This weekend, two of your favorite NJ gambling websites both have an offer waiting for you that I know you can’t wait to get your hands on. Welcome to Mystery Bonus weekend at both Golden Nugget Online Casino and Caesars Online Casino!

NJ online casino players are a very diverse group. But one thing that all gamblers have in common is that we love getting pleasant surprises.

Therefore, as nice as it is to know ahead of time not only that you are getting a bonus but how much it will be, not knowing the amount, especially if it could be big, is more exciting.

That’s why one of the most popular kinds of bonuses on NJ gambling websites is a mystery bonus. And this weekend is about to be twice as nice for all of you who play online or on the mobile app at both Golden Nugget and Caesars because the offer is available at both places simultaneously. So, lucky you can get not one mystery bonus but two!

Hidden Treasure Mystery Bonus at Golden Nugget Online Casino

During the weekend of Fri., Aug. 6 through Sun., Aug. 8, Golden Nugget Online Casino is inviting all registered players to go on a treasure hunt.

What you will discover after you “unlock the enigma” is anybody’s guess. So, I wouldn’t opt into this venture with the expectation that you will “find your fortune” although Golden Nugget hints that it is possible.

But this much is guaranteed. No one who participates will walk away empty-handed. You will get a bonus. And all you have to do is deposit $20. So, you would have to be out of your mind to say “no.”

How the Golden Nugget Hidden Treasure Mystery Bonus offer works

This promotion starts Fri., Aug. 6 and continues until 11:59 p.m. Sun., Aug. 8. If you wish to participate, here is what you need to do:

• Log into your GoldenNuggetCasino.com account anytime during the promotion period.
• Claim the offer from My Bonuses.
• Make a single deposit of $20 or more.

Terms and conditions

You can only claim this offer once, and it must be with a single deposit. If you wish to deposit more than $20, you can do so, but it will have no bearing on the size of your bonus.

After you receive your bonus, you have up to seven days to clear it. The wagering requirements for clearing the bonus, as listed below, are the same as for most Golden Nugget Online Casino bonuses.

• Slots: 10x bonus
• Video Poker, Blackjack, Roulette, and other table games: 40x bonus

Sports bets do not count.

Prior to completing the necessary wagering, the bonus, your $20 deposit tied to the bonus, and any associated winnings remain temporarily locked into your account. However, you can still withdraw other unrelated funds in your cashable wallet.

As soon as the bonus is fully cleared, provided you do so within the allotted time frame, you will have full access to the bonus and any winnings from the bonus or whatever is left of those funds. However, any attempt to withdraw unavailable funds prematurely, or canceling the bonus, or failing to complete the required wagering on time will result in forfeiting both the bonus and any related winnings.

Risk or Reward? Which Caesars bonus will you take?

At Caesars Online Casino, the choice is yours. Are you willing to take a chance with a mystery bonus, hoping it will be big, or would you rather play it safe with a fixed bonus?

If you’re not sure, you can think about it. But don’t take too long because this promotion is valid for two days only. It starts Fri., Aug. 6 and ends at 11:59 p.m. Sat., Aug. 7.

How the Players’ Choice bonus offer at Caesars Online Casino works

You’re in the driver’s seat regarding what type of bonus you get. So, the first thing you must do is pick which one of the following two offers you prefer.

• Choose RISK and receive a Mystery Bonus between $10 and $1,000 in bonus play.
• Choose REWARD and receive a 40% deposit match bonus on a deposit up to $100.

How to participate in the promotion

If you wish to participate, here are the steps you need to follow:

• Log into your Caesars Casino & Sportsbook account on 8/6 or 8/7.
• Click on “My Account” and then on “My Bonuses & offers.”
• Enter the code RISK or REWARD and click on “Get Details.”
• Locate your offer under “Available Bonuses” and click on “Deposit” next to the bonus.
• Make your deposit and claim your bonus.

Terms and conditions

You can only claim this offer once, and you must pick either RISK or REWARD. You cannot pick both bonuses, and once you pick one or the other, your decision is final.

If you choose the REWARD bonus, the amount of your bonus will be determined by the size of your deposit. The maximum bonus you can receive–provided you deposit $100—is $40.

Players who claim the REWARD bonus will receive it as soon as they make their qualifying deposit. Players who choose the RISK bonus will have to wait seven days for the random drawing, which will determine what their prize will be.

Either way, you have up to seven days from the time you receive your bonus to claim it. The wagering requirements to clear the bonus are as follows:

• Slots: 5x bonus
• Video Poker: 10x bonus
• All other casino games: 25x bonus

As with all bonuses at this casino, prior to satisfying the casino’s wagering requirements, both the bonus itself and any additional winnings therefrom will remain temporarily unavailable for withdrawal. Also, any attempted withdrawal of unavailable funds prematurely, or canceling the bonus, or failure to complete the wagering requirements on time will result in forfeiture of the entire bonus plus any bonus-related winnings.

Are you willing to gamble on a Mystery Bonus? You could win up to $1,000!

As mentioned, if you claim the Mystery Bonus, instead of getting your bonus right away, you will have to wait a whole week before you even know the amount. Then it will all come down to the luck of the draw.

The minimum bonus you can receive will be $10, while the maximum will be $1,000. The following table shows the breakdown of how many players will receive each possible prize.

Bonus Prize Matrix

 

No. of winners	Prize
5	$1,000 bonus
10	$500 bonus
25	$250 bonus
50	$100 bonus
100	$50 bonus
500	$20 bonus

 

However, no one goes away from this drawing empty-handed. Any remaining players who have made a qualifying deposit and claimed the Mystery Bonus prize will receive a bonus of $10.

Summary and conclusion

You know better than anyone else what kind of player you are. If you dislike uncertainty or if getting a small bonus would leave you very disappointed, you should probably take the 40 percent deposit match bonus. But if you can afford to make the maximum deposit of $100, do so in order to receive the biggest bonus possible.

On the other hand, if you don’t mind taking more of a risk in the hope of getting a big reward, go for the Mystery Bonus. However, in that case, only deposit the minimum. That way, if your bonus should be small, you won’t be too disappointed. You will feel like you got a fair deal. Or, if you do win big, you will feel like you have won the lottery!

 

 

 

Caesars Online Casino has come up with another incredible offer you can’t refuse, and this time it’s valid for the whole month of July. If you already knew about it and have been accessing your daily free entry into the $25K prize draw every day starting July 1, great. But if not, rest assured that it’s not too late to start today. The month of July isn’t even half over yet, so you still have plenty of time to rack up a ton of entries.

Best of all, it costs you nothing. You don’t have to make a deposit or play if you don’t want to–it’s entirely up to you!

How to participate in the July 1-31 $35K Casino Bonus Play Giveaway

This colossal Caesars giveaway is open to all registered NJ Caesars Online Casino players. $35,000 in bonus money is up for grabs, and the only less than the great thing about it is that Caesars makes you wait until mid-August to find out who the winners are. But when all is said and done, 420 lucky players will each win a share, and one of them could be you.

Ultimately, it will all come down to the luck of the draw. But unlike in many other drawings where the amount of play determines how many entries you get, this is an equal opportunity drawing. In other words, the smallest players have exactly the same chance of winning as the biggest players.

But first things first. If you wish to participate, here are the easy steps you need to follow.

• Keep logging in to your Caesars Casino & Sportsbook account once every day this month or on as many days as possible.
• Click on “My Account” and then on “My Bonuses & Offers.”
• Look for the $25,000 Casino Bonus Play Giveaway under “Available Bonuses” and click on “Claim” next to that offer to receive that day’s free entry.

However, even if you’re unable to log in every day this month, try to do so at least 10x because that will earn you 10 extra entries into the drawing. Also, to pick up an extra 20 entries, simply open a Caesars Rewards account if you haven’t already and make sure it is linked to your Caesars Online Casino account.

When will the drawing take place, and how much can you win?

Caesars will hold a random drawing on Tues., 8/10/21 to determine the 420 prizewinners. All prizes will be in the form of bonus money which will be credited to players’ accounts by Sun., 8/15.

