How to Use Marquee Rewards Card

The Marquee Rewards card is used in all slot and video poker machines.  There is a place for the card to be inserted.  The machine will welcome the player by name when it is accepted.  Table game and poker players should give their Marquee Rewards card to the dealer or pit boss.

Awards Earned by Game

The awards on the game depend on the location of the casino.  The best Marquee Rewards casino for points is the M Resort in Las Vegas.  It pays 0.33% in cash back, free play or comps.  Some Marquee Rewards casinos return as little as 0.05%.

Table game rewards will also depend on the casino.  Other factors include the average bet, house edge of the game, speed of play and time at the table.  Poker typically pays $1 an hour in comps to players.

Status Credits Earned

Players earn one Status Point for every $1 wagered at any Marquee Rewards property.

Other Marquee Rewards Perks

Active players receive mailers that include free slot play, food comps and hotel rooms.  M Resort players have a special offer where points earned during the day may be redeemed for a free buffet.  The player gets to keep the points.

How to Redeem Free Slot Play

Free slot play is redeemed directly in the machine.  Insert the Marquee Rewards card.  Press the enter button followed by the free slot play one.  The next step is to input the number of points that you would like to convert.  Free slot play must be wagered one time before cashing out.

Marquee Rewards Benefits by Tier

There is no difference between the entry level and Celebrity tier.  Producer players receive line passes at restaurants and the players club.  The real benefits begin at the Executive Producer level.

Executive Producer players receive line passes, VIP parking, a host, access to the VIP lounge, two complimentary cruises per year and an annual gift.  Icon players receive these benefits as well as celebration dinner twice per year, $500 in annual airfare and an annual three-night hotel stay with a $250 dining credit.

Marquee Rewards Status Points Required by Tier

Marquee Rewards players earn points during two six-month periods that split the year into two.  Players that do not earn a point during a period lose all accrued points and status.  One Status Point is earned for every $1 wagered at slots and video poker.
