Super Bowl Sunday is just around the corner, so today is not a day too soon to start making plans for the big day if you haven’t already.

Regardless of whether you will be throwing your own party or rooting for your team somewhere else, count on spending plenty of money. But, forget about tearing yourself away from the big game to play your favorite online slots to try to recoup your expenses (except if you are hoping to be one of 50 winners of $50 on BorgataCasino.com—more about that later).

Besides, it wouldn’t be very sociable to excuse yourself from your friends for some alone time on your computer or smartphone while everyone else is partying. But that is all the more reason to try to win some extra bucks before the big event.

Surprisingly, most of the NJ online casinos don’t seem to be on the ball in coming up with extra incentives to play this week. But at least two NJ online gambling sites, PalaCasino.com and BorgataCasino.com, are sweetening the pot with some special Super Bowl themed offers this week that are too good to pass up.

While the Borgata is making you wait until Sunday to try to profit from its promotion, the Pala promotion starts NOW and continues straight through Sunday. This is not your everyday kind of promotion. So don’t wait until the weekend to take advantage of what could be your golden opportunity to score your own touchdown long before the Broncos and Panthers on Sunday.

The sooner you get started, the more you can win!

Super Bowl week is the perfect time to tell you about a casino that we have not given much attention in our columns lately and suspect you haven’t either, www.PalaCasino.com. Also be sure to read our long overdue feature article on this casino, which will be posted on this website later this week.

Since PalaCasino.com is under the same ownership as the number one NJ online casino, BorgataCasino.com, we expected nothing less than another first rate site, and that it is. We think you will be very pleasantly surprised to see what PalaCasino.com has to offer. In fact, over 50 new slot games have been added since the casino first opened, bringing the total number of games to over 140.

Big Game Challenge at PalaCasino.com

The Big Game Challenge is already on now and will continue all week long through February 7.

Every day during this time period that you deposit $25 or more using the Deposit Code BIGGAME and wager at least $100, you earn a FIRST DOWN and one entry into the Grand Prize Drawing. The maximum number of entries you can earn is one per day.

However, there is no limit to the number of first downs you can earn. The more first downs you earn, besides improving your chances of winning the Grand Prize, the more you can win in other prizes.

20 Yard Line prize

Earn two first downs to win 20 Free Bonus spins on the PalaCasino.com Million Dollar Slot Machine.

50 Yard Line prize

Earn five first downs to win another 30 Free Bonus Spins (a total of 50) on the PalaCasino.com Million Dollar Slot Machine.

Red Zone prize

Earn eight first downs to win another 30 Free Bonus Spins (a total of 80) on the PalaCasino.com Million Dollar Slot Machine plus a $20 Casino Bonus.

Touchdown prize

Earn ten first downs to win another 20 Free Bonus spins (at total of 100) on the PalaCasino.com Million Dollar Slot Machine plus a $50 Casino Bonus.

As you can see, none of these prizes are small potatoes. And with all those free spins on the Million Dollar Slot Machine, the sky is the limit on what you could potentially win. Note that any bonus money included in the prizes carries a playthrough requirement for withdrawal of 20x the bonus, which must be met within 30 days.

Finally, there is the Grand Prize valued at $950 going to one super lucky player.

Grand Prize

Home Entertainment Package including a 50 inch HDTV and surrounding sound system.

The drawing for the Grand Prize will take place on Monday, February 8, and the name of the lucky player will be posted on the website within 72 hours. The winner has the option to accept $950 in bonus dollars in lieu of the home entertainment package, in which case a playthrough requirement of 20x the bonus will be imposed.

$50 for 50 at Borgata NJ online casino

While a $50 bonus may pale compared to the huge winnings that could be yours in the PalaCasino.com promotion, it is certainly worth taking a shot at. After all, there is nothing more you have to do than log on and play just like you would ordinarily. No, take that statement back. You have to be able to multitask because this promotion is in effect one day only, Super Bowl Sunday!

On Sunday, February 7, at random times throughout the day between 12 p.m. and 11:59 p.m., 50 players will be randomly selected to each win a $50 bonus. Winners will then have 24 hours to wager the bonus 1x on any slot game of their choosing.

Players also earn regular loyalty points on these wagers. Once the wagering requirements have been met, both the bonus itself and any associated winnings are available for withdrawal.

Great promotions like these should keep many New Jersey gamblers as riveted to the screens on their computer or iPad this week as to their TV screen on Sunday.
