>To my knowledge, Steve Wynn is credited with starting the first slot club at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City in order to keep the repeat business coming back.

By 1985, and I think for a few years afterwards, tickets, which were
worth 50¢ each, came out of the machines. I don't think anyone
registered for a club. Each $1 video poker machine had a countdown
that started at 75 that showed how many more coins were needed to have
a ticket come out which subjected the process to wonderful abuse. It
was easy to find machines that only needed a coin or two played to get
a ticket.
