How to Become a My Club Rewards Member
Step-by-Step Enrolment
Membership in the My Club Rewards program is free and processed in person at Guest Services. Registration takes a few minutes and grants immediate point accumulation on the floor.
To join, a guest should complete the following steps:
- Go to the Guest Services desk on the gaming floor.
- Present valid government-issued photo ID confirming age 19 or older.
- Submit an email address to claim $5 in free play (new members receive a further $5).
- Collect the My Club Rewards card and begin earning on slot and table wagers.
Once issued, the card is inserted into the slot machine or handed to the dealer so play is tracked. The card is tied to the cardholder and should be retained for redemption on future visits.
Earning and Redeeming Points
Points accrue on eligible slot and table play and convert into free play, dining credits, and member-only offers. Higher tiers unlock dining discounts and event invitations. The program runs across five levels: Rewards, Silver, Gold, Elite, and Ultra.
Slot Machines and Betting Limits
The floor holds more than 400 slot machines, including video, stepper, and keno formats, from penny play up to high-limit terminals. Wagers range from $0.01 to $5, and units use ticket-in, ticket-out (TITO) technology so funds transfer between games without coins. Cashing out produces a printed voucher redeemed at a kiosk or the cashier cage. Titles on rotation include Wheel of Fortune, Dragon Link, Lightning Link, Lightning Cash, Buffalo, Mystery of the Lamp, Lock It Links, 88 Fortune, Blazing 7’s, Money Link, and The Price is Right. Progressive jackpot units sit alongside classic three-reel cabinets.
Table Games, Electronic Terminals, and Poker
Poker Room
Poker is dealt as No-Limit Texas Hold’em in cash and tournament formats. A standard tournament runs Thursdays with a $75 entry, while a $125 tournament is scheduled on the last Thursday of each month. Tournament play typically starts at 6:00 PM (Eastern Time) with set starting chips and a defined late-entry window.
Live Tables
The pit features Blackjack, Three Card Poker 6 Card Bonus, DJ Wild Stud Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold’em, roulette, baccarat, and Mississippi Stud Poker. Electronic terminals replicate Blackjack (with side bets such as Lucky Aces, 21+3, and Lucky Lucky) and Roulette for guests who prefer digital play. Chips are bought with cash at the table, and dealers assist newcomers with rules and betting.
