The popular Last Man Standing Pro and College Elimination football contests are back, too, and will offer up to $250,000 in cash prizes. The Great Giveaway will be available at all Station Casinos, Fiestas, Palms and Wildfire Gaming properties with sports books, as well as the Station Casinos-managed El Cortez sports book.

Registration for the Great Giveaway begins Aug. 8 at 10 a.m., and any guest who purchases two entries receives a third for free. Cost per entry is $25, and contestants may also use Boarding Pass points at Station Casinos, the Fiestas, Palms or Wildfire Gaming properties, or Club Cortez points at El Cortez, for payment or partial payment of entries. Contestants can purchase a fourth entry for $20. The contest still also includes the ever-popular “no lose” guarantee – all contestants who purchase their entry and play all 17 weeks of the game receive their entry back less prizes paid in the form of free slot play at the end of the season.
Throughout the 17-week NFL season, the Great Giveaway will award a total of $30,000 in prizes each week to players with the most wins or losses. The contestant who picks the most season winners or losers will win their choice of a home valued at $225,000 or $100,000 cash. The popular “Fiddle in the Middle” returns with total cash prize winnings of $200,000 for selecting the closest equal number of wins and losses for the entire season. For 225 winning selections, guests are eligible to win $1 million.
Guests may submit weekly picks for the $2 Million Great Giveaway with their Boarding Pass at any Station Casinos kiosk or sports book location or at the El Cortez.