The prizes range from $20 in casino bonus play to $500 in casino bonus play, to be distributed as follows:

• 5 winners: $500 casino bonus
• 35 winners: $200 casino bonus
• 50 winners: $100 casino bonus
• 130 winners: $50 casino bonus
• 200 winners: $20 casino bonus

No player can win more than one prize. Upon receipt of one of these prizes, winning players then have up to seven days to clear the bonus

The wagering requirements to clear the bonus are as follows:

• Slots: 2x bonus
• Video Poker: 4x bonus
• All other games: 10x bonus

Until the player completes the necessary wagering and the bonus is fully cleared, both the bonus money itself and any additional winnings associated with it will remain temporarily frozen in the player’s account. However, all of this money or whatever is left of it will then become available for withdrawal. As with all casino bonuses, canceling the bonus, or any attempt to withdraw unavailable funds prematurely, or failure to complete the required wagering on time will result in forfeiture of both the bonus and any additional bonus-associated winnings.

Why the July 2021 $25K Casino Bonus Play Giveaway at Caesars Online Casino is a great offer

I like this promotion a lot because there are some nice prizes. Yet it’s free to enter so everyone has an equal chance. Since the prizes are in the form of bonus money rather than immediately available cash, that’s when the winners will have to do some wagering. However, the wagering requirements to clear the bonus are very reasonable.

 

 

Each month Golden Nugget Online Casino seems to find an innovative way to add another exciting extra to its next leg of its $5 Million Dollar Yearly Race to make it even more spectacular than the previous month. So why should the Golden Nugget July Race be any different?

It’s the race of a lifetime, so if you think you have what it takes to pull ahead of the pack, don’t even think about holding back. Seize the opportunity and give it all you’ve got!

This month Golden Nugget has raised the prize pool to its biggest monthly total ever–$1 million! 3,000 lucky players will share in the bounty with the player finishing in first place receiving $100,000! All prizes will be in the form of bonus money credited to the player’s account.

When does the Golden Nugget July Race take place?

Like all of the other monthly races at this casino, the July race got started on the first day of the month. Then it continues every day that month thereafter with no break until it finally wraps up at 11:59 p.m. on the last day of the month.

Each monthly race is treated as its own separate entity with its own prize pool and leaderboard. However, each monthly race is also part of the yearlong $5 Million Race. All of the points you earn in any given month will also count towards the grand total of leaderboard points earned for the year.

But keep in mind that as great as it would be to end the year with a prize in the $5 Million Dollar Race, the odds are stacked against you. Golden Nugget reserves those prizes for the top 200 players only. So, it is very possible to win one or more monthly prizes but come up empty in the yearlong race. As you might expect, all of the prizes in the yearlong race are incredible. But so is the amount of money you would need to spend betting to snag one of these prizes.

How to participate in the Golden Nugget Race

All of the Golden Nugget races mentioned above are open to all registered Golden Nugget Online Casino players regardless of whether or not you have participated in any previous races. You can also enter any currently offered race at any time, including after the race has already started. But obviously, because every day counts, the earlier in the month you enter, the better your chances.

The only exception would be during those months when “Everyone’s A Winner,” as was the case last month. That’s when the day you start is less important because, on top of the main prizes, Golden Nugget also offers a secondary prize pool with everyone who participates getting an equal share.

If you wish to participate in the Golden Nugget Race, you still can. But time is of the essence because many players have already been diligently making daily deposits and playing, racking up points since day 1. Here’s what you need to do to get started, if you haven’t already.

• Log into your GoldenNuggetCasino.com account, the sooner the better.
• Click on Available Bonuses and opt into the promotion called $1 Million July 2021 Race – Golden Games.
• Make a single deposit of $20 or more.
• Start playing!

How to earn leaderboard points in the Golden Nugget July Race

If you participate, keep in mind that you’re competing against other players, all of whom are just as eager as you are to win a piece of the prize pool. Therefore, make sure before you start that you will be able to commit the time and money necessary to have a fighting chance.

The last monthly race that did not include the Everyone’s A Winner feature was in May. That race had a total prize pool of $250K and 1,000 winners, but the July race gives you better odds by giving away more money with more people winning prizes. This time, the total prize pool is $1,000,000, and instead of awarding prizes only to the top 1,000 players, it will do so for 3,000 players.

But even so, there will be many more people in the July race than there are prizes to give away. Therefore, the very low minimum requirement to be eligible for a prize of only 50 leaderboard points is meaningless. You will need many times as many points to finish the money. That is why having the requisite bankroll to be able to keep making deposits and playing at a high level every day or nearly every day is essential.

The following table shows the number of leaderboard points that you will receive for different types of activity. Deposits earn points at the fastest rate but need to be at least $50 to count. All of your casino play also counts, but slots earn points five times as fast as other games. Sports bets no longer count at all.

 

Player Activity	Leaderboard Points Awarded
Wager $100 on slot games	5
Wager $100 on table games, blackjack, roulette, or video poker	1
Each day you deposit $50-$99	20
Each day you deposit $100 or more	40

How the prizes will be distributed

Assuming you are not so far behind that you have zero chance of winning a prize, you will have to wait patiently until the end of the month to find out. There is no way to know for certain whether or not you will make the cut and if so, what the prize will be before the end of the race. However, the leaderboard is updated daily, so it is easy to check where you stand as often as you wish.

Mid-Month Fuel Up: 50 Free Spins for the top 2,000 players

Meanwhile, Golden Nugget has added a new feature to all of the monthly races this year that makes the long wait more tolerable because it gives participants another prize to shoot for in the middle of the month. Each month on the designated day, the top 2,000 players on the leaderboard will receive 50 free spins!

This month the 50 free spins will be awarded on Wed., July 14.

If you receive the offer, be sure to claim it from Available Bonuses. Then you have up to seven days to complete the free spins on any of the eligible games.

All winnings from the free spins will be credited to players’ accounts in the form of bonus money. Players then have up to another seven days to clear the bonus. Depending on your game choice, the wagering requirements are as follows:

• Slots: 1x bonus
• Video poker, blackjack, roulette, and other table games: 4x bonus

Bonus money prizes at the end of the Golden Nugget July race to the top 3,000 players

Not everyone who wins 50 free spins in the middle of the month will necessarily win another prize at the end of the month. Conversely, players who don’t win the mid-month prize might still have a shot at an end of the month prize.

The following table shows how the massive $1,000,000 prize pool up for grabs in the Golden Nugget July race will be distributed to the 3,000 recipients.

 

Leaderboard Rank	Prize
1st place	$100,000 free play bonus
2nd place	$75,000 free play bonus
3rd place	$50,000 free play bonus
4th place	$40,000 free play bonus
5th place	$30,000 free play bonus
6th place	$25,000 free play bonus
7th place	$22,500 free play bonus
8th place	$20,000 free play bonus
9th place	$17,500 free play bonus

2,001st-2,500th place	$15 free play bonus
2,5001st-3,000th place	$10 free play bonus

Wagering requirements for clearing the bonus

Golden Nugget will determine all of the winners and award their prizes by 5 p.m. on Wed., Aug. 4, 2021.

The same small wagering requirements listed above (1x the bonus for slots and 4x the bonus for any other casino game) for any bonus money won in the free spins also apply to these prizes. Once again, players have up to seven days to complete the wagering.

We recommend clearing both bonuses with slots, That way, they remain risk-free bonuses. There is no way you can possibly lose any of your own money clearing them. But to maximize your win potential, you should only choose slots with a 96 percent or higher RTP.

Golden Nugget $5 Million Dollar Race

As we mentioned, all of the points you earn from your deposits and play in each monthly race, including the Golden Nugget July race, also count in the yearlong $5 Million Race. For the overwhelming majority of players, winning one of the fabulous prizes that Golden Nugget will award based on the results for the entire year is just a pipe dream. But its 200 top players will be celebrating big time.

Even the smallest year-end prize (12 monthly bonuses of $100 each for the players in 151^st to 200^th place) is huge. Meanwhile, look what Golden Nugget will be dishing out to the top three players of 2021:

• 1^st place: A Bentley Bentayga valued at $200,000 or a $120,000 free play bonus awarded in 12 equal monthly installments
• 2^nd place: A Coast-to-Coast Vacation valued at $75,000 or a $60,000 free play bonus awarded in 12 equal monthly installments
• 3^rd place: A pair of luxury watches valued at $55,000 or a $48,000 free play bonus awarded in 12 equal monthly installments

The bottom line

Golden Nugget has quadrupled the size of the prize pool from a total of $250K in May to $1 million dollars this month. Also, 3x as many players will win end-of-the-month prizes–3,000 vs. 1,000. In fact, this month, the player in 1,000^th place will receive $75 in bonus money vs. only $10 in bonus money previously. These are great improvements. However, some players still only receive a $10 or $15 bonus, which is a skimpy return indeed after all of the wagering they have to do to earn it.

