The Silverton has done a major overhaul of its players club including giving it a new name (Discovery Ultimate Club) and introducing several club tiers (copper, silver, gold, platinum and diamond). The basic formula is unchanged; members earn one point for every $1 coin-in and every 500 points equals one comp dollar (except at the Bass Pro Shop where 1,000 points equals one comp dollar). All new members get a copper level card. Those earning 5,000 points within six months (Jan. 1 June 30 and July 1Dec. 31) advance to the silver level and receive special family and friends room rates, an invitation to a quarterly appreciation party, plus free concert tickets and dining discounts. Gold members (25,000-plus points in six months) can take advantage of host privileges and VIP check-in, while platinum members (100,000-plus points) are treated to a twice-a-year gift program and restaurant line passes. Diamond (400,000-plus points) members get private jet access among other top-level privileges. Once a member attains a level, they can enjoy the benefits through that period as well as the following half-year.

Both the Plaza and Vegas Club are giving away jackets to players earning 4,000 points ($4,000 coin-in) by Nov. 30.

Earn 1,250 points ($2,500 reels, $5,000 video poker) at the Rampart on Mondays and receive a free leaded crystal jewelry tray or vase. Earn 750 points on Wednesdays and Fridays (except this Wednesday) and get a fleece pullover. Earn 50 points on Tuesday and get a free apple pie or 50 points on Wednesday for a free pumpkin pie. No point redemption is required for any of these giveaways, but there is a limit of one gift per player per day.

Coast Casino members get double value for their points when they use them to purchase restaurant meals Monday through Thursday at Barbary Coast, Gold Coast, Orleans and Suncoast. The Club is also offering point redemption discounts for show tickets, hotel rooms, movies, and bowling.
