One of the special features of Golden Rewards is the “Golden Jackpot.” Players can select their own personal 4 of a kind poker hand that sets off the jackpot, also triggered by hitting a Royal Flush and/or $1,000 or higher jackpot on keno, slots, or blackjack. A player must be betting minimum $.99 to qualify.
All carded players betting the minimum receive a bonus when ignited. The breakdown of awards are based on current tier level.