Now that you know what the possible prizes are, here are the questions only you can answer. Are your chances of finishing in the money sufficiently good to warrant the substantial amount of time and money you will have to commit? And is this an activity you can afford?

If not, leave the Golden Nugget races to the high rollers and opt-in to other promotions that are far better suited for your budget and style of play. But if you can honestly answer both questions with a resounding “yes”, you have a golden opportunity at your fingertips that’s right up your alley.

 

If you love playing online slots, you have to love playing on the NJ gambling website that’s home to 807 online slots—Golden Nugget Online Casino.

But each week, only one can be the Golden Nugget Game of the Week, where every real money spin is worth double Golden Points. This week, the featured slot is Triple Cash Wheel.

Triple Cash Wheel would be a dynamite choice even without the extra double points incentive because this innovative game offers something for everyone. Only rarely do you find a game that combines the classic, retro symbols and simple design of a bygone era with the thrill-a-minute fast gameplay and many ways to win that 21^st century technology makes possible. But Triple Cash Wheel, with triple the action, accomplishes this feat seamlessly.

Don’t let the familiar symbols fool you into thinking this slot is simply a modernized version of the machines your grandma might have played where all you had to do was line up fruit, bars, bells, or sevens. This game is different from any slot you have ever played!

Of course, that can be said about many of the new slots popping up at Golden Nugget and other NJ online casinos. Slot manufacturers have become very creative in designing games that are capable of giving a very wide spectrum of players both more ways to win and more fun and excitement than ever before. But when you get the rare opportunity to combine all that with double points, like you do this week with Triple Cash Wheel, opting-in should be a no-brainer.

How to participate in the Golden Nugget Triple Cash Wheel Game of the Week promotion

This special offer is open to all registered players at Golden Nugget Online Casino. The promotion started at 12 a.m. on Mon., June 21 and continues through 11:59 p.m. Thurs., June 24 only.

Simply log into your account online or on a supported iOS or Android mobile phone or tablet, open Triple Cash Wheel, and start playing for real money. Your double points will be tabulated and credited automatically as you play.

Triple Cash Wheel basics

The vast majority of slots available to NJ online casino players today are single games consisting of five reels and 20 or more paylines. However, Triple Cash Wheel gives you 3x the action because it includes three slots in one!

This innovative video slot from Bally’s and SG Digital contains three separate grids, each consisting of five reels, three rows, and 20 fixed paylines. However, in effect, every spin you take will involve all 15 reels and all 60 paylines. You don’t have the option to reduce your bet size by only activating just some of the reels and/or paylines as you do with some games. All three grids are always in play with all 15 reels and all 60 paylines spinning simultaneously.

The advantage is many ways to win on every spin and very frequent payouts. Prolonged dry spells are rare due to there being so many possibilities for paying combinations.

The disadvantage, if you are a small player, is a relatively high minimum bet size. Also, because each bet not only gets evenly distributed across all three grids but is also used to cover the game’s special features, the majority of the payouts are small.

Triple Cash Wheel does not offer a progressive jackpot. However, thanks to a higher than average RTP and some potentially highly lucrative special features, huge wins are possible.

Triple Cash Wheel bet range

As mentioned, the number of active paylines is fixed at 60. That alone could make this game too expensive for some players. However, assuming that a minimum bet of at least $1 per spin works for you, then you can either lower or raise the cost of playing to suit your taste across the following bet range: $1, $2, $3, $5, $10, $20, $30, $50, or $100.

Keep in mind that in all instances, 60 percent of your total bet gets equally distributed over the 60 paylines, while the remaining 40 percent is used to activate the special features. Therefore, if you bet the minimum amount of $1 per spin, 60 cents of that money will go on the 60 paylines (for a line bet of only a penny), and the remaining 40 cents will go for the feature plays. If you bet the $100 maximum, you will have $60 going on the 60 paylines (for a line bet of $1), and the remaining $40 allocated for feature plays.

Obviously, as tempting as it may be to bet big in this game to avoid tiny payouts on your line bets, you should only do so if you can clearly afford it. If you’re not sure what would be a comfortable bet size, we recommend starting small with $1 bets or playing for free in demo mode to get the hang of the game before betting real money at all.

Triple Cash Wheel RTP and volatility

Two additional considerations to keep in mind before playing this game or any slot game are return to player (RTP) and volatility. One of the great features of the Golden Nugget website is that simply clicking on the “i” tab included with every game gives you these stats and other important information at a glance.

RTP

RTP is a theoretical estimate of the percentage of the total amount of money you spend betting on a game over an extended period of time that you can expect to have returned to you in winnings. It is not a reliable predictor of how well you will fare the first time you play or in any individual session. Those results can vary from the RTP considerably in either direction. But over many playing sessions, a pattern should start to emerge that is consistent with what the RTP suggests.

Even if your total play never approaches the amount needed for the RTP to become a reliable predictor, you should play games with an above-average RTP whenever possible. This won’t guarantee that you will win, but in case your early luck isn’t good, it will help you preserve more of your bankroll. Even when the payouts are small, they will probably occur frequently enough to keep you in the game for a reasonable length of time.

Triple Cash Wheel has an RTP of 95.21 percent. This falls short of the 96 percent I require for Barb’s Best Bet status, but it is still slightly above average for NJ online slots.

Volatility

Along with an okay though not fantastic RTP, Triple Cash Wheel also has medium volatility. This means that over the course of your play, you can expect some variance, as reflected in up and down swings in your bankroll. As long as you stick to a bet size you can afford and keep the length of your playing sessions reasonable,  this game’s medium volatility should not be a problem.

Triple Cash Wheel symbols

While the format of the game will probably seem strange to you initially and may take some time to get used to, that is not the case at all with the symbols. All of the game’s regular symbols–cherries, bells, bars, and flaming 7s–will be very familiar to anyone who has played online slots before.

The only other symbols you will encounter are a wild symbol and a scatter symbol.

Wild symbol

The wild symbol is instantly recognizable by the word WILD! It can substitute for any other symbol except the scatter symbol to help form winning combinations.

Scatter symbol

The scatter symbol displays the words “Quick Hit.” Unlike in many other slots, where three or more appearing anywhere on the reels during the base game don’t necessarily award any immediate prize but do trigger a bonus round, in this game, your entire prize is immediate.

Where on the grid the scatter symbols land doesn’t matter. As long as three or more land on the same grid simultaneously, you’re in the money. Depending on the total number that appear (3-9), the payout (apart from any other payouts you receive for other winning combinations) is as follows.

• 9 scatter symbols: 1,500x total bet
• 8 scatter symbols: 400x total bet
• 7 scatter symbols: 60x total bet
• 6 scatter symbols: 30x total bet
• 5 scatter symbols: 6x total bet
• 4 scatter symbols: 3x total bet
• 3 scatter symbols: 1x total bet

Triple Cash Wheel Paytable

Winning combinations that don’t include the scatter symbol are formed in the usual manner. Three or matching symbols need to line up on consecutive reels across a payline starting with the reel farthest to the left. The following paytable shows the payouts for 5, 4, and 3 of a kind for each possible winning combination in descending order of value.

Triple Cash Wheel Paytable

No. of Coins Paid Out for Different Winning Combinations

 

Symbol	5	4	3
Wild symbol	250	100	20
Triple 7s	100	50	10
Two 7s	50	20	5
One 7	20	10	2.50
Nonmatching 7s	10	5	1
Bar with No. 5	10	5	1
Bar	5	2.50	1
Nonmatching bars	2.50	.50	.20
3 Bells	2.50	1	.50
3 Cherries	2.50	1	.50

Only the highest win on a payline is paid, and only the highest scatter win per play is paid.

Never a dull moment

What this slot game lacks in the absence of a storyline or suspenseful adventure that keeps you constantly on your toes, it makes up for in fast-paced action and the novelty of playing three games at once. Big, bold, colorful symbols keep your eyes glued to every part of the screen.  However, the uninspired sound effects when you win (a bell chiming or a buzz that sounds like an alarm clock) could definitely use an upgrade, If you’re lucky enough to trigger the Free Spins Bonus feature, a more rousing jazz soundtrack is played.

