Coushatta Casino Resort in Louisiana allows players to earn cash back, "comp cash," free play, and hotel discounts with their Advantage card. Guests can earn valuable rewards and benefits by inserting their card into any slot or video poker machine or presenting it before playing table games. A cardholder can use comp cash in casino restaurants, gift shops, or bars, or use it to purchase a round of golf or show tickets. Hotel rewards may include reduced rates or even free stays.
No. 8:
Connecticut's Foxwoods Resort Casino is one of the largest resort casinos in North America, so it's no surprise that they have a big players club for their best guests. Foxwoods Rewards has a four-tier system — Wonder, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond — and when you reach the upper levels, expect bonuses like free rounds of golf, complimentary rooms and shows, and even a free seven-night cruise with partner Norwegian Cruise Line.
