(Las Vegas, Nev.) – With the first NFL game kicking off on September 6, Station Casinos has brought back its popular football contests including the $1 Million Great Giveaway, the Football Frenzy Contest, The Challenge and Last Man Standing totaling nearly $1.5 million in prize money throughout the season.

$1 Million Great Giveaway Football Contest

In its 21st year, the Station Casinos $1 Million Great Giveaway Football Contest has been voted “Best Football Contest” in Las Vegas 14 years in a row by the Las Vegas Review Journal and offers the most payouts. The contest can be played at seven properties including Palace Station, Boulder Station, Green Valley Ranch, Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa, Santa Fe Station, Sunset Station and Texas Station. A $25 entry fee registers players to compete for their share of $1 million in total prizes.

Each week of the Great Giveaway, football fans have a chance to take home their share of $45,000 in prize winnings for picking the most winners ($30,000) or losers ($15,000). By the end of the 17-week regular NFL football season, the top 225 contestants will score additional prizes totaling $235,000 for picking the most winners ($100,000), losers ($25,000) and the “Fiddle in the Middle” ($25,000) for selecting the equal number of wins and losses for the entire season. Additional cash prizes will be awarded.

There is a $25 fee per entry with no more than two paid entries per person allowed. Those who purchase two entries will receive a bonus third entry for free as well as up to $25 in free slot play credited to the guest’s Boarding Pass card. Contestants may also use Boarding Pass points or Station Bucks for payment or partial payment of entries.

The Challenge

More than $200,000 will be given away, with more than 100 percent of all entry fees returned as prize money during The Challenge. For a $1000 entry fee, the first place prize is guaranteed at a minimum of $100,000 or 50 percent of the total entry fees collected, with second and third place winners collecting $20,000 and $10,000 respectively. The contest offers prizes to those who place in the top 20.

The Challenge is based on picking five NFL selections each week or selecting one college winning team or one total against the Station Casinos’ contest line as part of the contestant’s five picks. Winners will be determined by the most points accumulated during the 2006-2007 college and pro NFL football regular season.

Additionally, contest participants have a chance to drive off in a new Mercedes Benz C-300 W Sport from Fletcher Jones Imports for selecting over 67 percent winners (57 points) for the season or a $10,000 bonus in the Beat the House Early Bird Special if signed up by September 2 allowing all contestants that finish ahead of the Station Casinos Bookmaker to be eligible to win the aggregate bonus. Additionally, the contestant who accumulates the most points over the final four weeks of the season can win an additional $12,500 prize.

The Challenge may be played at nine properties including Palace Station, Boulder Station, Green Valley Ranch, Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa, Santa Fe Station, Sunset Station, Texas Station and Fiesta Henderson, Fiesta Rancho.

Last Man Standing

The Last Man Standing Elimination Football Contest is based on picking one winning college or pro football team against the contest line weekly. Selections will be made against the point spread listed on the weekly contest card and if it is a winning selection, that entry will remain in the contest for the following week. The fee is $25 per entry. Each contestant may purchase up to three entries total and will receive a fourth entry free. Boarding Pass points or Station Bucks may not be used for payment of entries. The prize money will be awarded to the contestant who is the last contestant (s) remaining at the end of the regular season. If the weekly selection is a losing selection or a contestant fails to submit a weekly selection, that entry will be declared eliminated. There will be no ties and all games will be half point spreads.

Last Man Standing may be played at 14 properties including Palace Station, Boulder Station, Green Valley Ranch, Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa, Santa Fe Station, Sunset Station, Texas Station, Barley’s Casino & Brewing Company, Fiesta Henderson, Fiesta Rancho, Gold Rush, Magic Star, Wild Wild West and Wildfire.
