Loyalty

Loyalty means something different at every casino. At Sandia Resort & Casino, it's woven into nearly every corner of the property through the Peak Rewards Players Club - a program that rewards members not just for playing, but for showing up, staying engaged, and making the most of what each visit has to offer.

What Is Peak Rewards and Why Does It Matter?

Peak Rewards is the official loyalty program at Sandia Resort & Casino, a land-based tribal casino operated by the Pueblo of Sandia. Unlike online casino reward systems, this one is entirely in-person and card-driven. Members earn Peak Points through slot play, table games, poker, bingo, and sportsbook activity - and those points unlock a steady stream of perks, free play credits, prize opportunities, and exclusive promotions.

Joining is straightforward. Visit the Players Club in person, bring a valid government-issued ID, and be at least 21 years old. From that moment forward, your card becomes the key to nearly every deal the casino has running.

A Welcome That Gives You a Real Head Start

New members don't have to wait long to feel the benefits. On enrollment day, you receive $5 in Slot Free Play just for signing up. Earn 500 Slot Base Points that same day, and you unlock an additional $50 in Slot Free Play - bringing your first-day potential up to $55. That's a meaningful reward for simply getting started, and it gives you a genuine reason to explore the slot floor right away.

Games like 5 Lions Gold Slots - a visually striking 5-reel, 243-payline title from Pragmatic Play featuring up to 24 free spins and multiple bonus features - are exactly the kind of experience worth diving into with that welcome credit in hand.

Free Play Fridays Turn Routine Visits Into Real Rewards

Every Friday in March 2026, from March 6 through March 27, Peak Rewards members can take advantage of Free Play Fridays. For every 500 Slot Base Points earned between 9: 00 AM and 11: 00 PM, you receive $10 in Slot Free Play - with a maximum of $50 available per Friday if you earn across five qualifying thresholds.

The key here is the kiosk step. After earning your points, you need to swipe your Peak Rewards card at a promotional kiosk to claim each award. It's a simple process, but one worth remembering so you don't leave value on the table.

If you're spinning through a session on John Hunter and the Book of Tut Slots - a 10-payline adventure through Ancient Egypt with 10 free spins and expanding symbols - your slot activity counts toward those qualifying points while you enjoy the game.

March Gifts Add a Tangible Twist to Loyalty

Every Tuesday in March 2026, from March 10 through March 31, members who earn 200 Slot Base Points on the promotional day can visit a kiosk to print a voucher and redeem a physical gift from the Smart Prep & Serve Appliance Set. Each week features a different item: an 800W 2.6 qt. Air Fryer, a 400W 48 oz. Blender, an 8 Egg Cooker, and a Multifunction Rotary Grater.

Invited members receive each week's gift without needing to earn points, and each guest is limited to one item per week. Gifts are available while supplies last, with no rainchecks and no reservations - so arriving early matters.

It's a refreshing reminder that loyalty rewards don't always have to be digital credits. Sometimes, something you can use in your kitchen every morning is just as satisfying.

Midweek Multipliers That Make Every Point Count More

Wednesday and Thursday are particularly rewarding days for Peak Rewards members. Every Wednesday, the Spice of Life 50+ promotion offers members aged 50 and older 3x Peak Points on both slots and table games from 8: 00 AM through 11: 59 PM. Alongside the multiplier, Hot Seat Drawings run hourly from 10: 00 AM to 7: 00 PM, with one $250 winner selected each hour.

Every Thursday, Tables Double Up delivers 2x Peak Points on all table game play, also running from 8: 00 AM to 11: 59 PM. Hot Seat Drawings follow the same format - one winner per hour between 10: 00 AM and 7: 00 PM. Both promotions activate automatically when you play with your Peak Rewards card, and neither can be stacked with other point multiplier offers running at the same time.

For slot players looking to keep the energy going on those days, Sweet Rush Bonanza Slots delivers a colorful 6-reel experience with tumble mechanics, multiplier spots, and a Buy Free Spins feature that keeps things moving at a satisfying pace.

Sportsbook Players Get a Multiplier Worth Noticing

Every Monday through Thursday from 4: 00 PM to 11: 00 PM, the Sportsbook gaming area rewards active players with a 10x Peak Points multiplier. That's one of the highest multipliers in the program, and it applies automatically when you use your Peak Rewards card while playing in the designated Sportsbook area.

As with other multiplier promotions, it cannot be combined with other point multiplier offers running simultaneously. But on its own, it's a strong incentive for members who enjoy sports wagering to make those evening sessions count.

Poker Rewards That Go Beyond the Cards

The Sandia Poker Room has its own loyalty layer built into the broader Peak Rewards structure. The Royal Surprise promotion runs from February 1 through December 31, 2026, rewarding any active Peak Rewards member who hits a Royal Flush during live Texas Hold'em or Omaha with a $500 cash prize.

The $100 High Hand Tournament runs every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from March 2 through April 29, 2026, awarding $100 to the highest hand recorded each hour between 8: 00 AM and 3: 00 AM.

Weekly tournaments add another dimension. Thrilling Thursdays brings a $150 No-Limit Hold'em tournament every Thursday at 7: 00 PM, with a 20,000-chip starting stack and an optional 10,000-chip dealer add-on for $15. The Sunday High Noon Tournament offers a $100 entry point every Sunday at noon - except on the last Sunday of each month, when it's replaced by the Super Sunday Bounty Tournament. That monthly special carries a $250 total registration fee ($220 buy-in plus a $30 entry fee), a 30,000-chip starting stack, and 25-minute levels. The next occurrence is March 29, 2026.

Bingo Perks That Reward Regulars and Special Occasions

Bingo players have their own set of loyalty-connected perks at Sandia. The Luck of the Horseshoe special game runs every Tuesday and Thursday evening in March 2026, with a top prize of $1,000 for paper card winners and $500 for electronic machine winners. It's a $2 add-on per 1-on card purchased alongside a standard Bingo package.

Beyond the special game, everyday discounts make regular visits more accessible. Members celebrating their birthday receive a $20 discount on an electronic Bingo package on their actual birthday - just bring a valid ID. Veterans and their spouses, first responders, and health care workers receive a $5 discount per session on an eligible electronic package, redeemable once per session with qualifying credentials and a Peak Rewards card. These two discounts cannot be combined, but each offers a genuine and recurring benefit for those who qualify.

What to Keep in Mind About Peak Rewards

A few important details are worth knowing before you dive in. Peak Points have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for cash under any circumstances. Slot Free Play credits work as play-through value on slot machines - they generate potential winnings but aren't withdrawable on their own.

Accounts with no play activity for 18 consecutive months may be deactivated, with all accumulated points forfeited. Members are prohibited from selling any prizes redeemed or won through promotions on Pueblo land. Management reserves the right to modify, alter, or cancel any promotion - or the entire program - at any time without prior notice.

The Sandia Casino, at its core, has built a loyalty experience that rewards consistent, engaged play across every part of the property. Whether you're chasing points on the slot floor, competing at the poker table, or simply enjoying a Tuesday bingo session, the Peak Rewards card is what ties it all together - and what makes each visit feel like it counts for something more.
