The Big Easy (the Showboat name) slot cards still work in the machines; however, the plan is to issue everyone a new card whenever they present an old one.

You will find, on inserting your slot card into a card reader, your name, current slot point total, and finally a fresh count displayed.

According to the club's literature, an account may be inactivated if 1000 points are not earned within an 18 month period. The remaining accumulated points will be forfeited.

Online Slot Club Amenities

One may enroll in this slot club online. Then on arriving and with the presentation of a picture ID, the new player will receive two (unless more are requested) pre-made slot cards. This online pre-register feature is more commonly used by tourists as opposed to locals and consequently, information about the facilities is mailed or emailed to tourists who pre-register.

This club also offers online access to one's current slot point total. Locals find this service of limited value; however, if a significant total of slot points is available in one's account, a tourist may consider emailing about their use in obtaining a room. Tourists with truly significant totals are always welcomed back.
