Golden Nugget July Race Ups This Month’s Prize Pool To A Cool $1 Million!

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.

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. 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.
