Login
Getting started at Bannock Peak Casino is straightforward once you know how the Players Club system works. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a returning player, understanding the login and account access process puts you in the best position to earn rewards, claim Bonus Bucks, and take part in the casino's ongoing promotions. Here's everything you need to know before you head through the doors.
What "Logging In" Means at Bannock Peak Casino
Unlike online platforms, Bannock Peak Casino operates as a physical gaming facility located at 1103 East County Road in Pocatello, Idaho — just off Exit 52 on Interstate 86, right next to the Bannock Peak Truck Stop. There's no website portal or mobile app to sign into. Instead, your "login" is your Players Club card, which you swipe at gaming machines and kiosks to access your account, earn points, and unlock rewards.
The Players Club Desk is open daily from 8:00 AM to 12:00 AM, giving you plenty of time to get set up before the gaming floor opens at noon. If you haven't enrolled yet, membership is completely free for anyone aged 18 and older.
How to Set Up Your Players Club Account
Signing up is quick. Visit the Players Club Booth on your first visit, present a valid ID, and a staff member will set you up with your card. Once you have your card, the next step is creating a Personal Identification Number (PIN) at the booth. That PIN is what allows you to download "Bonus Bucks" — free machine credits — directly to the gaming machines on the floor.
Bonus Bucks are a play-only benefit, meaning they carry no cash-out value and typically expire within seven days of being issued. Think of them as a way to extend your session and explore more of what the floor has to offer without spending extra out of pocket.
Swiping In: How Your Card Works on the Floor
Once your account is active, using it is as simple as inserting your Players Club card into the machine you want to play. Points accumulate automatically with every session, no manual tracking required. Those points feed into the Bonus Bucks program and also serve as your entry currency for drawings and promotions throughout the year.
For special events, you'll also need to swipe your card at one of the kiosks on the floor. During the Friday the 13th Drawing on March 13, for example, players need to activate their entries at a kiosk between 12:00 PM and 7:59 PM. Every 50 points earned that day generates one entry, so the more you play with your card inserted, the more chances you have to win a share of the $1,400 prize pool.
Promotions That Reward Active Card Holders
Keeping your account active really pays off at Bannock Peak Casino. The "It's Your Tier To Win" tournament series, which runs every Wednesday in March with an $18,000 total prize pool, is open to Players Club members who register on event days between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM or 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM. Top scores each session win cash vouchers, which must be claimed within 24 hours — so make sure you're checking your standing throughout the day.
For players aged 55 and older, the Super Seniors promotion runs every Thursday through March 26. Hot seat drawings award $100 in cash every hour from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and cardholders also enjoy a 20% food discount at all Shoshone-Bannock Casino Hotel outlets throughout the day. It's one of the better loyalty perks available for regular visitors.
What's Waiting for You on the Floor
Bannock Peak Casino is a compact, approximately 2,700-square-foot express gaming facility, but it packs in roughly 60 to 100 Class II video gaming machines. Popular titles on the floor include fan favorites like Buffalo Gold, Dragon Link Autumn Moon, Lightning Link, 88 Fortunes, and Wheel of Fortune High Roller. If you're in the mood for something a little different, look out for quirky titles like What The Duck and Bolly Boogie.
If you enjoy online-style video slots, you might also want to check out games from Pragmatic Play, one of the software providers associated with the Bannock Peak Casino brand. Titles like Panda's Fortune Slots bring a similar energy to the screen — a 5-reel, 25-payline game with up to 15 free spins and a Jackpot Feature that keeps things exciting. For fruit machine fans, Fruit 25 Lines Slots offers up to 30 free spins and a classic aesthetic with a modern twist. And if you're after something playful and unconventional, Slotstructor Slots brings a toy-themed 5-reel experience with a unique bonus round that stands out from the crowd.
Important Account and Prize Rules to Know
A few key rules are worth keeping in mind. If your name is drawn during any cash drawing, you have five minutes to report to the Players Club Booth with valid ID — if you miss that window, a redraw takes place and your prize is forfeited. Cash prizes are paid out via vouchers redeemable at the cage, and there are no play-through requirements attached to cash winnings.
Also worth noting: Shoshone-Bannock Casino Hotel employees, self-excluded players, and anyone under 18 are not eligible to participate in any promotions. If a kiosk malfunctions during a drawing event, the session may be paused or cancelled entirely.
A Casino Worth Knowing Before You Visit
Bannock Peak Casino reopened on November 5, 2024, following a full interior renovation, and has been building a solid reputation as a convenient, community-focused gaming spot under the management of CEO Colista Matsaw. It operates as a satellite of the Shoshone-Bannock Casino Hotel, owned and operated by the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes.
Getting your Players Club card set up before you start playing is the single most important step you can take as a new visitor. It's your key to every promotion, every drawing, and every Bonus Bucks credit the casino has to offer. Stop by the Players Club Desk — open from 8:00 AM daily — and you'll be ready to make the most of your time on the floor.
