Golden Nugget’s online casino maintains one of the richest collections of promotions among online casinos. Among the best are the site’s monthly and annual sweepstakes “races.”
All players need to do is opt in to the monthly race through the “My Bonuses” spot on the website, with a deposit of $20 or more. Then, play. Playing any slot or table game earns Leaderboard Points that count toward a multitude of cash prizes. If you earn at least 50 Leaderboard Points in the monthly contests, you qualify for a monthly prize and you automatically qualify for the annual $10 Million Golden Race, which tallies up all the year’s Leaderboard Points and awards 250 prizes at the end of the year.
As we noted in our May 12 edition, for the annual race, the top three prizes are a new Rolls Royce Cullinan, a Luxury Jewelry Package and a Wild Watercraft Adventure, and the top 10 are all very imaginative, from shopping sprees to vacations to golf getaways.
Go Big and Double Your First Deposit up to $1,000! Golden Nugget will match your first deposit instantly dollar-for-dollar up to $1,000! For a limited time, we’re topping our Welcome Offer with 200 Free Spins on the brand-new slot, 88 Fortunes Megaways!
Cash in on Monthly Contests
But the monthly contests are all about cash prizes, in the form of free play.
This month it’s the $777,000 September “Everyone’s a Winner” race. You can earn Leaderboard Points for this one through September 30. As the name suggests, the total prize pool is at least $777,000. One cool thing about this promotion is that the Leaderboard is tabulated daily. For every day that no one qualifies for at least a $25,000 free-play award, $5,000 is added to the prize pool. For each day there is a winner of $25,000 or more, the prize pool is boosted by $1,000. This month’s prize pool could max out at $980,000.
The prize pool is boosted by combined play at Golden Nugget online casinos in New Jersey and Michigan. (affiliate links to NJ & MI)
Once a player has opted in, cash wagers earn Leaderboard Points. Every $100 wagered on slot games earns five Leaderboard Points. Every $100 wagered on blackjack, roulette or video poker earns one Leaderboard Point. (Sports Wagering does not count toward earning the points.)
The exact amount of individual prizes will vary based on amount of Leaderboard Points earned per unique Player Account ID throughout the duration of the promotional period. Player rankings will be displayed on a leaderboard, updated daily with player totals. Players are required to accumulate a minimum of 50 points to be eligible to receive a prize.
Stake your claim at an extraordinary opportunity to boost your chances to win at Golden Nugget. Opt in daily and dig deep as you build points towards entries into a weekly giveaway of up to 25,000 Free Spins, up to $25,000 in Deposit Match Bonuses, or up to $25,000 in Free Play Bonuses.
