About Prairie Band Casino & Resort
Owned by the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, Prairie Band Casino & Resort was the first full-service casino in Kansas and is located on tribal land only 15 minutes north of Topeka.
To get a complete understanding of the past, present and future of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, watch the Tribal History Videos. For more information, visit the official Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation site.
The Opportunity
Located in northeastern Kansas, Prairie Band Casino & Resort has many loyal fans of the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs, and college fans of the University of Kansas Jayhawks and Kansas State University Wildcats, and many more teams and players.
Did we mention that the property has a nationally recognized golf course and probably a bunch of golf fans, too?
What better way to engage fans than with free-to-play sports promotion prediction games for the big games that customers watch on property, or at home and in their favorite bars when they're not at Prairie Band Casino & Resort?
The Sports Promotion Marketing Solution
Together, we planned and launched a custom-built marketing program that included:
- Free-to-Play Microsite at https://prairieband.chalklinegames.com.
- Full integration into desktop and mobile websites at https://www.prairieband.com.
- Transactional email templates that drive clicks to the casino website.
- Social content for easy promotion on Prairie Band's Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
- Real-time access to player data through Chalkline’s BettorAnalytics tool.
Our mobile-first web games are easy to play:
Now that Chalkline is up and running, we maintain momentum with the Prairie Band team:
- Chalkline’s content & communications calendar with Big Sporting Events.
- A meeting or two every month to optimize and plan big promotions.
- Regular reporting and analysis check-ins to ensure the numbers are up and to the right.
Our Three Favorite Wins from the Partnership
1. Launch was quick and easy.
Our mobile-first approach was welcomed by the team, and by players in initial testing.
The Prairie Band team immediately jumped on the opportunity and together, we had a test site up and running in a few weeks.
After a week of testing, we received internal approval and were live.
2. Prairie Band team’s idea for a December Monthly Contest.
We LOVE this idea to drive month-long engagement through big sports events in December. Players seem to love it, too!
3. Big Local Promotions
We love the graphics that drive clicks to the localized promotions on social!

KU vs. K-State contest on Instagram:
Bonus: Easy App Integration
Chalkline's easy app integration makes this a no-brainer for omni-channel marketing.
