For the last two months Station Casinos has included a glossy magazine, twenty-something pages, in the R-J newspaper and in many of the regional issues of the free weekly View that comes in the mail. There is a page or pages for each Station casino, including descriptions of entertainment and/or food choices and coupons for that particular casino. 

On one page near the back, there are 4 coupons that can be used at any Station casino. One is for bingo and another is for a mystery gift. But the most valuable two are for 5x points on any day of your choice and an “Up to $25 Match Play.” 

However, if you didn’t get one of these Station magazines, you are not out of luck. The whole magazine is online, including all the coupons. And although some of the coupons state that “reproduction or copying of this coupon is strictly prohibited,” the casinos are accepting coupons you print out from this “official” online copy, even though they come out very light and look very “phony.” (Click on the coupons to make them bigger and then click on “enlarge” to increase the size even more. However, I still had to get out a magnifying glass to read the fine print on these.)  

All coupon redemptions require a Station players card and they expire July 31. The bingo coupon limits are “one coupon, per person, per day.” The match play and 5x coupons state: “Valid at property of choice, one time, one per guest.” However, at least some of the casinos are interpreting this as one per day, just like the bingo coupons. I’ve had no problem using match play coupons, printed off the Internet, several times already this month, at the same casino, even though they sometimes have previously swiped my card. Brad and I use the match plays on blackjack, but you can use them on any table game that offers an even bet.
