"Upon detecting the incident, the company promptly took steps to respond to the incident with the assistance of external cybersecurity experts and in cooperation with law enforcement."

Station Casinos suffered outages in the past
While Station Casinos itself has not previously been publicly associated with major cyber incidents, Reddit users have reported unexplained technical outages affecting company systems in the past.
One Reddit post from August 2025 described disruptions impacting slot machines and ATM operations. “Red Rocks casino is currently down, along with the ATMs,” the user wrote.
“This is ongoing, and it may relate to all Station Casinos.”
At the time, no cybersecurity incident was publicly confirmed, so it remains unknown whether it was related to a cyber incident or technical issues.
In 2024, the company experienced disruptions to its operations due to the CrowdStrike outage, which knocked 8.5 million Windows devices offline.
Las Vegas casinos remain prime cyber targets
The disclosure adds Station Casinos to the growing list of casino companies targeted by cybercriminals in recent years.
In 2023, ransomware attacks against MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment were linked to the Scattered Spider and ALPHV groups. The attacks caused widespread operational disruption across Las Vegas and reportedly cost MGM alone more than $100 million.
More recently, in 2025, Boyd Gaming disclosed a cyberattack that resulted in employee data theft. Attackers stole Social Security numbers, pushing Boyd Gaming employees to file a lawsuit against the company.
The same year, the Anubis ransomware gang claimed to have breached the $700 million Catawba Two Kings Casino, stealing detailed architectural blueprints. Among the stolen data were allegedly layouts of security systems and the casino vault itself.
DraftKings disclosed a credential-stuffing breach that gave attackers unauthorized access to customer accounts and sensitive personal information.
In 2026, ShinyHunters claimed to have exfiltrated 800,000 records from Wynn Resorts and issued a public ultimatum threatening to release the data.
Wynn confirmed the breach days later and reassured stakeholders that the stolen data had not been leaked. In April 2026, reports revealed that more than 21,000 employees had been affected in total. The company’s statements indicate that it likely paid a ransom to the attackers.