During both the base game and free spins, all 15 reels and all 60 paylines are in play for every spin. However, the action takes place on three different grids, with only one-third of the total number of reels and paylines activated on each, as indicated below.

• Top grid: Lines 1-20 and reels 1-5
• Middle grid: Lines 21-40 and reels 6-10
• Bottom grid: Lines 41-60 and reels 11-15

Unfortunately, as you can see from the above paytable, most of the payouts on the regular symbols are small. Therefore, your best chances for a big win are for one or more of the following to happen: five wild symbols land across a payline, 6 or more scatter symbols show up, or you trigger the Cash Wheel Bonus feature.

This feature, which can only happen in the base game, is hard to trigger but worth the wait. Above the top set of five reels, there are three cash wheel signs. Upon completing any given spin of the reels, one or more of these signs might randomly light up. If all three cash wheel signs light up, you trigger the Cash Wheel Bonus feature.

But before you spin the wheel, you will be shown a grid of 21 tiles and asked to select one tile at a time until you get three matching ones. They will indicate how many times you get to spin the wheel and what your prize multiplier will be. These are the four possibilities:

• 1 spin of the wheel with a 1x prize multiplier
• 3 spins of the wheel with 1x prize multiplier
• 1 spin of the wheel with a 3x prize multiplier
• 3 spins of the wheel with a 3x prize multiplier

If the wheel stops with a prize value, you win that prize with either a 1x or 3x multiplier instantly. If the wheel stops on Free Games, you will be refunded the total amount of your triggering bet plus 10 Free Games with a 3x win multiplier.

Free Games Bonus Feature

This feature can only be awarded during the Cash Wheel Bonus feature described above. The free games take place on different reels from those used in the base game. All free games are played with the same line bet that was in effect when the feature was activated.

During the free games, all payouts are multiplied by 3.

The number of free games is fixed at 10, and the Free Games Bonus feature cannot be retriggered.

The bottom line

Triple Cash Wheel is a slot game that is probably better suited for mid-range players and high rollers than small stakes players. The latter are strongly advised to try playing in demo mode first before committing to wagering real money.

Also, despite the simple retro theme, the gameplay is rather complex. So it may take some time to get the hang of what is going on. But don’t worry. If keeping track of all of the payouts and special features is too tall an order, the machine will do it for you.

As long as you can handle the bet size, 60 paylines, less than stellar RTP, and medium volatility, there’s no better time to play this exciting new online slot game for real money than now. Because it’s the Golden Nugget Game of the Week, every spin you take is worth double points. But you will have to hurry because after 11:59 p.m. this Thursday, the offer will end.

Triple Cash Wheel offers triple the excitement of many other online slots. It’s like playing three games in one!

 

 

 

June is here, and Golden Nugget Online Casino has a great way to segue from spring into summer. Join the Golden Nugget June Race today if you haven’t already!

It’s Golden Nugget’s sixth monthly race of 2021 and the sixth leg of the yearly race. But what makes this not-to-be-missed event even more special is that you don’t have to be among the top finishers to be recognized for your performance and win a prize. Everyone who participates will celebrate in the winner’s circle with a guaranteed bonus!

A guaranteed bonus? In a fiercely competitive race to the finish line, how is that possible? Ordinarily, it wouldn’t be, but this is no ordinary race. It’s the Golden Nugget June Race with a guaranteed $600,000 up for grabs, and everyone’s a winner!

Can you still sign up for the Golden Nugget June Race?

If you’re a registered NJ Golden Nugget Online Casino player, of course, you can. Like all of the Golden Nugget monthly races, the June race started on the first day of the month and ends at 11:59 p.m. on the last day of the month. So, of course, the sooner you enter, the better. However, entering late won’t exclude you from participating.

Many of you reading this article already know that and wasted no time getting out of the starting gate on June 1. But for those of you who are new to these races or were too busy, no worries, at least not this month.

Even if you have little or no chance of winning one of the top prizes, Golden Nugget still has you covered. No one walks away from the June race empty-handed!

How to participate in the Golden Nugget June Race

The Golden Nugget June Race differs from most of the monthly races in an important respect. In the latter, even though the rules don’t require you to be active every day from the first of the month, for all intents and purposes, it is probably necessary. Otherwise, you would be wasting your time and money. It’s analogous to a very inexperienced and lightly raced horse being entered in a major race like the Kentucky Derby.

But this month, even the smallest players can join the competition and get rewarded.

By the way, the last time Golden Nugget Online Casino held a race where everyone’s a winner was in March. The prize pool for that race totaled $500,000. But this month, the prize pool is a bigger and better $600,000! And everyone who participates is guaranteed to get a share of it!

So, if you’re eligible and not already in the race, what are you waiting for? Here is what you need to do to participate.

• Log into your GoldenNuggetCasino.com account.
• Click on Available Bonuses and opt into the $600K June 2021 Everyone’s A Winner promotion.
• Make a single deposit of $20 or more.
• Start playing!

Three chances to win this month–How can you say no?

Every month, and June is no exception, if you have what it takes to be one of Golden Nugget’s top players, the casino will reward you handsomely.

But that’s not all. This year, all of the monthly races include another way to win, the Mid-Month Fuel Up. Players no longer have to wait until the end of the month to see if they have earned a reward. Halfway through the month, the 2,000 top players at the time will win free spins.

Lastly, at the end of the month, whether you qualify for one of the aforementioned mid-month and/or end of the month prizes or not, you will receive a secondary prize. All you have to do is deposit $20 or more when you opt-in to the race and earn at least 50 Golden Points over the course of the month, and this bonus is yours!

How to earn leaderboard points in the Golden Nugget June Race and guarantee yourself at least one prize and maybe all three

Where you finish in this race or any of the Golden Nugget races depends on how many leaderboard points you earn. All you have to do is keep making deposits and keep playing as often and for as much as you can, and your points will keep accumulating.

The following table shows you the number of points you will earn for different types of activity.

Player Activity	Leaderboard Points Awarded
Wager $100 on slots	5
Wager $100 on video poker or table games	1
Each day you deposit $50-$99	20
Each day you deposit $100 or more	40

As you can see, the fastest way to earn points is with deposits, but only deposits of $50 or more count. Otherwise, slot play earns points 5x as fast as table games play. Sports bets don’t count towards earning points.

It is also worth noting that the $600,000 guaranteed prize pool being offered in the June race makes it Golden Nugget’s biggest monthly giveaway ever!

The prize pool opened at $575,000, but by the end of the month, it is guaranteed to reach at least $600,000 and possibly as much as $605,000. Each day this month when at least one player wins $20,000 or more, Golden Nugget will increase the prize pool by $200. On any day when no player wins $20,000 or more, Golden Nugget will increase the prize pool by $1,000.

Furthermore, as mentioned above, there are three different types of prizes you can win. Let’s start with the biggest prizes–those that the casino will award at the end of the month to the top 25 players on the leaderboard.

Distribution of prizes for the top 25 players

Players who think they have a shot of finishing in the top 25 can check their daily progress on the leaderboard all month long. Also, keep in mind that all of the points you earn this month automatically count toward your grand total on the separate yearlong leaderboard, which will award the 50 top players of the year even bigger prizes.

The following table shows the minimum prizes that the top 25 players in June will win. These figures are based on a final total prize pool of $600,000. If the prize pool exceeds $600,000, the individual prizes will be bigger.

All prizes will be in the form of free guaranteed bonus play rather than immediately withdrawable cash. However, all of the prize amounts are huge. Even the player in 25^th place is guaranteed to receive at least a $4,000 bonus.

Moreover, the $100,000 in bonus money guaranteed to the player who finishes in first place is actually double the prize given out to the top player in March. The second and third place prizes have also increased. The remaining 22 prizes remain the same as in March.

The Top 25 Prizes

Leaderboard Rank	Minimum Prize
1	$100,000
2	$50,000
3	$35,000
4	$25000
5	$20,000
6	$17,500
7	$15,000
8	$12,500
9	$10,000
10	$9,000
11-15	$7,500
16-20	$6,000
21-25	$4,000

Guaranteed secondary prizes

Whatever bonus money still remains in the prize pool after the top 25 prizes have been distributed will be used to create a secondary prize pool. That money will then be equally divided among all eligible participants.

In other words, everyone who opts into the promotion with a deposit of $20 or more and proceeds to earn at least 50 leaderboard points during the month of June will definitely get the secondary prize.

Even the smallest players should qualify. Two separate deposits of $100 that you wager on slots will suffice.

