When Caesars Interactive Entertainment New Jersey, LLC. was looking for an online casino software company partner, it turned to the internationally known brand 888.

All of the Caesars-operated New Jersey gambling sites (both casino games and poker) use 888 software, but the welcome bonus you receive on joining, specific games offered, loyalty rewards program, and promotions are different. Unlike the two other Caesars-owned casino gambling websites for New Jersey players, Harrahs Casino and Caesars Casino, us.888casino.com does not participate in the Total Rewards Program.

However, the New Jersey-based 888Casino offers very generous rewards and promotions of its own, which clearly make playing there worthwhile. While some of these promotions are ongoing, others are short-term only, so you should always make it a practice to keep checking the website at least weekly to avoid missing out on some great offers.

In this article, we will tell you all about two exciting promotions that should be available at least through most or all of December, 2015: Special Blackjack and Deal of the Day.

888 Casino Special Blackjack

If you’re a blackjack player, you probably know that “21” is another name for the same game. The reason, of course, is that, other than blackjack, 21 is the best possible hand you can have. Also, if you go over 21, your hand is an automatic bust no matter what hand the dealer is holding.

So it shouldn’t be hard to remember that out of all the days in the month, the one day when you should be definitely playing online blackjack at 888Casino is the 21st.

Make a deposit of $20 or more using the promo code BLACKJACK21 and wager it 5x the same day. You will then receive 20% of your deposit up to $200 in free play on American Blackjack! Additional terms and conditions apply – see below.*

Deal of the Day

Some online casino offers are for one-time use only, and then they are over and done with, but Deal of the Day at 888Casino is an offer that keeps on giving week after week! 888Casino gives you six great ways to boost your bankroll all week long.

Every day brings new surprises and new chances to win. Get the party started with Table Tuesday, then keep it going with Winning Wednesday, Thursday Traveler, and Double Friday, all leading up to a whirlwind weekend with Space Saturday and Sunday FUNDAY!

But wait, for 888 casino players, the end of the week is actually a good thing because it means you can come back and enjoy more Deals of the Day next week!

Table Tuesday

Make a deposit of $20 or more any Tuesday using the promo code TABLETUES and wager it 5x the same day to receive 30% of your deposit up to $100 in free play!

You can use your free play on any or all of these three games:

• American Blackjack
• Roulette Casino Reels
• Video Slots

Additional terms and conditions apply. See below.*

Winning Wednesday

On Winning Wednesday, no one walks away empty-handed.

Make a deposit of $20 or more using the promo code WINWED and wager it 3x on any game you wish. If you don’t win, the casino will give you 20% cash back up to $30 on your losses!

Thursday Traveler

Even if a vacation in Paris or Italy is not on the horizon anytime soon, us.888casino.com gives you the opportunity to take a virtual trip to one of those destinations for free.

Make a deposit of $20 or more any Thursday using the promo code TRAVEL and wager it 3x the same day to receive 20% of your deposit up to $100 in free play on either Café de Paris or Bella Italia. Additional terms and conditions apply. See below.*

Double Friday

The status points you earn and accumulate every time you play at 888Casino are as good as cash because that is exactly what they are exchangeable for as soon as you have enough of them.

Double Friday can help you get your point total up a lot faster because you get double status points on every game! All you have to do is deposit $20 or more any Friday using the promo code DOUBLEFRIDAY and then wager your deposit at least 3x the same day, and you will be thinking TGIF all day long!

Space Saturday

Staying in town on Saturday may be a bummer for some people, but not for the lucky 888Casino players who get to take a virtual trip “way outta town” to the Ultimate Universe!

Make a deposit of $20 or more any Saturday using the promo code SPACE and wager it 3x the same day to receive 30% of your deposit up to $100 in free play on the Ultimate Universe slot machine. Additional terms and conditions apply. See below.*

Sunday FUNDAY

Last, but certainly not least, let 888Casino make Sunday a fun day for you with up to $100 in free play on any of four jackpot slots!

Make a deposit of $20 or more any Sunday using the promo code SUNFUN and wager it 3x the same day. You will then receive 30% of your deposit up to $100 in free play, which you can use on one or more of these four progressive jackpot slots:

• Ultimate Genie
• Casino Reels
• The Royals Go Camping
• Ultimate Universe

It is entirely up to you if you want to use all your free play on one machine or spread it around. And you never know, Sunday FUNDAY could be your day to hit the jackpot. All it takes is one lucky spin (even better if it is a free spin), and the next progressive jackpot winner could be!

Additional terms and conditions apply. See below.*

*Free Play Terms and Conditions: You have 14 days to use your free play, which must be on a PC. In addition, there is a playthrough requirement for withdrawal of 30x the free play and any winnings (except jackpot winnings), which must be completed within 90 days. Only slots and arcade games count 100% towards meeting these wagering requirements. Roulette, Triple Card Poker, and casino table poker count 20%, and blackjack and video poker only count 10%.

None of the above-mentioned promotions is scheduled to expire anytime soon. The Blackjack Special is ongoing until at least 12/21/15.

The Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday Deals of the Day will remain in effect at least through 12/28, and the Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday Deals of the Day will remain in effect at least through 12/31.

When my next column appears, summer will be over, the kids will be back in school, and probably your own daily routine will be busier than ever. But none of those realities should slow done the special promotions at the New Jersey online casinos one bit.

I will continue to sort through them so I can tell you about the very best. That way, whether you have time to visit and play at your favorite Atlantic City casino or not, you can still continue to fully enjoy the unparalleled convenience of online casino play wherever and whenever YOU want.
