How to earn Boarding Pass points
Boarding Pass points are earned when playing most games at a Station Casinos property. Slot players earn one point for every $1 in coin-in. It is $2 coin-in per Boarding Pass point at video poker and electronic table games, unless otherwise noted on the machine. Sports bettors receive one point for every dollar wagered. Bingo receives five base points for every dollar in buy-in. It is 15 points per dollar at keno. Cash game poker players receive 1,000 points for every hour of action.
