The Stardust was a beloved Las Vegas casino, and fans looking for a fix can now download a free social app named after the iconic resort, Stardust Social Casino.

The Stardust app is free to play and available on iOS and Android mobile platforms.

Do not ask why three of Boyd’s casinos—Main Street Station, Fremont and The Cal—somehow got on The Strip. It’s Stardust magic.

A casino app serves a number of purposes for a casino company. It gives casinos a platform to market to their customers, of course, but in the case of a social app, the hope is also to already be on player smartphones when social casinos can serve as real online casinos, with actual money involved.

Online casinos are already legal in a few states, including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and West Virginia. Actually, it’s not “including.” That’s it.

Online casinos aren’t yet legal in Nevada. Thanks, Uncle Sheldon. (The casino mogul has lobbied relentlessly against legalizing any form of Internet gambling.)

Boyd Gaming has a number of brick-and-mortar casinos in Pennsylvania and other states, so the opportunity to make the Stardust app a new source of gambling revenue is not too far down the road.

The Stardust app takes care to note: “The games do not offer real money gambling or an opportunity to win real money or prizes. Practice or success at social casino gaming does not imply future success at real money gambling.”

For now, anyway.

Fun fact: The Orleans, a Boyd Gaming casino, has a number of active slot machines rescued from the Stardust.

The resurfacing of the Stardust name is bittersweet, of course.

The Stardust opened on July 2, 1958 and was purchased by Boyd Gaming in 1985.

Stardust closed on November 1, 2006. It was imploded on March 13, 2007, to make way for a new Boyd Gaming project, Echelon Place.

Echelon Place was abandoned in 2008 due to the economic downturn, and is now the site of Resort World.

In hindsight, Stardust was closed and demolished for no good reason, but Vegas was built on short memories, so let’s put all that behind us and Stardust again.

The Stardust Social Casino is touted as being a way for loyalty club members to get rewards and benefits at Boyd Gaming casinos across the country, along with the enjoyment of the games themselves.

While social games are free, they offer players ways to purchase credits. Those purchases will earn points and Tier Credits within the B Connected loyalty club program.

The app has a fair number of game options, many immediately recognizable to slot fans.

We count 16 games to start. That should keep you busy.

B Connected loyalty club members will want to log in with their member number right up front in case any of those promised perks come to pass. There’s also the option to play as a “Guest.”

Prior to entering the social casino proper, there’s a spin to get credits, a clever incentive for players to use the app daily.

The gameplay is fairly straightforward, but here’s a quick tutorial: 1) Push “Spin.” 2) Repeat.

Please feel free to review our tutorial prior to downloading the app.

Each game has the option to see more information about paytables and game rules. From what we could see, the games are pretty true to the real world versions of the slots.

“Free social casino” may not precisely describe the Stardust app, or any social app, really. First, “social” games aren’t social. It’s you and your phone. Second, slots are just one part of a casino. Third, the games are only free if you play until you’re out of credits and stop.

Social casino games make a surprisingly large amount of money from people buying virtual credits, despite the fact there’s no monetary benefit of doing so. You can only get a virtual jackpot with virtual credits.

On the bright side, you don’t have to pay taxes on a virtual handpay.

No, not everyone purchases virtual credits. They don’t need to. If just one percent of customers purchase credits, it can generate a hefty amount of revenue. We’ve always said gambling is about the fun, not the winning and losing, and virtual credits keeps the fun flowing.

Don’t laugh. You blow $20 in a real casino in two minutes.

While the Stardust app is being touted as “new,” there was actually another attempt to relaunch the Stardust brand online in the form of a Facebook app in 2013. (See photo, below.)

The Stardust Facebook app was available in the U.K., Canada and Australia, but a U.S. version failed to materialize, as far as we know.

The first attempt at a Stardust virtual casino imploded.

Social casino apps are a way to stay connected to Vegas and your favorite games, even when you can’t be in Vegas.

The iconic Stardust Casino brand is making a comeback, this time as a real money online casino in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Boyd Gaming and FanDuel have announced plans to bring the online casino to both states in April 2021.

Keith Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boyd Gaming, said: “For nearly 50 years, the Stardust was one of the most famous casinos on the Las Vegas Strip. And while the resort has been gone for more than a decade, the Stardust brand is still as well-known and popular as ever. We are excited to work with our partners at FanDuel to launch our first real-money online casinos and are confident this legendary brand will give us a significant advantage in connecting with players looking for a distinctive online gaming experience.”

The Details

Stardust Online Casino

The Stardust real money online casino will be built on FanDuel’s platform. Boyd Gaming entered into a strategic partnership with FanDuel in 2018.

The Stardust online casino will launch pending regulatory approval in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Players will be able to link their B Connected player loyalty accounts to the platform to earn points and credits while they play.

The casino will compete with major operators in the state by offering a strong stable of games: baccarat, blackjack, roulette, video poker, live dealer, and, of course, slots.

“The new Stardust Casino will retain all of the great games that customers love on Betfair Casino, while incorporating a new stylish look that captures the glitz, glamour and nostalgia of old Las Vegas,” said Amy Howe, President of FanDuel Group. “Stardust Casino allows us to take a market-leading product to the next level, creating a unified platform across New Jersey and Pennsylvania and integrating Boyd Gaming’s B Connected player loyalty program to provide even more value to our customers.”

Stardust’s Sparkling History

The Stardust Casino, which was demolished in 2007 after operating for 48 years, has cemented its place in the annals of gambling history. The property was the inspiration for the 1995 feature flick Casino, directed by Martin Scorsese. Siegfried and Roy also made their debut at the Stardust.

For some time, the Stardust was under mob control. In the early 80s, however, the government kicked out the mob and asked Boyd Gaming to take over operations for the property. Boyd Gaming obliged, and purchased the Stardust just a year and a half later.

In 2006, Stardust Casino closed its doors. Six months later, the now-legendary property was imploded.

Now, the Stardust is carrying on its legacy, reflecting the ever-evolving nature of the gambling arena. The launch of the online casino will revive the brand in a uniquely modern way. Players young and old will once again be able to experience the iconic Stardust Casino once it’s live.
