I have signed up for a players card in my hotel room via their TV advertisement and got the application for great canadian rewards on my phone.
Upon getting to the rewards desk I was greeted nicely and I got issued my card within seconds upon showing my ID and I span the wheel and won a nice prize plus a complimentary 10 dollars for slot machines. I got additional 15 dollars via my email that I can use 2 weeks later I believe.
Dealers were pleasant and knowledgeable as well especially a roulette dealer that I had a chat with.
The new attached hotel is also amazing. Stayed a few times and it's very spacious and modern, great overall location too. If you can get it on a cheap sale, it's definitely worth it.
