Mandalay Bay $500K Poker Invitational

I received this offer from MB offering -

"To reserve your complimentary suite accommodations and a seat in the tournament, please contact your Marketing Executive"

Has anyone been to this type of event? What do they mean by paying you in promotional chips? Kinda like free play? I'm interested .. it's free lol.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!

 

Darn.... no takers...with any info...
well, I found out promotional chips means "free bet/play" they give you $500,000.00 promotional chips that you make bet on table and you must win then you can cash them in! Regardless if you play $500k even you cash out say $100k that would be so freaking awesome!!!

 

can you bet them all at the same time? 500k on red?

 

Um probably not and maybe you shouldn't lol in one hand in red? C mon I rather put it on baccarat it's rather safe the. Red or black (because of zero) anyway, suppose to only for up to 100 or less and since it's free I'm considering going who knows I may have chance lol. And it's Texas No Limit Holdem which I haven't played in a while lol.
I been reading upon your postings... good games you got!!!
