Mahoney's Slot Club
|
| On joining this slot club, you will receive a bonus of 500 slot points (50¢ value). Silver Nugget and Opera House Casinos are both owned by the same individual who, as you might suspect, is named Mahoney. A card issued at one casino is valid at the other but points accumulated at one facility are not generally redeemable at the other. In other words, there will be two distinct accounts. If you make a request, your points accummulated at Opera House can be transferred for use through the slot club at Silver Nugget. These two casinos have their slot literature printed in both English and Spanish which must say mucho about a large 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 points and card never expire. |

| Slot Point Accrual | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
It is impossible to earn a single slot point at Silver Nugget. This is because the slot club always awards points in increments of ten. Thus, the above table might be better written as follows.

| Food: | Slot points may be used to obtain food. The minimum redemption is 3000 points, which will function as a $3 food value at the cafe. This is the same rate of exchange as used to obtain cash. The question then arises as to why you would elect to use, for example, 5000 points to obtain a $5 food value instead of obtaining $5 cash and simply paying for the food. The reason is that the price of a meal, 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 making the cost at least 7% less than the other. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