Meanwhile, the 25 top players will receive two prizes—the secondary prize plus their main prize. Like the main prize, the secondary prize will be in the form of bonus play credited to players’ accounts.

Additional wagering requirements to clear the bonus money

Golden Nugget will complete the determination of this month’s winners of both the main prizes and secondary prizes and distribute the bonus money into players’ accounts by 5 p.m. on July 1, 2021.

However, before you will be permitted to withdraw the bonus or any additional winnings resulting from it, you will need to complete the casino’s small additional wagering requirement.

If you choose to clear the bonus with any slot game, the wagering requirement is 1x the bonus. If you clear the bonus with any other casino game, the wagering requirement is 5x the bonus.

Either way, you have up to seven days to complete the wagering from the day you receive it.

However, we recommend clearing the bonus with slots to avoid any further risk to your bankroll. Choose slots with the best rate of return (an RTP of 96 percent or better) to maximize your chances of winning.

Keep in mind, too, that while players once had the option to use the bonus money as either a casino bonus or a sports betting bonus, that is no longer the case. Sports wagers no longer count towards clearing any of the bonuses awarded in the Golden Nugget races.

Mid-Month Fuel Up: 50 Free Spins for the top 200 players

In the past, Golden Nugget found that some participants in the monthly races started slacking off long before the race was over. Presumably, the long wait until the end of the month to see whether they or not they would get a bonus made them lose interest.

The Mid-Month Fuel Up will give more players the incentive to put their pedal to the medal every day. At or around the halfway point of each month, the top 2,000 players will each win 50 free spins.

This month, the free spins will be awarded on Thurs., June 17.

Upon being awarded the free spins, you need to claim the offer from Available Bonuses. You then have up to seven days to use them on eligible games.

All winnings from the free spins will be in the form of bonus money. The same terms and conditions described above for the end-of-the-month bonuses also apply to clearing any bonus money won from the free spins.

Golden Nugget 2021 $5 Million Dollar Race

In short, every Golden Nugget Online Casino player from the smallest to the biggest has something to gain from participating in this month’s race. But for the heavy hitters among you, the Golden Nugget June race is just one of a dozen stepping stones towards the Grand Finale.

The overwhelming majority of you will have to settle for watching how the yearlong race plays out from the sidelines. But for 50 ultra-elite players, the ultimate reward at the finish line will be a prize that is so spectacular it will knock your socks off and possibly even be life-changing.

See the Golden Nugget website or my Jan. 12 article on NJ Gambling Websites “Kick Off 2021 With the Brand New Golden Nugget $5 Million Dollar Race” for the full details regarding this incredible event.

Summary

As I keep repeating in these columns every month, every player should know their limits and only opt-in to promotions they can comfortably afford. That will make participating in the Golden Nugget races every month for a shot at a mega-size prize out of reach for most of you. But that in no way precludes entering the June race where Everyone is a Winner.

The secondary prize will probably be meager. But if you want it, then it’s yours for the taking with very little effort and expense required. The beauty of this offer is that everyone, from the player who earns only 50 leaderboard points to the player whose points total hundreds of thousands, will get the same guaranteed bonus.

 

 

 

2020 was a year that seemed to drag on forever. But thankfully, it finally ended, and in case you don’t realize it, one-third of 2021 is now history. That means that the first third of the yearlong $5 Million Race at Golden Nugget is now history, too. In fact, the Golden Nugget May Race is already underway!

If you’re a registered player at Golden Nugget Online Casino, you’re spoiled for choice. Between 849 games and counting and more special offers than there would be room to tell you about, the action and excitement on this NJ gambling website are nonstop.

But the one giveaway that stands out above all of the rest is the yearly race and its 12 monthly segments, including the one you can join now, if you haven’t already–the $250K “Colossal Battle” Golden Nugget May Race.

How to participate in the Golden Nugget May Race

While performance in each of the monthly races contributes to one’s standing in the yearlong race, the monthly race is also a stand-alone event with its own prize pool and leaderboard. Therefore, regardless of whether or not you have entered this year’s previous races, each monthly race is still open to you.’

Here are the steps you need to follow if you wish to participate in the Golden Nugget May race:

• Log into your GoldenNuggetCasino.com account as soon as possible.
• Go to Available Bonuses and opt into the May Race.
• Make a single deposit of $20 or more.
• Start playing!

Do you have what it takes?

Golden Nugget is calling this race a “colossal battle” because in order to finish in the money, all month long you must compete fiercely and relentlessly against other players with the same goal. There’s some big money waiting to be won, but the bulk of it will go to the top 100 players on the leaderboard, including a top prize of $30,000 in bonus play for the player who finishes in first place.

Technically, the minimum number of leaderboard points required to be considered for a prize is only 50. But if you look at any of the actual leaderboards, you will see that the actual minimum number of points to have any realistic shot of winning a prize is many times 50.

If you participate in the Golden Nugget May race but don’t finish in the top 100, you can still win a prize, but it could be a lot smaller. In fact, the top 1,000 players on the leaderboard at the end of the month will all receive a prize. However, the players in 251^st-500^th place will each receive only a $15 bonus, and the players in 501^st-1,000^th place will each receive only a $10 bonus. That’s a small reward indeed for the thousands of dollars you will need to deposit and wager to rank on the leaderboard.

So, before you even opt into the Golden Nugget May race or a similar race, you should ask yourself whether you have the bankroll, guts, and staying power to be in contention. If not, you should save your money and watch the action from the sidelines. Golden Nugget offers many other promotions that do not require anywhere near as much play.

Keep depositing and keep playing as often as you can and for as much as you can

On the other hand, if you decide that yes, this race is for you, keep in mind that the more you deposit and the more you play, the better your chances.

Deposits and online casino games both count towards earning leaderboard points. However, as the following table shows, the fastest way to earn points is by making deposits of $50 or more, and the second fastest way is to play slots. Sports bets no longer contribute at all.

Player Activity	Leaderboard Points Awarded
Wager $100 on slot games	5
Wager $100 on table games, blackjack, roulette, or video poker	1
Each day you deposit $50-$99	20
Each day you deposit $100 or more	40

How much can you win in the Golden Nugget May Race?

Golden Nugget updates the leaderboard daily. So, while you might not know for sure if you will qualify for an end-of-the-month prize until the month is over, you can keep checking where you stand to get a good idea of your prospects. But prior to this year, even for the top contenders, no bonuses at all were forthcoming while the race was still in progress. This must have been very frustrating, to say the least.

However, this year, Golden Nugget started awarding mid-month prizes, too.

• On the designated day in the middle of each month, Golden Nugget will award 50 free spins on a choice of several designated games to each of the top 2,000 players on the leaderboard.
• At the end of the month, the top 1,000 players on the full month leaderboard will receive a second prize in the form of bonus money.

50 Free Spins

This month the 50 free spins will be awarded on May 12.

You can either take the free spins on the same day they are awarded or later that month. But first, you must claim the offer from Available Bonuses. Then you have up to seven days to take your free spins.

Any resulting winnings will be credited to your account as bonus funds. Then you have up to another seven days to clear the bonus in the following manner:

• Slots: 1 x bonus
• Video poker, blackjack, roulette, and other table games: 4x bonus

All slots now count 100 percent. All other casino games count just 25 percent.

End of month bonus money prizes

Keep in mind that winning a mid-month prize does not guarantee that you will also receive bonus money at the end of the month It is also possible that you don’t qualify for a mid-month prize, but you do qualify for an end of the month prize.

The following table shows how the $250,000 prize pool for May will be distributed to the 1,000 winners.

1st place	$30,000 free play bonus
2nd place	$25,000 free play bonus
3rd place	$20,000 free play bonus
4th place	$15,000 free play bonus
5th place	$10,000 free play bonus
6th place	$9,000 free play bonus
7th place	$8,000 free play bonus
8th place	$7,000 free play bonus
9th place	$6,000 free play bonus
10th place	$5,000 free play bonus
11th-15th place	$3,000 free play bonus
16th-20th place	$2,500 free play bonus
21st-25th place	$2,000 free play bonus
26th-50th place	$1,000 free play bonus
51st-75th place	$750 free play bonus
76th-100th place	$500 free play bonus
101st-125th place	$250 free play bonus
126th-150th place	$100 free play bonus
151st-200th place	$50 free play bonus
201st-250th place	$25 free play bonus
251st-500th place	$15 free play bonus
500th-1,000th place	$10 free play bonus

Wagering requirements for the bonus

On Wed., June 5, 2021, Golden Nugget Online Casino will determine which players will be entitled to which prizes and credit their accounts accordingly.

