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

Sex and the City: Are you a Carrie or a Samantha? Join all the famous ladies of the hit TV series as you try to win the Mr. Big bonus. To paraphrase Carrie, “I like my money where I can see it!”

Cher: Do you believe in life after love? If so, have we got a way to turn back time and have some fun while doing it: the Cher slot machine, featuring the one and only award-winning diva herself!

Titanic: Heart of the Ocean: The story of Jack and Rose’s doomed love affair touched hearts, made Leonardo DiCaprio a superstar, and (still) has us all singing Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On.” Now you can play along like one Jack’s “French girls” on this interactive game.

Wizard of Oz, Featuring Judy Garland: If Judy Garland isn’t a gay icon, I don’t know who is!  You can relive her classic performance in The Wizard of Oz by spinning for big bonuses, plus a visit from Glinda the Good!  Click those red heels three times!

Borgata’s Metropolitan has a menu that will satisfy your pumpkin spice cravings.  During the entire month of October, the all-day eatery is serving up a special menu that includes all things pumpkin, the Pumpkin Patch.  During breakfast (7AM to 11:30AM), try the Pumpkin Pancakes, served with cream cheese icing and cinnamon butter, or, a classic Pumpkin Muffin.  You can also enjoy the signature drink of fall, a Pumpkin Latte. Or, for the adventurous, there’s a Pumpkin Mimosa.  For lunch and dinner (11:30AM to close), there’s a delectable Pumpkin Soup, which infuses the flavors of roast vegetables plus a special Autumn Salad, featuring, you guessed it, grilled pumpkin.  For your sweet tooth, try a Mini Pumpkin Cheesecake or classic Pumpkin Pie.  Or drink your dessert with a Pumpkin Martini, a fusion of vanilla vodka, pumpkin puree, creme, and crushed graham crackers.

For a quick bite of pumpkin on the run, head over to Borgata Baking Company, where you can indulge in Pumpkin Cannoli, a Pumpkin Tart, or Pumpkin Spice Coffee, or stop into Bread and Butter for Homemade Pumpkin Bread (with a carmel apple).  Of course, there’s the place where “Pumpkin Spice” was practically invented, Starbucks Coffee, where you can order up a signature Pumpkin Spice Latte, or a new Pumpkin Spice Chai, to wash down a Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin.
