Station Casinos Inc. of Las Vegas announced it received a patent that will allow the company to personalize comps awarded to customers in its "Boarding Pass" slot club.

The patent received by Station covers the "award(ing) of a personal bonus, specific to each customer and increasing in amount with each customer's continued play ... based on the outcome of any casino game." The company said it plans to roll these features into Boarding Pass, the slot players card that can be used at five of Station's Las Vegas-area properties.

"This patent is part of our on-going efforts to provide Station with sustainable competitive advantages over its competition," Station Chief Financial Officer Glenn Christenson said.