As you can see from the above table, all prizes are again in the form of bonus money. These bonuses are subject to the same small additional wagering requirements mentioned above for the mid-month Free Spins bonuses. Players have up to seven days from the time they receive their bonus funds to complete the wagering.

Your best bet

Because the wagering requirement for slots is only 1x the bonus and all slots now count 100 percent, your best bet is to clear all bonus money you receive from this promotion with slots. This will make both the mid-month and end-of-the-month bonuses a no-risk bonus. After all of the money you need to wager to qualify for these bonuses, why risk more if it isn’t necessary?

However, to maximize your chances of keeping as much of your winnings as possible, you should select only the best slots–those with a return to player (RTP) of 96 percent or higher.

Golden Nugget $5 Million Dollar Race

All of the points you earn in the Golden Nugget May race and each of the other monthly races get carried over to the yearlong $5 Million Dollar Race. That race has its own leaderboard, and its Golden Nugget’s way of rewarding its ultra-elite players with some fantastic prizes.

Only 200 players will win one of these greatly coveted prizes, but there’s not one skimpy prize in the lot. The prizes run the gamut all the way from $1,200 free bonus play for the player in 200^th place to a choice of either a brand new Bentley valued at $200,000 or $120,000 in free bonus play. All of the bonus play prizes are given out in 12 equal monthly installments.

For additional details about this year’s $5 Million Dollar Race, see the casino website.

The bottom line

By now it should be clear that the $250K Golden Nugget May Race and the $5 Million Race that continues all year long are not for everyone. Under no circumstances should you consider playing way beyond your means no matter how spectacular the prizes are. On the other hand, if you think you have what it takes to emerge victorious in this colossal battle, more power to you.

 

 

Mother’s Day Weekend is here. So, for all of you who are mothers, but also for all of you who are not, after the difficult year that this has been for everyone, you deserve a special treat. Caesars Online Casino and Golden Nugget Online Casino couldn’t agree more, and that is why both of these NJ gambling websites have gone all out to reward their players with a very special Mother’s Day bonus.

Most of my articles on NJ Gambling Websites feature only one casino’s promotions. But this time, the Caesars and Golden Nugget Mother’s Day offers are both so good, I have to tell you about both of them. If you’re a registered player at either or both of these casinos, today is your lucky day.

Special Mother’s Day Weekend offer at Caesars Casino & Sportsbook: Deposit $30, Get $30

When was the last time you got a 100 percent bonus on your deposit? If you’re a player at Caesars Casino & Sportsbook, it might have been the first weekend of April. That’s when the casino offered any existing player who deposited up to $30 a full 100 percent deposit match.

Well, guess what—Caesars is repeating this fantastic offer this weekend!

How to participate in this weekend’s Caesars Deposit $30, Get $30 promotion

This special Mother’s Day weekend offer runs from Fri., May 7 through Mon., May 10, so you have plenty of time. Here are the easy steps you need to follow to claim your bonus:

• Log into your Caesars Casino & Sportsbook account anytime between May 7 and May 10, 2021.
• Click on “My Account” and then on “My Bonuses & Offers.”
• Enter the code GET30 and click on “Get Details.
• Locate the Deposit $30, Get $30 offer under “Available Bonuses.”
• Click on “Deposit” next to the bonus. Then make your deposit and claim your bonus.

You can only claim this offer once and with a single deposit, so do it on whichever of the four days you find most convenient.  Furthermore, this bonus is fixed at $30, so that is the amount you must deposit to qualify. While you can, of course, deposit more than $30, there is no point in doing so unless you absolutely need the extra money for your customary level of play because your bonus won’t be any bigger.

As always, deposits made at the Caesars casino cage in Atlantic City or via PayNearMe don’t count.

Wagering requirements to clear the bonus

Before you will be permitted to withdraw your $30 bonus or any additional associated winnings, you have up to seven days to meet the specified wagering requirements.

You can clear the bonus with any online casino game of your choosing but not with sports bets. However, the amount you need to wager varies as follows depending on your game choice:

• Slots: 5x bonus + deposit
• Video Poker: 10x bonus + deposit
• All other games: 25x bonus + deposit

Until you complete the wagering requirements in full, your deposit, bonus, and any winnings therefrom all remain temporarily locked into your account. However, as soon as you finish clearing the bonus, all of this money, or whatever is left of it, will become available to you. Canceling the bonus, attempting to withdraw unavailable funds prematurely, or failure to complete the required wagering on time will result in forfeiture of both the bonus itself and any resulting winnings.

The bottom line

I was less than pleased to see that Caesars is once again including the deposit as part of the wagering requirements after dropping that provision from other recent promotions. This in effect doubles the wagering requirements to clear the bonus over what you would have to wager otherwise.

For this bonus, since both the deposit and bonus are fixed at $30, your wagering requirements are as follows:

• Slots: $300
• Video Poker: $600
• All other games: $1,500

The good news is that you have up to a whole week to complete the wagering, so it should be quite manageable for most players, especially if you clear the bonus with slots.

Most importantly, even though $30 is not a big bonus, getting good bang for your buck is more important, and no bonus offers better bang for your buck than a 100 percent bonus.

Many NJ online casinos offer 100 percent deposit bonuses to first-time depositors as a special thank you for joining the site, but similar offers tend to be few and far between for existing customers. It is encouraging to see that Caesars is now offering dollar-for-dollar deposit match bonuses periodically for existing players, too.

Special Mother’s Day Weekend offer at Golden Nugget Online Casino: Get an instant 50% bonus up to $100 on your next deposit

This special offer also starts on Fri., May 7, but it concludes at 11:59 p.m. on Sun., May 9.

How to participate in the Golden Nugget Online Casino Mother’s Day promotion

A 50 percent bonus isn’t as great as a 100 percent bonus, but this is still a great offer that some players might actually prefer because instead of the bonus being capped at $30, you can get up to $100.

Here’s what you need to do to participate:

• Log into your Golden Nugget Online Casino account.
• Claim the offer from My Bonuses.
• Deposit $20 or more.

You can only claim this offer once, and it must be with a single deposit. Keep in mind that this is a 50 percent bonus. Therefore, if you deposit the minimum of $20, you will only receive a $10 bonus. In order to get the maximum bonus of $100, you will need to deposit $200.

Wagering requirements to clear the bonus

You have up to seven days to clear the bonus. The amount you need to wager will vary as shown below depending on your game choice.

• Slots: 10x bonus
• All other games: 50x bonus

As soon as you complete the required wagering, provided you do so within the allotted time frame, whatever you have left your deposit, bonus, and any winnings therefrom will become available to you for withdrawal. As with all bonuses, canceling the bonus, attempting to withdraw unavailable money early, or failure to complete the necessary wagering on time will cause you to forfeit both the bonus and any resulting winnings.

The bottom line

This is another promotion with excellent value considering that your bonus can be up to $100. We strongly recommend you clear the bonus with slots to minimize the wagering requirements. Choose one of the many slots with a return to player (RTP) of 96 percent or better to maximize your chances of winning.

 

 

 

Are you scratching your head wondering what you can do to celebrate Cinco de Mayo this week?

For the second year in a row, most Cinco de Mayo celebrations across the country should be relatively low-key. The combination of the holiday falling midweek and the mandates for social distancing still in place is not conducive to large crowds and boisterous partying like the pandemic never existed. But that doesn’t mean you have to settle for just another dull day at the office.

Leave it to Hard Rock Online Casino to host a party that embodies both the “pack your worries at the door” spirit of the holiday and its own “safe and sound” and “good clean fun” motto perfectly.

Welcome to the Hard Rock Online Casino Cinco De Mayo Free Spins Festival!

When is the Hard Rock Online Casino Cinco de Mayo Free Spins Festival and who’s invited?

The fun and games started just in time for Cinco de Mayo, but this is no one-day party. You can keep coming back every Tues.-Thurs. all month long!

Everyone who is a registered player at Hard Rock Online Casino is invited.

How to participate in the Hard Rock Online Casino Cinco de Mayo Free Spins Festival

BYOB, if you wish, and we suggest having some chips & dip or other snacks handy, too, in case you get hungry or thirsty. You might as well do everything you can to enhance the party vibe. You will probably be hanging around for a while.

