PLAYER'S EDGE:
Texas Station contest has three ways to win
Through March 31, Texas Station pit players can earn three-ways-to-win "Scratch-N-Score" cards at their favorite table games. The first part of the card is for an instant prize including cash up to $1,000, food comps, gaming chips or gifts. The second part contains a letter, and when you collect all five and spell TEXAS, you win $1,000 cash. The third part of the card is an entry ticket for the $2,000 cash drawing to take place March 31 at 7 p.m. in the pit. See the rules posted for how to earn scratch cards at the various games.
The Riviera is introducing a year-end gift program similar to other ongoing promotions offered at the MGM Mirage properties and The Venetian. April 1 through Dec. 18, all Players Club members will automatically earn a Mad Money Shopping Spree dollar every time they earn one Advantage Buck ($200 coin-in on slots, $400 coin-in on video poker). Mad Money can later be used to purchase all sorts of merchandise Dec. 14-18.
