FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 18, 2004
FIESTA AMIGO CLUB CARDHOLDERS NOW HAVE JUMBO JACKPOTS
Las Vegas- Fiesta Rancho and Fiesta Henderson today announced beginning
Sunday June 20, the Amigo Club Cardholders are able to win the same Jumbo
Jackpots available at its sister Station Casino properties. Both properties
will now have their own Jumbo Jackpot meters, which start at $50,000 and must
hit by $150,000.
Fiesta Henderson and Fiesta Rancho offer all of the hottest new products in
slots and video poker. Any player, regardless of if they carry an Amigo Club
Card, can try their luck at winning jackpots on the machines the Fiestas
offer. But Amigo Club Cardholders have an added benefit. The Jumbo Jackpots
at the Fiestas, which can reach $150,000, can only hit an Amigo Club Card,
not a machine.
The Jumbo Jackpots at the Fiestas will replace the Grande Jackpot card
feature. "Although Grande Jackpots of up to $5,000 were very popular to
Fiesta customers, there was a lot of interest by our customers to see mega-
sized Jumbo Jackpots at the Fiestas," said Steve Cavallaro, Chief Operating
Officer of Station Casinos, owners of the Fiesta properties. "We're excited
to now offer Jumbo Jackpots to Amigo Club Cardholders, we think it will make
playing at the Fiestas even more exciting," he said.
There have been 53 Jumbo Jackpot recipients since the card benefit's launched
April 1, 2003 at the six Station Casinos. Boarding Pass cardholders have
been awarded nearly $6.5 million in Jackpots and bonus cash. And since June 1
alone, there have been three Jumbo Jackpots awarded for $144,687, $135,300
and $125,228 at Boulder Station, Santa Fe Station and Palace Station,
respectively. Now, Amigo Club cardholders get their shot at winning Jumbo
Jackpots, too.
And that's in addition to all the other benefits of card membership, such as
the option to redeem club points at eight different locations, over 85 dining
options where points can be redeemed, and the Xtra Play Cash feature which
puts free slot credits right on the card while playing. Cardholders can earn
up to $1,000 every month in free slot play for using their card.
The Jumbo Jackpot gives customers playing slot or video poker machines at the
company's six Station-branded properties in the Las Vegas area with a
Boarding Pass card inserted into the machine or with an Amigo Club card at
the two Fiestas a chance to collect a bonus jackpot of up to $150,000, paid
immediately in cash. The Jumbo Jackpot can hit at any time, at any place,
regardless of how many coins are played.
