LoneStar Casino Brings Two Nights Of Parties And Prizes To Austin During Race Weekend

LoneStar Casino staged two nights of events in downtown Austin on 23 and 24 October, combining music, prize competitions and branded activations during the city’s Big Race weekend.

The programme began with a party at The Studio on East 6th Street on Friday, 23 October, followed by a second night of activity on Saturday, 24 October. Both events ran from 8pm to 1am.

The activation featured six hourly leaderboard competitions, technology prizes, a DJ area, branded vehicles and a wider promotional presence across Austin.

Six Leaderboard Competitions Offer Technology Prizes

LoneStar hosted three leaderboard rounds each night, starting at 9pm, 10pm and 11pm, for six separate competitions across the weekend.

Each round operated as a standalone Spin the Wheel leaderboard competition. Eligible registered players received five free spins to use in any round. Registration for a LoneStar account was free, and no purchase was required to receive the spins.

Additional eligible spins could also count towards the relevant leaderboard under the official rules, with qualifying spins competing on the same leaderboard.

The five highest-scoring eligible players in each round qualified for tiered technology prizes. These included a headline smartphone prize, Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, AirPods 5, Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 cameras and Loop Experience 2 earplugs.

The promotion was not sponsored, endorsed or administered by Apple, Meta, Fujifilm or Loop.

Winners were determined using LoneStar’s platform records when each round closed. They were required to claim their prizes in person within the applicable claim period. Participation was limited to eligible guests aged 21 and over, subject to the full terms and conditions.

Music And Branded Experiences In Downtown Austin

The events featured a dedicated DJ area, a venue bar and LoneStar-branded screens. The DJ hosted the leaderboard rounds, introducing the competitions and announcing winners throughout each night.

A LoneStar neon installation provided a backdrop for photographs and social media content, while hosts welcomed eligible guests and helped them register for the activation.

Two LoneStar-branded vehicles were also positioned on East 6th Street, providing a visible presence around the event and another focal point for guest and creator content.

Eligible registered guests who met the relevant requirements could also take part in a ride-along through downtown Austin with a professional driver, subject to waiver requirements and the applicable terms.

Citywide Promotion Extends Beyond The Events

LoneStar’s activity extended beyond the two nights, with a fleet of 10 branded pedicabs operating across Austin throughout October, including during race weekend.

The pedicabs operated around downtown during the weekend, extending the brand’s presence beyond the event venues. A LoneStar billboard also ran from Friday, 23 October, through Monday, 26 October.

Austin-based creators took part in the activation, producing content focused on nightlife, lifestyle, luxury, automotive culture and the wider city experience. Additional local micro-creators were invited to attend and share content from the events.