But this is a casino party. So, instead of spinning pinatas, you will be treated to free spins galore on some of the top slots on NJ gambling websites. Each week in May that you choose to attend, to ensure that you never get bored, you will get 50 Free Spins on a different designated slot!

But first things first. Here’s what you need to do to get your 50 Free Spins every week in May:

• Log into your HardRockCasino.com account on Wed., or Thurs. each week in May. Check the casino website for the specified times.
• Make a single deposit of $30 or more.
• Go to the Game of the Day and claim your offer.

Then take your 50 free spins.

Note that any winnings from the free spins will be in the form of bonus funds with additional wagering requirements rather than immediately withdrawable cash. Furthermore, you only have 48 hours from the time you receive your free spins to use them in their entirety and clear the bonus. Therefore, we suggest that you take your free spins immediately or as soon as possible.

During week 1, in honor of Cinco de Mayo, take 50 Free Spins on Spinata Grande!

As mentioned, each week you take advantage of this fantastic offer, Hard Rock Online Casino will award you with 50 spins on a different designated slot. From May 4 through May 6, it’s Spinata Grande.

If this online slot by NetEnt with 5 reels, 4 rows, and 40 fixed paylines sounds familiar to you, it could be because, three years ago, on May 4, 2018, I featured it here on NJ Gambling Websites as Barb’s Best Bet. Then in another article on March 12, 2021 on NJ Online Casino, I included Spinata Grande again as one of the top 10 online slots of all time!

Spinata Grande is worthy of those accolades for multiple reasons, but mostly because its RTP of 96.80 percent is one of the highest of any NJ online slots.

There’s even a mariachi band to entertain you so there’s never a dull moment. Meanwhile, two wild symbols, a colossal key symbol, and a special bonus round with extra Free Spins (on top of the 50 Free Spins you’re already getting) keep the wins coming.

Then spin to win more in weeks 2, 3, and 4 with three other great slots

Hard Rock could not have picked a more perfect slot for your Cinco de Mayo Free Spins. But if you think that after this week this incredible promotion is over, think again because the party is just getting started.

The other three slots on which Hard Rock will offer 50 Free Spins won’t disappoint either because besides being a ton of fun to play, they, too, have an RTP of 96 percent or better.

Play Willy’s Hot Chillies May 11 – May 13

Keep the caliente South of the Border party vibe alive with this NetEnt slot during the second week of May. This time you don’t have to don your own sombrero or bring any pinatas, peppers, and hot sauce to the party. All that and more is being served up to you on the screen!

More importantly, look out for stacked wilds and the potentially highly lucrative and super-exciting Hot Wheel Bonus Round as you spin to win. You could win up to 2,000x your stake.

Willy’s Hot Chillies has 5 reels, 3 rows, 20 fixed paylines, and an RTP of 96.00 percent.

Play Butterfly Staxx 2 May 18 – May 20

NetEnt is one of the leading and most prolific manufacturers of online slots, and Butterfly Staxx 2, the 2019 sequel to the original Butterfly Staxx released in 2018, is a good example of this company’s versatility. Rather than entice you with nonstop action and excitement, Butterfly Staxx 2 keeps you fixated on the screen with its exquisite symbols and symphony of colors. It may be too laid back for some players’ tastes. But if you’re simply looking for a pleasant and relaxing way to lift your spirits, you can’t go wrong. Low-medium volatility but the chance to win big anyway is the cherry on the sundae.

Butterfly Staxx 2 has 5 reels, 4 rows, 40 fixed paylines, and an RTP of 96.35 percent.

Play Asgardian Stones May 25 – May 27

Last but certainly not least, you can take a trip all the back to ancient times playing the mythological-themed slot Asgardian Stones, also by NetEnt.

Fantastic visual and sound effects and special features galore should make this online slot one you will want to play often. For starters, every win starts an avalanche that could lead to another win! Other special features include colossal symbols, a Colossal Crush feature, a Bonus Wheel, and Free Spins.

Low-medium volatility combined with a very high RTP and wide bet range add to the appeal to small bettors and high rollers alike.

Asgardian Stones has 5 reels, 3 rows, 20 fixed paylines, and an RTP of 96.31 percent.

Wagering requirements for the bonus money

In order to access the free spins on all four of these slot games, you will need to deposit a total of $120–$30 each week.

But before you will be permitted to withdraw any winnings from the free spins, you will need to meet the casino’s additional specified wagering requirements. You can choose any online casino game you wish, but the amount you need to wager will vary as follows, depending on the type of game:

• Slots: 5x bonus
• Video Poker or table games: 25x bonus

Because the wagering requirements for non-slot play are so much higher, your best bet is to clear your bonus entirely with slots. However, to maximize your chances of keeping your winnings, either clear the bonus with the same game you just won on or another slot with a return to player (RTP) of 96 percent or better.

Additional terms and conditions

You can only claim your offer for the 50 Free Spins once each week and only during the specified times each Tues. – Thurs.

Any free spins not taken during the 48 hours allotted to you will be forfeited. Likewise, any attempt to withdraw the bonus money prematurely or failure to complete the associated wagering requirements during the same 48-hour period will cause you to forfeit both the bonus and any additional winnings therefrom.

Summary and conclusion

The deposit and play requirements are very reasonable. And because your activity is spaced out over a four-week period, this is a promotion that virtually any player can afford.  Moreover, you will be taking your free spins on four of the casino’s top slots, so your chances of winning are excellent.

So, if Hard Rock Online Casino is one of your favorite places to play, by all means, take the casino up on this offer. “Party like a Hard Rock star legend” safely and inexpensively not only during Cinco de Mayo week but every week of May.

 

 

Caesars Casino & Sportsbook has come up with an offer you can’t refuse. But which online casino bonus will you choose?

Every time you play online, you have difficult decisions to make, like how much money you are willing to risk. Or, if you are winning, at what point you will decide to lock up your winnings rather than keep playing and try to win more?

If you’re a slot player, do you prefer a low variance game that makes small payouts frequently? Or do you prefer the thrill and excitement of progressive jackpot slots or other high variance games in the hope of a huge payday?

The bonus that Caesars is currently offering takes these differences among players into account in the best way possible. You get to choose which of two possible bonuses you prefer. Either way, you will receive a bonus in return for your deposit.

That much is guaranteed. But are you willing to gamble on a mystery bonus in the hope it will be big although it could be very small? Or would you rather simply take the 100 percent bonus up to $25. It’s your choice. Risk or Reward?

How the Caesars RISK or Reward offer works?

This promotion is open to all Caesars Casino & Sports registered players. It started on Fri., April 23 and continues until 11:59 p.m. today, Mon., April 26. So, you will have to hurry because today is the last day.

As long as you make a deposit of $10 or more during the promotion period, you’re good to go, and Caesars has a bonus waiting with your name on it. But first, you need to pick which of the two bonuses you want.

• Choose RISK to receive a mystery bonus between $10 and $1000 in bonus play.
• Choose REWARD to receive a guaranteed 100% bonus match on deposits up to $25.

You can only claim this offer once, and you cannot claim both bonuses. You must pick one or the other, and once you do, your choice is final. Caesars won’t let you change your mind and switch to the other bonus later.

How to get started

If you wish to participate, here are the easy steps to you need to follow:

• Log into your Caesars Casino & Sportsbook account before 11:59 p.m. on Mon, 4/4/21.
• Click on “My Account” and then on “My Bonuses & Offers.”
• Enter the code RISK or REWARD based on which bonus you prefer. Then click on “Get Details.”
• Locate your Risk or Reward Bonus Match offer under “Available Bonuses.”
• Click on “Deposit.” Then make your deposit* and claim your bonus.

*Caesars lets you choose from a wide variety of safe and secure deposit methods. However, in this instance, as in all other deposit match bonus offers at this casino, avoid making deposits at the Caesars casino cashier’s cage in Atlantic City or via PayNearMe because then you won’t get a bonus.

If you choose REWARD, you will receive your guaranteed 100 percent match bonus immediately. If you choose RISK, you will have to wait for the results of the random drawing to see what your bonus is.

Of course, you can make an additional deposit and/or play in the meantime while you’re waiting, but neither will have any effect on the size of your bonus. And until you actually receive the bonus, your play won’t count towards clearing it. Therefore, your best bet is to wait until you get the bonus and know what your play requirements are.

