices like bingo, slots and blackjack in casinos worldwide. U.S. lottery states have pulltab divisions to
increase the overall profit margin. With
scratch-offs, lotto numbers and multi-state lotto’s, state lotteries do not
have the advertising budget to promote pulltabs as a mass media event.
Pulltabs are a great fund raising tool for
charities and organizations that need a profit.
Pulltabs were once restricted to bingo parlors and available for sale
only at charity fund raising events.
Today, they are widely available at bingo halls, taverns, festivals and
lottery outlets. Pulltabs have general
knowledge status in the gaming world. Moneymaking opportunities do not go
unnoticed.
Native American casinos have introduced the
pulltab to the high stakes gambler looking for an odds-in-my-favor device. Changing the amount of winnings and adjusting
to the customer’s demand has made pulltabs an odds edge game in knowledgeable
players. The key word is
knowledgeable. Many gamblers do not know
the odds for pulltabs, so they play randomly and lose on a consist basis. Selling pulltabs has made the author more
aware of player’s needs. Being on the
for-profit side has created a “how to” dilemma in getting the knowledge out to
players.
The Insider’s Guide Instant Win Tickets
will give the gambler the knowledge, whether novice or professional, the know how to win more
frequently when playing pulltabs. In
addition, the entrepreneur or new management personnel in gaming can utilize
this book as a guide to implement a sales department. The author included chapters on “security” and
“inventory control” to keep the integrity of pulltab sales honest.
