Many large casino players clubs have evolved into traditional loyalty clubs for the entire casino and resort. The national casino players club has new reward tiers and new benefits for customers at Boyd Gaming casinos in Las Vegas and around the country. Penn National Gaming jumped into the Illinois distributed gaming business in 2015 with the acquisition of Prairie State Gaming. Boyd Gaming club Boyd Rewards has upped the ante.
