The Challenge is based on picking five NFL selections each week or selecting
one college winning team or one total against the Station Casinos’ contest line
as part of the contestant’s five picks. Winners will be determined by the most
points accumulated during the 2006-2007 college and pro NFL football regular
season.

that finish ahead of the Station Casinos Bookmaker to be eligible to win the
aggregate bonus. Additionally, the contestant who accumulates the most points

Station, Sunset Station, Texas Station and Fiesta Henderson, Fiesta Rancho.
Last Man Standing
The Last Man Standing Elimination Football Contest is based on picking one
winning college or pro football team against the contest line weekly. Selections
will be made against the point spread listed on the weekly contest card and if
it is a winning selection, that entry will remain in the contest for the
following week. The fee is $25 per entry. Each contestant may purchase up to
three entries total and will receive a fourth entry free. Boarding Pass points
or Station Bucks may not be used for payment of entries. The prize money will be
awarded to the contestant who is the last contestant (s) remaining at the end of
the regular season. If the weekly selection is a losing selection or a
contestant fails to submit a weekly selection, that entry will be declared
eliminated. There will be no ties and all games will be half point spreads.

Boulder Station, Green Valley Ranch, Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa, Santa Fe
Station, Sunset Station, Texas Station, Barley’s Casino & Brewing Company,