How much should you deposit?

That depends on which bonus you choose. If you select the REWARD bonus, you should deposit exactly $25–no more and no less. It’s a 100% deposit match bonus capped at $25, so be sure to grab every penny of it. On the other hand, if you deposit more than $25, it ceases to be a 100% bonus.

If you select the RISK bonus, however, you should deposit only the minimum of $10. That way, even if you only receive a $10 bonus, it is still a 100% bonus. On the other hand, your bonus could be as much as $1,000!

Since your odds of getting a big bonus depend entirely on a random drawing and have nothing to do with the size of your deposit, unless you need extra money in your account to make your usual size bets, limit your deposit to the absolute minimum.

Bonus money prizes up for grabs in the drawing

The following table shows the various amounts of bonus money you can win in the drawing. The Caesars website doesn’t specify exactly when the drawing will take place and how soon thereafter the prizes will be distributed. But you can assume you won’t be kept waiting in suspense long.

As you can see, the prizes range from $10 all the way to $1,000. All of the prizes are in the form of bonus money credited to the player’s account. No player can win more than one prize. The exact odds of winning a particular prize cannot yet be determined since they will depend on the total number of players.

However, this much should be clear. The overwhelming majority of the participants will only get a small bonus, but for a lucky few, the drawing will pay off big time.

Mystery Bonus Prize Matrix:

Drawings	Prize
1 winner	$1,000 online casino bonus
5 winners	$500 online casino bonus per player
25 winners	$250 online casino bonus per player
50 winners	$100 online casino bonus per player
100 winners	$50 online casino bonus per player
500 winners	$20 online casino bonus per player

All remaining players who have made a qualifying deposit and have selected the RISK bonus will receive a bonus of only $10.

Bonus money wagering requirements

Regardless of which of the two bonus offers you accept, the wagering requirements to clear the bonus are the same.

You have up to seven days from the time you receive the bonus to clear it. The amount you need to wager will depend on entirely on the type of game you choose, as indicated below.

• Slots: 5x bonus
• Video Poker: 10x bonus
• All other online casino games: 25x bonus

Sports bets don’t count.

Prior to clearing the bonus in full, the bonus, your deposit tied to the bonus, and any additional bonus-related winnings will remain locked into your account. However, as soon as you complete the required wagering, as long as it is within the allotted time frame, all of this money, or whatever is left of it, will become available to you for withdrawal.

Canceling the bonus, or any attempt to withdraw unavailable funds prematurely or failure to complete the required wagering on time will result in forfeiting both the entire bonus and any additional winnings resulting from it.

The bottom line: Why the Caesars Online Casino RISK or REWARD bonus is a great offer

This offer is similar in concept to the Naughty or Nice bonus offer that Caesars has been posting around Christmastime.

Actually, regardless of which of the two bonuses you take, Caesars is being very nice in giving you a bonus, even if it’s only a small one, in return for the very small deposit it is asking from you.

On the other hand, if you follow my advice to deposit the maximum for the guaranteed 100% bonus and the minimum for the mystery bonus, it’s you who is being naughty, or at least sneaky. But trying to get as much bang for your buck is what smart online casino gambling is all about!

This is a fun promotion that every player can afford, so if Caesars Online Casino is one of the NJ gambling websites where you like to play, don’t let this excellent opportunity to get a guaranteed bonus get away from you.

Furthermore, Caesars has dropped its old method of making the wagering requirements for clearing bonuses based on the bonus and deposit combined. Your deposit is no longer factored into the wagering requirements at all. And if you clear the bonus with slots, you only have to wager the bonus 5x, after which you get to keep both the bonus and your winnings.

If you end up with a small bonus of $10 to $25, you’re still getting great value based on the small size of your deposit. Also, most players should find clearing this size bonus in just a day or two a piece of cake. Of course, if you win as huge bonus like $500 or $1,000, the wagering requirements to clear it go up considerably. But you have a whole week to get it done.

 

Golden Nugget Online Casino, the NJ gambling website that’s home to more games than any other (827 and counting) and the $5 Million Golden Race, is about to perform a big switcheroo this weekend. It’s an offer that will excite even the smallest players: Deposit $25 and get 25!

Golden Nugget is calling this promotion March of the Penguins. Don’t ask me why because I have no idea.  But it doesn’t matter. This is a fantastic offer whatever it’s called and one that no Golden Nugget Online Casino player should let get away.

The promotion runs from Fri., March 19 until 11:59 p.m. on Sun., March 21.  That should give you plenty of time to make your deposit and claim your bonus.

How to participate in the Golden Nugget March of the Penguins 100% Bonus Promotion

Are you a registered player at Golden Nugget Online Casino?

If so, all systems are a go for you to earn a full 100 percent bonus up to $25 on your next deposit!

Here are the simple steps you need to follow to receive your bonus instantly:

• Log into your Golden Nugget Online Casino account anytime during the 3/19-3/21 promotion period and claim the March of the Penguins 100% bonus offer from Available Bonuses.
• Make a single deposit of $20 or more.

Note that the minimum bonus you can receive is $20, and the maximum bonus is $25. Therefore, even though the minimum deposit is $20, surely you will want to spring for an extra $5 to get the full value of this outstanding offer.

Of course, you can deposit more than $25, but your bonus won’t increase. Therefore, your best bet is to hold off on additional deposits until your next offer comes along. It might not be for another 100 percent bonus like this one, but any extra bonus is better than no extra bonus.

When during the weekend you make your deposit and claim your bonus is entirely up to you. Just make sure it is sometime this weekend before the offer expires.

Also, you can only claim this bonus once. If you could do it more than once, the offer really would be too good to be true!

Wagering requirements for the Deposit $25, Get $25 bonus

As with all other bonuses at this casino, before you will be permitted to withdraw either the bonus itself, or the deposit tied to the bonus, or any bonus-associated winnings, you will need to meet the casino’s wagering requirements.

You have up to seven days to clear the bonus. The amount you need to wager depends on the type of game you select, as indicated below;

• Slots: 10x bonus
• Video Poker, roulette, blackjack, or other table games: 40x bonus

Your best bet: Clear the bonus with any high-returning (96% RTP or higher) slot of your choosing

Unlike with previous bonuses at Golden Nugget Online Casino, there does not appear to be any increase in wagering requirements if you choose to clear the bonus with certain designated “excluded” slots. Previously, if you picked one of the 21 so-called “excluded” slots, your play only counted 20% instead of the usual 100%. That meant that the wagering requirement jumped all the way to 50x the bonus!

Even with the superior return to player (RTP) that these games offered, the difference from other slots did not warrant the extra risk your bankroll by having to play 5x as much.

But now you don’t have to worry about that. So, go ahead and clear the bonus with any slot game you wish. With nearly 800 slots to choose from, finding one you like with a high rate of return should be no problem at all.

Other terms and conditions

Golden Nugget allows you to clear some bonuses with sports bets, but this isn’t one of them. So, stick to slots with a 96 percent RTP or higher. You only have to wager $250 to clear the $25 bonus, and you have a full week to do so.

Also, while you cannot withdraw the deposit, bonus, or any additional winnings therefrom until the bonus is fully cleared, you can still withdraw any other funds in your cashable wallet unrelated to the bonus whenever you want.

Canceling the bonus, attempting to withdraw unavailable funds prematurely, or failure to complete the required wagering in time will cause you to forfeit both the entire bonus and any winnings therefrom.

The bottom line: Don’t pass up this rare opportunity to get a dollar-for-dollar deposit match from Golden Nugget

This offer is identical to one that Golden Nugget Online Casino had during the weekend of Feb. 26-28 to coincide with the full moon. Now the casino wants you to consider it as an “icebreaker” to usher in spring. Or maybe it’s their way of telling you that March Madness doesn’t apply just to sports but to casino play, too.

As far as I’m concerned, what the casino chooses to call the offer and why doesn’t matter in the least as long as it keeps on coming. I have spoken before about the need for NJ online casinos to issue accessible, high-quality bonus offers to their existing customers on a more consistent basis. Giving loyal existing players more opportunities to access affordable 100 percent deposit match bonuses like this one at Golden Nugget is a positive change I could not agree with more.

The best way to show the casino that you recognize and appreciate a great offer when you see one is to take advantage of it. This is one that should be accessible to any player, and hopefully, Golden Nugget and other NJ online casinos will take the hint and continue to make offers like this available much more often.
