FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: AUGUST 22, 2006

LUCKY LOCAL TAKES HOME BIGGEST JUMBO JACKPOT EVER

LAS VEGAS – The early bird catches the worm, and sometimes the biggest Station Casinos Jumbo Jackpot prize ever awarded. On Friday, August 18, just after 6 am, Henderson resident Margaret Krause made history at Sunset Station when she hit the Jumbo Jackpot for $149,394, the most won since the $150,000 Jumbo Jackpot Bonus began in May 2005. More than 1,500 Boarding Pass and Amigo Club members all across the Valley reaped the benefits, receiving $79,050 in free slot play.

The 83-year-old retired landscaper had only been playing for about ten minutes on a penny keno machine when the Jumbo Jackpot music sounded and bells went off. “I kept hitting the button and wondering why I didn’t get my $50 (in free slot play),” said Margaret. “The guy next to me said ‘lady, you won’! Imagine a great-grandmother hitting the jackpot!”

“Whether it’s cash, free slot play or cars, there are so many ways to win when you’re a Boarding Pass cardholder, you should never play without it,” said Staci Columbo, vice president of marketing and advertising.

The Station Casinos Jumbo Jackpot Bonus has been awarded to 46 lucky winners over the past fifteen months and has paid out more than $6.1 million.

The Boarding Pass Guest Rewards Program has been voted “Best Players Club” seven years in a row by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Membership is free and rewards can be earned and redeemed at any Station Casinos property. Members are eligible for discounts on dining, entertainment and hotel rooms, as well as our Jumbo branded products including: Jumbo Bingo, a coverall progressive jackpot starting at $100,000; Jumbo Hold’em Poker, a “bad-beat” poker room progressive starting at $100,000; Jumbo Jackpot Player’s Card Bonus, a random progressive slot jackpot starting at $100,000 and must hit by $150,000 that awards everyone playing at a participating casino $50 in free slot play; Jumbo Penny, a penny slot progressive that awards penny players up to $1,000 in instant cash; Jumbo Keno, a keno progressive starting at $60,000; Jumbo Race, a random daily progressive jackpot starting at $250 and must hit by $1,000.
