Heidi, everyone’s favorite beer maiden, welcomes Borgata guests to unlimited fun in this newest game, which can land lucky players up to 100 free spins. Players spin for 5 or more scattered Green, Purple, or Red Heidi symbols and are awarded the Bonus. The more Heidi symbols that appear, the more Free Spins are awarded, from 5 to 100 Free Spins! If a Purple Heidi symbol is triggered in the bonus combination, the symbol is replaced with a Locked Wild symbol, and the following symbol remains locked until the end of the Free Spins Bonus.

If a Red Heidi symbol is triggered in the bonus combination, players are awarded 1 spin of the Wheel Feature before the Free Games are played. The Wheel Feature prizes consist of Extra Free Games, Tapper Feature, Hans Wilds Feature, Heidi, Hans, Accordion, or Pretzel Progressive Jackpots.

If your thirst isn’t quenched yet, there’s even more opportunities for players to win big. Triggered in the Wheel Feature by landing on the Two Beer Mug symbols, the Hans Wild Feature randomly places Wild symbols on the Free Games reels. There’s also the Tapper Feature, which is triggered in the Wheel Feature by landing on the Tapper symbol. During the Tapper Feature, Heidi will pour a drink on random reels and add Wild reels to the current spin.

What are you waiting for? Grab your largest pint glass and get ready to refill again and agin at Heidi’s Bier Haus, now featured on Borgata’s winning casino floor.

Experiencing a Signature Shave at Borgata’s Barbershop

by Leave a Comment

The Barbershop at Spa ToccareI never had a straight razor face shave before, primarily because I shave using my old trusty blades every morning. But also, let’s just admit it: I was slightly taken back by the notion of the straight razor. I guess I’ve watched Sweeney Todd one too many times!  Fear factor aside, I wasn’t quite sure how I’d feel about a blade coming that close to my face: would the entire process feel uncomfortable?

However, after my experience at Borgata’s Barbershop getting a Signature Shave, all that changed. My face never felt as smooth and looked as clean as it was after leaving the Borgata Barbershop, and all the straight razor fear was unwarranted. In fact, the entire process, even the actual shave, was extremely relaxing, almost meditative.

The treatment began after my stylist made sure I was fully comfortable in the chair. A warm towel  was placed on my face to start the process. Then, the stylist applied a mild exfoliant to really loosen up any stubborn hairs. Afterwards, my face was massaged with pre-shave oil to help the razor glide more efficiently and affectively.

Then came the point of no return: the straight razor. My fears were quickly diminished once my stylist began the shave.  After a liberal application of shaving cream, the razor effortlessly breezed through even my most stubborn stubble. I was amazed at how comfortable the entire process was. In fact, with my eyes closed, I felt like I could have even nodded off.

After my shave was complete, a hydrating mineral mask was applied to help replenish any moisture that was lost during the process. After a warm towel was applied to remove the mask, an ice-cold cloth woke up my entire face. A generous dose of post-shave moisturizers helped calm any inflamed spots (although there really weren’t many to speak of).

All-in-all, the entire shave, from the first warm towel to the moisturizers at the end, took a little under an hour. The results couldn’t have been better: I could could not believe how smooth my face was. Even as a regular shaver, it was amazing how different this treatment was compared to my daily routine.

You can book your own Signature Shave at Borgata’s The Barbershop. The treatment is $55. If you’re looking to clean up your mane while in the chair, book a Signature Shave and Haircut for $75, or, go for The Whole Nine Yards, which includes Borgata’s Sports Manicure, Signature Shave, and Haircut for $95.  Reservations can be made by calling 609-317-1000.

5 Reasons Why It’s OK to be Basic

by Leave a Comment

iStock_000010502674SmallOn a daily basis, I probably get called “basic” two to five times a day. Whether it’s because I enjoy listening to Drake’s new album while sporting a North Face to stay warm, or it’s the times I’m assembling the squad before an AC night out to take the perfect “candid” photo. Basically, I exude “basic.”

What exactly is being basic?

Being typical. Not having an “original thought.” Using the dog filter on Snapchat.
Whatever definition you give the term, I guarantee I fit the part. TBH, I don’t hate it.

I re-watch Grey’s Anatomy just because and obvi, I shorten words in regular convos. I just can’t help myself. Does that make me a bad person? If anything, it makes me more enjoyable.

Here’s why:

  1. Basic means that you are one with others.

Basic people share the same taste and share the same language – making socializing easy. How many times can a group of people say “it’s lit”, unnecessarily drop the F bomb, or argue about who’s the best rapper in the game right now (omg did you hear Kendrick’s new song?). These are all basic conversations that we indulge in on a regular basis… because why not?

  1. Basic people love selfies

No matter how many times a girl posts a selfie, she’s guaranteed to get loads of likes. Almost every basic person follows a Kardashian on Snapchat, and all they do is post selfies. The perfectly lit shot with a slight pout, smirk, or grin is all it takes. Basic has never felt so good! Self-esteem levels are shooting through the roof with just one basic selfie at a time. Before judging, is that necessarily a bad thing? Love yourself – who cares what other people think.

selfie

  1. Basic means 🔥 Instagram captions & edits

To build off of point 3, if anyone knows about good IG captions it’s the girl who selfies harder than the rest. She’s the one friend you go to for approval before posting. “Do you like this one or should I just go with Mayfair?” Your friend probably listened extra hard to Frank Ocean’s album, not because he’s talented, but because she skimmed a Buzzfeed article about the best Insta-worthy captions off his new record. Nonetheless, she got more likes than you.

  1. Basic people are the go-to drunk pizza partners

Who in his/her right mind can talk down to someone who needs a nice slice at the end of a fun night? Throw some penne vodka on my pie and I am there. There’s nothing better than a person who is always down to ruin the diet they whine all week long about.

Lastly,

  1. Basic people love going to Atlantic City

Hitting up a club to listen to house music, scoring free tequila shots from a group of guys, and winning money with your liquid courage and semi-if-any blackjack skills. There’s potential greatness on the casino floor, and basic people love it. These are the same people blasting Beyoncé with their sweatpants-wearing squad while driving down the Garden State Parkway. Sounds like an epic weekend to me!

 

Before calling someone basic, just realize that we all are at some point. I’m a girl who enjoys great things, and if that makes me basic – than I don’t want to be anything else.

Sting’s “57th and 9th” World Tour Coming to Borgata

by Leave a Comment

Writers at Austin 360 had this to say about Sting’s 57th and 9th World Tour: “Sting showcases versatility, depth and enduring rock power…He proved he still has the chops to deliver a thrilling set of strobe enhanced, gut punch rock ‘n’ roll.” Vancouver Weekly raved, “Sting is a universal story teller, built from the stuff of what they say legends are made of.” Now, the legendary performer is bringing his sold-out 57th and 9th World Tour to Borgata’s Event Center for one night only, September 3, 2017 at 8PM.

Sting

The tour is named after Sting’s twelfth solo studio album, 57th & 9th, his first rock/pop project in over a decade, that was released November 11, 2016. The ten-song collection represents a wide range of Sting’s musical and songwriting styles from the raucous, guitar-driven first single, “I Can’t Stop Thinking About You” to“Petrol Head” and the anthemic “50,000.”  On the 57th & 9th tour, Sting is joined by a 3-piece band including his longtime guitarist, Dominic Miller, plus Josh Freese (drums) and Rufus Miller (guitar) with backing vocals from Diego Navaira and Jerry Fuentes of The Last Bandoleros.

Tickets to the Borgata concert are currently on sale via theborgata.com. Several VIP packages, which include exclusive merchandise designed only for package holders, are also available. For more information, click here.
