Columbus casino bribes players with a COVID-19 vaccine

Never once in this lifetime has there been anything like this - a casino offering free slot play money if you get vaccinated for COVID-19 during a special event. And not just one, but two if you’re up for the Pfizer doses. The Columbus, Ohio, Hollywood casino has made a rather strange deal for players due to the low vaccination rate in the area.

You may have heard the phrase, “you cannot win a lottery if you don’t buy a ticket.” While that is true, the pandemic prompted a Lottery that requires no purchase and receiving a vaccine automatically qualifies individuals to participate in auto-enrolled opportunities to win money, scholarships, and other generous prizes.
