BConnected players club
BConnected players earn one point for every dollar wagered at slots and $2 at most video poker games. Players may exchange 600 points for $1 in comps at food outlets owned by Boyd Gaming. This includes ones at other casinos owned by the company. Free play may be redeemed at a rate of 1,000 points per dollar.
Ruby players do not earn any points. Tier points must be earned to achieve Sapphire and higher. One tier point is earned for every $5 in slot coin-in. For video poker and table games, it is a percentage of the theoretical house edge.
