The Big Bang Theory Jackpot Multiverse Slot Debuts at Borgata

by Leave a Comment

bigbangslotsKnock, knock, knock … Penny.

Knock, knock, knock … Penny.

Knock, knock, knock … Jackpot.

Except for that last bit, is there anyone in America that doesn’t instantly see Sheldon Cooper knocking on Penny’s apartment door when reading that?

It’s as iconic as Howard and his mother talking at the top of their lungs, Leonard mooning over Penny or Amy Farrah Fowler trying desperately to get a little affection.

Yes folks, even as it remains strong in its 10th season, The Big Bang Theory has joined the list of iconic shows that define television comedy. So obviously, the next step for Leonard, Howard, Raj, Amy, Bernadette and, of course, Sheldon, is to become a major slots theme as Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa introduces The Big Bang Theory Jackpot Multiverse.

The Big Bang Theory was already a popular slot from Aristocrat games, but it’s been revamped and re-imagined as The Big Bang Theory Jackpot Multiverse and is now available on Aristocrat’s exciting totally immersive, award winning Arc Double™ cabinet.

So, while the reels spin as on any other slot, this high-tech cabinet uses video and audio to immerse you in the show. In other words, Sheldon and the other characters might show up at any moment on the video screens to help you on your quest through the jackpot multi-verse, as this video from Aristocrat illustrates.

The game itself offers three different games on a five-reel, 25-payline with features that include Cosmic Multi-Wilds that teleport to other symbols in the game; Wild Stacks; The Big Bang Theory Jackpot Features, where players pick symbols for fast credits and/or a progressive; Bazinga! Bonus that gives players a spin on the Bazinga! Wheel for a chance at more features; Teleportation Accumulation free spins where players collect atoms to unlock additional reel sets; Supermassive Phenomenon, where symbols rapidly expand from 1 to 19 wilds during free spins; and Cookie Recombination, where players get 6 picks from 18 symbols for sweet rewards.

But most of all, it gives you a quirky, entertaining play filled with nuggets of wisdom from Sheldon and scenes from the show itself.

The Big Bang Theory is probably the most loved comedy on television of the last 10 years. So The Big Bang Theory with a whole multiverse of jackpots?

Bazinga!

Celebrate National Margarita Day at Borgata

by Leave a Comment

Gypsy WallYes, it’s true: Borgata does have a $300 margarita at our wildly fun Gypsy Bar. However, you don’t have to break the bank to celebrate National Margarita Day at Borgata. In fact, many of our signature bars and top-notch restaurants serve up a wide variety of your favorite tequila-based cocktail. With so many options to grab your favorite Mexican-influenced drink at Borgata, you’ll be able to celebrate Margarita Day any day that you want!

 

 

Gypsy Bar: Of course, there’s the $300 Royal Margarita Margarita Madness(CLASE AZUL ULTRA AÑEJO, fresh house sour, a squeeze of agave nectar, and a float of Grand Marnier 100yr), but that isn’t the only Marg on the menu. Try their signature Pomegranate Margarita (AVIÓN REPOSADO, Grand Marnier, fresh house sour and pomegranate juice), the Maui Waui (Maestro dobel muddled with fresh pineapple pieces, Cointreau, fresh house sour, and finished with Red Bull), Jalapeño (jalapeno-infused ESPOLÓN SILVER shaken with Cointreau, fresh house sour and a dash of agave nectar), or the Agave Suave (El Tesoro Paradiso mixed with Grand Marnier 100yr and fresh house sour).

Bobby Flay Steak: If you’re on Instagram, you can follow Bobby Flay’s cat, Nacho, who is also the inspiration behind the restaurant’s signature margarita.  Yes, it’s named Nacho, and it’s a flavorful combination of herradura anejo tequila, ancho reyes, king’s ginger, and orgeat.

Long Bar: Your favorite cosmopolitan-style watering hole has a unique take on the tequila cocktail. Try the Agave Punch, featuring Jose Cuervo silver, lemon juice, simple syrup, orange juice, and ruby port.

