Loyalty
Cherokee Casino’s One Star Rewards® program just became more relevant for regular players and casual visitors alike. Whether you’re chasing extra playtime on a $1 slot or aiming for hourly poker bonuses, the loyalty system ties together kiosk-based promotions, rated sessions, and mobile messaging so your time on the floor or online converts to tangible rewards.
What the Program Actually Gives You
The One Star Rewards® program delivers tiered perks, personalized offers, and access to exclusive promotions. Opt in at Player Services and start earning points the moment you swipe your card at a kiosk or log rated play. Perks include complimentary cruise offers for Multi-Platinum and Platinum tier members, cash and Free Play through kiosk games, periodic drawing entries, and special event prizes like hourly Poker High Hand payouts.
How Bonuses Are Credited — Know the Rules
Cherokee Casino uses a non-sticky bonus approach, meaning bonus funds become withdrawable once playthrough requirements are met. Many promotions require earning points or swiping your One Star Rewards card at a kiosk to activate eligibility. Promotions can be changed or canceled without notice, and casino employees and certain family members are excluded from chance-based promotions where a base prize isn’t guaranteed. Keep in mind the fine print on each offer so you know exactly how to convert points into prizes.
Daily and Weekly Kiosk Games — When to Play
Kiosk games are a fast way to turn points into cash or Free Play. Regular windows include Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10 AM to 11:59 PM for specific point-based games, and other limited runs tied to prize drawings. You typically earn entries by collecting points during electronic gameplay and then swiping at a kiosk or taking part in a rated session within the required time window. These short, scheduled events are perfect if you like clear targets and quick wins.
Drawing Entries and Slot Races — Big Cash Opportunities
Watch the drawing schedule for high-value prizes. Recent examples have included $1,000 drawing prizes at set times in the evening, with entries earned by swiping your card or completing rated sessions during the qualifying period. For slot racers and frequent players, these drawings can stack with other promotions, offering meaningful upside without complex wagering requirements.
Promotions to Watch: Poker, Gifts, and Mobile Perks
- Poker High Hand runs periodically and has featured $100 cash winners every hour in past events, which is a solid side benefit for live Texas Hold’em players.
- The Tool Tune Up Gift Series ties low-effort tasks to tangible rewards, like a gift or $25 Rewards Play after earning modest point targets on select days.
- The One Star Rewards® mobile app lets you track points, receive special messages, and manage offers from your phone — a simple way to stay on top of timed promotions without missing a kiosk window.
Perks for Top Players — Cruises and VIP Treatment
Top-tier players can qualify for premium rewards, including complimentary Carnival® or Princess Cruises® for Multi-Platinum and Platinum members. Higher tiers also receive more personalized offers, priority access to events, and VIP handling during promotional periods. If you’re working toward a tier, focus on rated play and targeted kiosk events that accumulate points efficiently.
Use Slots and Table Play to Stack Points
If you’re aiming to build points quickly, consider games with longer session play and frequent rated tracking. Betsoft titles, a long-standing provider since 1999, power a number of options at Cherokee Casino. Fan favorites include Viking Voyage Slots, Island Desire – Hold & Win Slots, and Quest to the West Slots — each offering features like free spins, Hold & Win, and bonus rounds that can extend your session length and point-earning potential. See the Viking Voyage review, Island Desire review, and Quest to the West review for details on those titles and their bonus rounds.
