I have 2 other non-machine slot card (or players card, if you prefer).
The Pick Hobson's Riverside (Reno) card was for issuance to players as identification, primarily. Not sure if names were prited on the front or not. I picked up this blank card only a few years ago, long after they closed.
The Sahara VIP Gold Card was used for a short time when Paul Lowden & Sahara Gaming Inc. owned the Sahara (prior to being sold to Bennett, the current owner). The Sahara was behind the curve in installing a slot club, but didn't have the money to network all their machines, so they went with this style of player program. They kept your name on file, issued a pre-numbered card (but without imprinting your name). You got points for each buy-in from the change girls, who would write down your member ID number. This card is from my personal collection when I signed up for it (10 years ago or so, I think).
