E-mail from Station casinos: On Columbus Day, October 10, “discover” bonus points: $1=6 points on video poker and 10 points for slots. Available for all current Boarding Pass members and all new sign-ups, at all 18 Station casinos. Swipe at any kiosk to activate your bonus point play.
Added an hour later, a valuable comment from a reliable source:
The problem with these bonus point days is that people refer to them as “6X points” or “10X points.” They are not. When you get 6 points for every dollar played on video poker, that’s really 2X points, since you otherwise would get 3 points. 10 points for every dollar played on slots is, in actuality, 3.34X points. It’s going to take some time for people to understand this.

Yep, it IS going to take time for people to understand this new Stations slot club. I wish that they had made it a little simpler. I like $1 coin-in equals one point. Easier for all of us who are math-challenged!!!!
i agree jack, soooo true
As I have said before. U can get 1 point for $1 but the big but is how often u win. If u are not winning the pts are meaning less!!
I DO get it. That’s why I have spent a lot of words trying to explain it to those who might be confused. I have compared it to other local casinos and given EV’s you can compare. No sense in being 100% negative – that doesn’t help anyone and certainly won’t make the Stations “change their minds.” I try to look at it in a balanced manner, just giving facts and explanations so each player will be able to make an informed decision.
Don’t you get it.
THEY DON’T WANT you to UNDERSTAND!
If you did you would understand this new club reward system is almost the same as all the others nearby.
They want it to seem like THEY are the best slot club in town.
They prey on the mathematically challenged. That is the focus of the whole campaign! A really great idea.
Wonderful marketing plan to all basic math dropouts!
