1. Slot players must earn electronic drawing entries by accumulating slot points. Players can accumulate slot points while playing slot machines anywhere on the Casino Floor with their ACE Club Card properly inserted into a slot machine at ACCCC only. Slot players earn one (1) electronic drawing entry per ten (10) slot points earned during the promotional period. Electronic drawing entries are automatically entered into the PlayerSoft “virtual” drawing barrel.
2. All qualifying slot and/or table games entries for the Up, Up & Away! Free Play Drawings must be earned starting at 12:01AM on Friday, November 22, 2024 and ends ten (10) minutes prior to the completion of the last drawing on Saturday, November 23, 2024. Slot points can be earned at ACCCC only (See “Electronic Drawing Entry Earning”). Entry earning for table games players shall be based on table games play at ACCCC only.
3. Slot players must activate their electronic drawing entries on the day of each drawing. In order to successfully activate electronic drawing entries towards each drawing, the qualified ACE Club members will be required to follow the below steps:
a. Properly inserting their ACE Club Card, the ACE Club member will begin a session of play at a slot machine.
b. The ACE Club member must close their rating by removing their ACE Club Card from a slot machine within two (2) hours or at least ten (10) minutes prior to any upcoming drawing time. This process must be repeated at every drawing time to repopulate any new entries earned into the electronic drawing drum.
4. For slot players and table game players, all electronic drawing entries must be activated a minimum of two (2) hours and at least ten (10) minutes prior to each drawing time in order to be eligible to win. A sweep will be done on PlayerSoft ten (10) minutes prior to the drawing time to begin populating entries earned up to that point for winners. Announcements will be made on the Casino Floor at ACCCC throughout the drawing day to remind patrons how and when to activate their electronic drawing entries.
5. Table Game players earn electronic drawing entries by accumulating a $5 table game theoretical win while playing at a table with their ACE Club Card. Table game players earn one (1) electronic drawing entry per $5 table game theoretical win accumulated during the promotional period. Table Game drawing entries can only be earned at ACCCC (See “Electronic Drawing Entry Earning”).
6. Table games players must activate their electronic drawing entries on the day of the drawings. In order to successfully activate electronic drawing entries towards each drawing, the qualified ACE Club members will be required to follow the below steps:
a. Using their ACE Club Card, the ACE Club member must begin a session of play at a table game a minimum of two (2) hours before each drawing session.
b. A Table Games Floor Supervisor (or above) must close all player ratings at 3:30PM and 5:30PM to activate entries into the drawing.

This process must be repeated for each activation time to repopulate any new entries earned into the electronic drawing drum since the last activation.
7. Once an electronic drawing entry is selected and the winning name is announced, the winner will have three (3) minutes to report to the drawing area (ACCCC promotional area in the center of the Casino Floor). Winners may also contact a Slot or Security Department employee. The Slot or Security Department employee will notify a Marketing representative winner has identified themselves within the three (3) minute time limit and is being sent to the drawing area to be verified as an eligible winner before another name is drawn. The winner’s drawing and eligibility will be verified by two (2) Marketing representatives before a prize is awarded. A Winners Log will be kept to indicate the electronic drawing entries drawn, winner’s name(s) and any entries drawn that are “ineligible “or “no-shows”.
8. All drawing promotions shall have a thirty (30)-minute verification period to determine winner eligibility after a winner has been chosen.
9. Must be present to win. In the event that a winner does not show up, we will re-draw for another winner. This allows another ACE Club member an opportunity to win in that drawing. In the event the winner does not show up to claim their prize within the allotted three (3) minute period, that winner will be marked as a “no-show” on the Winners Log.
10. Winners must show valid identification to claim a prize (i.e., driver’s license, government-issued photo ID card, Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians Tribal ID, military ID or passport: Federal Regulations prohibit the copying or scanning of military or military dependent identification cards.). Winners must also show their ACE Club Card to claim a prize.
11. For each electronic drawing entry drawn, an authorized Marketing Representative will enter the following information on the Winners Log: date of the promotion; winner’s name; ACE Club Card number; and the award or prize won. The authorized Marketing Representative will sign with name and gaming license number attesting to the prize distribution. The winner will sign the log, evidencing they have received the prize.
12. Winners agree that, as a condition of entry, a Winners Log and a Winner’s Release form will be signed prior to the payment of prizes (if applicable). The Winner’s Release form gives Agua Caliente Casinos and its agencies the rights to use the winner’s name, character, voice, likeness etc. in any future advertising, without any further compensation due to the winner. The release also holds Agua Caliente Casinos, the ACBCI, its employees, etc. harmless from the award or use of the prize.
13. The Winner’s Release Form will include space for two (2) employee signatures: One (1) Marketing representative, and one (1) additional signature of a Marketing representative for verification. Winners are responsible for all Federal, State, and local taxes for all awards as a result of this promotion where applicable. Winners must provide a Social Security number and/or W-9 Form (if applicable) prior to receipt of their award or prize per the ACBCI Reporting and Withholding Internal Controls.
14. For Non-Negotiable Chip Prizes, a Marketing representative will verify each winner’s ID and ACE Club Card before prizes are issued. A Marketing representative will require the winner to sign the Winners Log before issuing a Non-Negotiable Chip Prizes Comp Voucher to the ACE Club member’s account. Once the voucher has printed, the Marketing representative will sign the voucher with name and gaming license number and instruct the winner to present the voucher to the Main Cashier’s Cage to receive their prize in Non-Negotiable Chips.
