Hot Streak Alert: $2 Million Jackpot & Sizzling Summer Sweepstakes

by Leave a Comment

What goes up must come down — and in the world of online slot jackpots, that could mean big money falling into your lap.

Since launching The Big One jackpot several years ago on BorgataCasino.com, we’ve seen the jackpot climb and climb. Today, it sits at over $2 million. Actually, sitting isn’t exactly the right word. By playing select online slots, you’re feeding the jackpot and helping it grow.

Playing it also means the chance to pop it. And if you’re the lucky one, you’ll walk away with the biggest jackpot in New Jersey online casino history. To qualify, you need to bet at least $1.35 on a single spin.

Loot’Enkhamun, Going Nuts, Melon Madness, and Biker Pigs are all part of The Big One, so take them for a spin, go on a hot streak, and maybe — just maybe —hit it big.

Speaking of hot streaks, we’ve got a Sizzling Summer Sweepstakes worth $5,000 in prizes. For your chance to win as much as $1,000 cash, opt in to the Sizzling Summer $5,000 Sweepstakes between July 28 and August 6.

For every 20 iRewards Points you earn, you’ll receive one entry into the random drawing. Plus, you can grab more entries by redeeming your iRPs. For all the info, see our Sizzling Summer $5,000 Sweepstakes web page.

REVIEW: Theresa Caputo at Borgata’s Event Center

by Leave a Comment

Let’s face it: whether or not you believe in mediums, Theresa Caputo can put on a show.

And that’s exactly what she did at Borgata on Friday, July 22 at the sold-out Event Center. The star of Long Island Medium brought her signature blonde hair, long manicured nails, a sparkling rainbow-stripe dress, and her often times humorous and flamboyant personality to Atlantic City for an experience that’s hard to describe.

Caputo claims that she has been seeing and sensing “Spirit” since she was four years old, but that it took until she was in her 20’s that she could actually “communicate” with the dearly departed. Since her revelation, she’s made a career out of it: she’s written multiple bestselling books, toured the world with her live show Theresa Caputo: The Experience, and, of course, starred in TLC’s Long Island Medium.

If you’re looking for a feel-good, happy way to kick off the weekend, The Experience doesn’t quite fit that bill (despite Caputo’s crass jokes and her glitter-adorned Polaroid selfie camera that she uses throughout the show).  There’s a lot of grief that’s explored in pretty explicit detail from audience members who have lost young children, partners, or loved ones in tragic ways. A crew of Caputo’s camera staff follow her around to zoom in on audience members who get “readings,” and the film is broadcast live on giant screens. Throughout the Event Center, there was plenty of crying as those in attendance explored everything from the color of lipstick used by a mortician during a funeral to a dead father visiting his three-year old daughter during a car ride.

Of course, there’s skeptics as to whether or not these spiritual readings are actually legitimate, but don’t tell that to the thousands who showed up to Borgata to get a first-hand experience of the Long Island Medium herself.  Still not sure what to think?  Check out Theresa Caputo’s schedule and experience The Experience yourself!

by Leave a Comment

“Life is a game, where the player must appear ridiculous.”

If the Dowager Countess takes her own advice, then the brand new Downton Abbey slot machines at Borgata will leave you looking quite ridiculous, indeed. The much beloved domestic and international TV drama, featuring an aristocratic family and their servants, is now released as an exciting and challenging new game at Borgata!  Dinner is served!

The 25 line/40 line base on the new machine grows up to 100 lines for big wins.  Scatters work together to trigger features, with two scatters on the same reel turning wild.  There’s over nine bonuses awaiting players, and it’s fairly sure that the Dowager Countess will make a guest appearance during gameplay!

And, make sure that your friends are on their lucky gambling streak before you try this new machine at Borgata.  As the Countess says, “An unlucky friend is tiresome enough; an unlucky acquaintance is intolerable.”