Wolfgang Puck American Grille: The bartenders at Chef Puck’s restaurant are always mixing one-of-a-kind libations to match his signature cuisine. Their Crimson Rocks is no exception: it’s a fusion of Herradura Reposado Tequila, fresh citrus, clover honey syrup, cayenne, and flamed rosemary.

Izakaya: Chef Partner Michael Schulson puts a uniquely Japanese twist on your favorite drink. His Spicy Margarita is an expertly-crafted combination of tequila, Cointreau, agave, and togarashi (chili pepper).

COMEDY REVIEW: Kathy Griffin at Borgata’s Event Center

by Leave a Comment

Kathy Griffin ECIf there’s one thing Kathy Griffin wants her audiences to know in 2017, it’s that she’s out to make a statement, regardless of what others think or feel.

That’s not news to anyone who has seen the red-haired comedienne in the past, or to anyone who has followed her career for years. Griffin’s show at Borgata’s Event Center on February 17 opened with a video montage that highlighted just how explicit the star has been through the years, from her hilarious confrontation on The View to political commentators criticizing her remarks after winning a Grammy Award (“Suck it, Jesus”).

But if there’s anything that fans of Griffin’s comedy could see during her latest set here in Atlantic City, she’s not only unchanged but almost seems liberated by the fact that, to use her words, she doesn’t “give a f*ck anymore.” I’ve seen Griffin several times before, and she seemed so much more at ease and natural this time than in previous shows.

That doesn’t mean she held back. Her signature celebrity gossip was as sharp and as biting as ever, and she tackled everything, from playing an incoherent, drunken cell phone message from Andy Dick’s companion at a holiday party to dishing over Griffin’s new next-door neighbors, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. There was also plenty of talk about Griffin’s beloved mother and her affinity for seniors, which she discussed in the context of having Thanksgiving this year with Phil Donahue and Marlo Thomas.

Kathy GriffinThere were, of course, plenty of political jokes, too, and Donald Trump wasn’t spared. Besides the typical anecdotes that you’d expect from Griffin (jokes about his hair, his weight, his kids), probably the most intriguing story was that she once road in a golf cart with Trump and Liza Minnelli. Truly, you have to wonder how Griffin gets herself into these situations!

She ended her set with a play-by-play recount of witnessing Mariah Carey’s now infamous New Year’s Eve performance debacle. Griffin had a unique perspective as she was hosting her annual New Year’s Eve show on CNN with Anderson Cooper in Times Square and could see the action first-hand. Griffin concluded the evening the same way she claims Carey ended her performance (an ending no one on TV could see)—she took off her shoes and threw them off stage. That seems to be a pretty fitting conclusion for both Mariah and for Kathy.

Meet Borgata’s Pick the Pros 2017 MVP’s

by Leave a Comment

As another season comes to a close and we all begin to count the days until training camp begins again, we’d just like to pause to recognize all of our loyal customers who participated in this year’s Pick the Pros football promotion. Borgata awarded over $1 million in cash, plus $660,000 in Bonus Slot Dollar Prize Money throughout year. The popular contest, which challenges My Borgata card members to pick the most weekly winners in pro football, received over 520,000 entries this season via our many Pick the Pros kiosks located on the casino floor. That’s some Super Bowl sized game playing!

pick-pros-203x185

In addition to all of the weekly fun, we have a few “all-star” acknowledgements and fun facts that demonstrate how passionate Borgata visitors are about football…and winning great prizes!

  • Six individuals throughout the season had a “perfect week” in which they selected every single game correctly AND chose the exact tiebreaker score. Kudos to: Caroline B., Paul B., Carole R., William H., Kenneth C., and Nancy C.
  • Irene S., James Q., and Edward G. get honors for being winners during three separate weeks when there was only one winner for the week.
  • The largest lump sum of cash awarded to an individual in a single week was $20,000, and four lucky winners hold that honor: Irene S., James Q., Edward G., and Charlton H.
  • Thomas R. was the individual with the most correct picks over the course of the season, with a total of 1,365.
  • The week with the most total correct picks was Super Bowl week (week 21), which saw 372,171 correct, followed by week 17, the last week of the regular season, with 257,796 correct.

Whether your favorite team won or lost the big game, Borgata’s Pick the Pros contest participants were winners of big fun and plenty of great prizes. See you next season!
