Where Loyalty Meets Luxury

It's golden hour in Downtown Louisville where inside Derby City Gaming the warm glow of chandeliers reflect off the newly polished floors. Laughter ripples through the crowd as cocktails clink and reels spin. A guest strolls up to the rewards kiosk, FastTrack Rewards card in hand. A simple tap and within seconds, their perks unfold: a surprise suite upgrade, a complimentary dinner reservation and Free Play to get the night started?! What else could you want to kick off a fun night out?!

FastTrack isn't just a rewards program-it's a passport to personalized experiences across a growing network of Churchill Downs Incorporated properties. Whether you're spinning the reels in Louisville or taking in the scenery at del Lago Resort & Casino in New York, one sleek card in your wallet connects you to elevated service, exclusive access and faster rewards everywhere you go.

The program currently connects properties across five states. Each location maintains its unique vibe and identity, but with FastTrack, rewards follow from state to state, game to table and early check-in to late check-out.

  • Indiana: Terre Haute Casino Resort
  • Kentucky: Derby City Gaming, Owensboro Racing and Gaming, Ellis Park Racing and Gaming, Turfway Racing and Gaming, Newport Racing and Gaming, and Oak Grove Racing and Gaming
  • New York: del Lago Resort and Casino
  • Virginia: The Rose, Roseshire and all Rosie's Gaming Emporium locations
  • Florida: Calder Casino

"FastTrack has been a game-changer for our Virginia properties," says Nate Mize, Senior Director of Marketing at Colonial Downs. "It's simplified how we communicate value to our guests and has elevated the experience for our most loyal players."

At the heart of FastTrack is a five-tier structure designed to make rewards feel personal, attainable and exciting. From the moment of enrollment, guests move through tiers by earning points on everything from slots and table games to meals, hotel stays and more. While the program provides numerous benefits, individual locations may offer different selections.

  • Bronze (0-2,999 points) gives members a taste of the program with instant access to comps, hotel deals and promotions.
  • Silver (3,000 - 14,999 points) opens the door to special offers to FastTrack Destinations, bonus drawing entries and exclusive promotions.
  • Gold (15,000-39,999 points) brings food and beverage discounts, special gift offers, and priority restaurant reservations where available.
  • Platinum (40,000 - 79,999 points) unlocks VIP lounge access, entertainment presales, complimentary early check-in and even a complimentary cruise.
  • Triple Crown (80,000+ points, invite only) gives the top-tier an elite experience: curated travel offers, personalized service and the kind of benefits you will not see advertised.

"The launch of the Churchill Downs Loyalty Rewards Card at del Lago represents a major milestone in connecting our players to the broader Churchill Downs brand," says Matt Ingold, Senior Director of Marketing, del Lago Resort and Casino. "This FastTrack rollout has given guests a tangible sense of what it means to be part of the Churchill Downs experience-extending the impact of their play well beyond the property. By putting a recognizable face and feel to the brand, we've deepened emotional connections and reinforced the value of loyalty."

Tier earnings reset every six-months (January-June, July-December), but benefits carry over and feel cumulative, especially when paired with complimentary perks, exclusive offers and priority access at restaurants, hotels and more.

At properties featuring Historical Racing Machines (HRMs)-like those in Kentucky and Virginia-you'll earn:

  • 1 tier point for every $5 in handle on HRM machines
  • 1 redeemable point for every $10 in handle in Virginia
  • 1 redeemable point for every $5 in handle in Kentucky

At select Pari-Mutuel locations, you can earn even more by playing the ponies:

  • 1 tier point for every $10 in handle on races at CDI tracks

For those visiting casino properties in Indiana, New York, and Maryland, the program delivers full earning power on both slots and tables:

  • 1 tier point + 1 redeemable point for every $5 coin-in on slot machines
  • 1 tier point + 1 redeemable point for every $20 coin-in on Electronic Table Games or Video Poker

For Table Games, earnings are based on your game type, duration of play, and theoretical value. Note this could vary by location.

If you're enjoying a casual night out or chasing a big win, this flexible structure means you're always working toward your next reward. FastTrack was built to reward the way you move: every play, every stay, every sip adds up.

Enrollment is refreshingly simple. To register, guests can visit any participating Players Services with a valid ID. Within minutes, they'll walk away with their new rewards card ready to swipe, earn and redeem. For returning guests or current members, there's no need to start over, simply visit Players Services or any reprint kiosk to receive your new FastTrack Rewards card.

Picture a girls' weekend at Newport Racing and Gaming, where your card covers dinner and concert tickets. Or a romantic getaway to The Rose Gaming Resort, where your earned tier lands you a suite with skyline views and a bottle of champagne waiting at check-in. Even for the frequent local, there's something satisfying about watching your rewards grow across multiple visits.

Luxury with FastTrack isn't about extravagance-it's about being seen, remembered and rewarded. From personalized service to curated perks, the program deepens emotional connections and reinforces the value of loyalty. It's the comfort of knowing your meal is covered before you even open the menu, your suite upgrade is already waiting and your experience-from Florida to New York-has already been considered.

In a time where travel is fast, plans are spontaneous and experiences matter more than ever, FastTrack is the kind of companion that doesn't slow you down. It keeps you moving forward.

As the program expands, so do the opportunities to elevate your experience. New property openings, seasonal offers and curated events will continue to reward those who swipe with purpose.

From first-time visitors stepping onto the casino floor to loyal guests checking in for their third stay this month, the FastTrack Rewards program meets you where you are and invites you to go even further.
