SERVICEMAN WINS $146,000 JUMBO JACKPOT

Over 10,000 Players Club Members have won Jumbo in barely a month

Las Vegas-May 22 marked the launch of the reengineered Jumbo Jackpot Player's Card Bonus. In little over a month, the new Jumbo Jackpot Player's Card Bonus has hit seven times and awarded Station and Fiesta guests over $1.3 Million in bonus cash. Over 10,000 guests have enjoyed $50 in free slot play.

The latest Jumbo hit just yesterday, June 30. United States Marine Sgt. Scott Peck was visiting Palace Station while on leave from his post in California where he is stationed after having served in Iraq. He won $145,925 playing a Star Wars slot.

"This is just about the coolest thing that's ever happened to me," claims Sgt. Peck, who must return to duty Saturday July 2, while most civilians are enjoying backyard barbecues. Peck is an infantryman who has served in the USMC for over seven years.

"It was so fitting that going into a holiday weekend which commemorates our country's freedom that a serviceman won the Jackpot," said Pat Kearns, Senior Vice President of Operations for Palace Station, Sunset Station and Green Valley Ranch.

And the weekend will begin with a bang for over 2,600 others as well, who all won $50 in free slot play because they were also playing with their cards when Sgt. Peck won the jackpot. Yesterday alone, Station Casinos bonused almost $280,000 in cash and free slot play.

Since its launch April 1, 2003, The Jumbo Jackpot Player's Club Bonus has awarded tens of thousands of club cardholders over $11 Million in bonus cash. Now, in an exciting reengineer of the company's successful program, Station Casinos has taken the Jumbo Jackpot even further.

One company wide progressive jackpot meter starts at $100,000 and must hit a Player's Card by $150,000. But the most exciting new feature of Jumbo Jackpot is that regardless of where the Jumbo hits, whether at one of the six Stations or two Fiestas, every single guest companywide who is actively playing at the time with their Boarding Pass or Amigo Club Card inserted into their machine wins an instant $50 in slot play.

That's in addition to all the other benefits of Boarding Pass or Amigo card membership, such as the option to redeem club points at eight different locations, over 85 dining options where points can be redeemed, and the Xtra Play Cash feature which puts free slot credits right on the card while playing. Cardholders can earn up to $1,000 every month in free slot play for using their card.

The Jumbo Jackpot gives customers playing slot or video poker machines at the company's six Station-branded properties in the Las Vegas area with a Boarding Pass card inserted into the machine or with an Amigo Club card at the two Fiestas a chance to collect a bonus jackpot of up to $150,000, paid immediately in cash. The Jumbo Jackpot can hit at any time, at any place, regardless of how many coins are played or the machine's outcome.

Complete information on the Jumbo Jackpot Player's Club Bonus is available at the Rewards Center of any Station Casino, or the Amigo Club at Fiesta Henderson and Fiesta Rancho.
