Latest Promotions

Big welcome offers that give you more playtime

New members can score headline-grabbing sign-up rewards, like the “Fly Into 2026 With Up To $2,026” PENN Cash promotion. This new-member offer delivers between $26 and $2,026 in PENN Cash via the Flyin’ Cash Grab game in the PENN Play app. It requires manual opt-in by joining PENN Play in the app and playing the activation game, so it’s a strong early boost for players who want more spins and more chances to win without changing how they play.

Weekly and limited-time activations that amplify value

Look for timed promotions that light up play on specific days. The $40K Sunday Surprise kiosk game runs Sundays from 12:00 noon to 11:59 p.m., and gives players a shot at big prize pools after they earn 150 Tier Points that day. These limited windows are perfect for planning a focused play session—earn the required Tier Points, activate at a kiosk or in the app, and take your shot at prize payouts.

Major drawings and prize giveaways that change the stakes

Ameristar runs headline giveaways that can include high-value prizes and large PENN Slot Play pools. Notable events include:

The $100,000 Range Rover Giveaway: earn entries March 1, 2026 – March 28, 2026, with the drawing on March 28, 2026, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Earn entries via Tier Points (10 Tier Points = 1 entry), and the prize can be a Range Rover Velar or a share of PENN Slot Play prizes. A free entry is included for eligible players.
Elite and Owners Club drawings: tiered members receive automatic entries or free entries depending on status, with events like the Elite and Owners Club Exclusive Finalist Drawing on March 21, 2026, featuring a share of $15,000 in PENN Slot Play and finalist spots for larger giveaways.
Owners Club Spin To Win: earn entries March 1, 2026 – March 26, 2026, with the drawing on March 26, 2026, for a share of $20,000 in PENN Slot Play.

These prize drawings reward consistent play, and they stack with other promotions when you qualify, giving loyal players extra upside without extra deposits.

Loyalty rewards and 50+ perks that pay back play

Tier Points power a lot of the best value at Ameristar. Beyond entries, the loyalty system delivers tangible benefits:

Complimentary buffet: earn 150 Tier Points per promotional day on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to qualify for a free buffet reward.
Forever Fun 50+ PENN Cash Play & Get: players aged 50 and over earn $20 PENN Cash for every 100 Tier Points, up to $100 PENN Cash (maximum 500 Tier Points).
Forever Fun 50+ Rattle & Roll Giveaway and Mystery PENN Cash Multiplier: age-restricted drawings and kiosk activations give players 50 and over additional chances at PENN Slot Play and PENN Cash, with kiosk windows typically open from 12:00 noon to 11:59 p.m.
Lottery ticket redemption: trade Tier Points for up to two lottery tickets—75 Tier Points per ticket.
50+ slot tournaments: tournament zone play runs during stated hours, with top finishers sharing $20,000 in PENN Slot Play.

These loyalty-driven rewards translate Tier Points into real value you can use on games, dining, and future promotions.

How offers are delivered, and what you need to know before you play

Most Ameristar promotions are managed through the PENN Play system, via the PENN Play mobile app and on-property promotional kiosks. Activation can be automatic for some tier-based prizes, or manual for kiosk and app activations. Key points to keep in mind:

Activation types vary: automatic entry, manual opt-in, or kiosk activation.
Tier Point requirements matter: many drawings and offers use Tier Points to earn entries or unlock rewards.
Some promos are tier- or age-restricted: Owners Club, Elite, Exclusive, and 50+ offers have eligibility criteria.
Time windows are strict: certain activations run only during set daily hours or promotional date ranges, so plan your visits accordingly.
All promotions are subject to terms and conditions; prizes, eligibility, and awarding methods are defined in official rules.

If you need help, customer support is available with chat assistance, and common payment options include Bank Transfer, MasterCard, and Visa. Most credits and prizes are tracked in PENN Play, and staff at the promotional kiosks can help with activation steps.

How these promotions improve your gaming experience

Promotions at Ameristar Black Hawk aren’t just extras—they change the way you play by stretching your bankroll, adding prize potential, and rewarding consistency. New-member PENN Cash puts extra spins on the table. Sunday prize games and marquee drawings raise the stakes on targeted play days. Loyalty rewards convert time on machines into food, free play, and bonus entries. Put together, these offers create multiple ways to get value, enjoy extended sessions, and chase larger prize pools without overextending your bankroll.

Before you play, review the official terms and conditions, verify eligibility, and use responsible gambling tools as needed. Good luck, and enjoy the extra value your play can earn at Ameristar Black Hawk Casino.
