Mahoney's Slot Club
Historical staff contact removed.
Mahoney's Slot Club serves both Opera House and Silver Nugget, which have the same ownership. A card issued at one casino is valid at the other; but points accumulated at one facility are not redeemable at the other. In other words, there are two separate accounts.

This, as you might expect, is not carved in stone; your slot points in an Opera House account can be transferred to your account at the Silver Nugget. This, however, will take a special request and approval. Transferring your slot points to Silver Nugget is an appropriate thing to do if there is some item in the Silver Nugget showcase that you wish to obtain with your slot points. Opera House has no selection of items.

Although a slot card issued at Silver Nugget is valid and usable at Opera House, you can get a slot card directly at Opera House. On doing this, you will be issued a new card. If you have been using a Silver Nugget slot card, you will then still have only one account at Opera House.

Opera House and Silver Nugget are the only Las Vegas casinos that have their slot literature printed in both English and Spanish which must say mucho about a sizable part of the clientele.

On inserting your slot card into the reader, you will see your name and current slot point total displayed on the visual. This is then followed by a fresh count.

On counting down, the system will award you ten points.

The reader at Opera House will wish you happy birthday during your birth month; another nice feature of the club is that locals will receive a letter entitling them to a free meal during their particular birth month.

The points and card never expire.

It is literally impossible to earn a single slot point at Opera House. This is because the slot club always awards points in increments of ten. Thus, the above table might be better written as follows.

Scrip: None. Some items are available through the slot club booth at Silver Nugget.
Food: Slot points may be used to obtain food with the minimum redemption being 3000 points which will function as a $3 food value. This is the same rate of exchange as used to obtain cash. The reason that it may be better to use points to pay for meals in preference to cash is that the price of the food, when paid with cash, would be taxed, effectively raising its cost, while payment made via the use of slot points directly would be untaxed, thus avoiding an increase in the food cost of at least 7% less.
