Binion’s and Four Queens
As immediate returns go, All Access, the players club used by Binion’s and Four Queens, is the best for video poker players and near the top for slots. Players receive both cash back and comps that may be used for hotel rooms. Slot players receive 0.5% in cash and 1% in comps. Most video poker games return 0.3125% in cash and 0.625% in comps. Some full-pay machines have lower payouts. Mailers are also available for free slot play, food, and hotel rooms.
South Point
South Point has one of the best players clubs for video poker players. Points return 0.3% for these players. That turns the best game, 16/10 Deuces Wild, slightly positive, and gets 9/6 Bonus Poker Deluxe and Jacks or Better close. Slot players get the same returns. South Point also mails free play and hotel offers to players.
Rio Rewards
Rio needed a new players club when it left Caesars Entertainment in October 2024. It introduced Rio Rewards. Slot players receive 0.8% in free play or comps on their action. Video poker is a typical 0.1%. However, electronic and live table games also pay points. Rio mailers are generous with free hotel and other offers.
Rampart
At first glance, Rampart Rewards does not appear all that generous. It only pays 0.1% on video poker and 0.2% on slots. It is tough to get out of the bottom tier. However, other benefits make up for this.
Tourists can get tier upgrades for access to the Summerlin Room. Free slot play mailers are among the best based on the level of play. Food comps are earned alongside slot points. Players must ask the players club for these comps.
Emerald Island and Rainbow Club
This one is for locals. Emerald Island and Rainbow Club are in downtown Henderson. The same company owns both casinos. Each has a quality cafe. Active players get daily free meals and 50% off coupons that may be used with slot points. Local businesses like car detailers, bars, and restaurants also accept slot points from these players clubs. Merchandise may also be purchased with points. Daily promotions include wheel spins, four of a kind, and handpay bonuses.
Both casinos offer 99.5% up to 100% video poker that awards full points. Unfortunately, mailers do not include free slot play. All perks are related to food and promotions.
National Players Clubs
Players who enjoy traveling to casinos should give action to national casino chains. These programs tend to be worse than the Las Vegas locals and downtown casinos mentioned above. However, free hotel rooms are often easier to get, especially on weekdays and during slow tourism seasons.
In our experience, even with the downgrade in benefits, Caesars Rewards edges out MGM Rewards for ease of earning hotel comps. However, based on reports, that opinion may depend on the player. Also, Caesars Las Vegas hotel rooms and dining options are typically inferior to MGM ones. High-limit players will likely prefer MGM Rewards over Caesars Rewards.
Caesars Rewards tip: If you want to play a good game for Diamond tiers and a nice mountain getaway, visit Harrah’s Cherokee in North Carolina. The $5 video poker is available in 99% and better games like 16/10 Deuces Wild, 9/6 Bonus Poker Deluxe, and 9/5 White Hot Aces.
Another good option at Harrah’s Cherokee is video Ultimate Texas Hold’em. Video poker pays full slot and tier points. However, electronic Ultimate Texas Hold’em requires $20 per point, as opposed to the standard $10.
Most other chains offer poor slot point returns and don’t have the same hotel and dining selection Caesars and MGM have. In 2023 and 2024, Boyd Rewards won Vegas Advantage’s worst players club award. Video poker and table game players earn tier points so slowly that it is nearly impossible to move up. Theoretical loss is the basis for tier points. The smaller the house edge, the slower tier points are awarded. However, Boyd Rewards gives players at any tier mailers with free slot pay and other perks.
