The online casino gambling options for New Jersey players recently got bigger and better with the addition of another great site, www.mohegansuncasino.com.

Mohegan Sun chose Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City to be its Atlantic City partner, which means you can now choose between two Resorts-affiliated online casinos, either this one or www.resortscasino.com.

By the way, on Resorts online casino, our recently reviewed slot game, Wolf Run, is now the featured Game of the Week, offering double reward points every time you play! But you will have to hurry because the 2x rewards offer is only good through Sunday, November 8th.

Even if you miss this offer, don’t howl about it because Wolf Run is a great game to sink your teeth into anytime. It is available online at both ResortsCasino.com and MoheganSunCasino.com along with most other New Jersey online casinos.

The online games offered by Mohegan Sun and Resorts are nearly identical, so if you already have a couple of favorites at one these casinos, you will most likely find the same game at the other casino, too. Because each site is a separate entity, though, you will need separate accounts to play at each one, and the loyalty rewards programs and other promotions for each casino are different as well.

But here is some good news that you might not have realized. When you play on MoheganSun.com, you don’t have to travel all the way to Connecticut or Pennsylvania (where the land-based Mohegan Sun casinos are) to redeem your rewards for cash or casino comps. You can redeem them at Resorts Casino!

Not only do you save the time and expense of traveling a long distance, your Mohegan Sun comps could prove especially handy if you have more comps coming to you from Resorts (either online or offline). Even if your comps from either casino individually are insufficient for your desired purchase (dinner, for example), together they might total enough. Also, if you decide to play in Resorts and win, don’t forget that you can reload your MoheganSun.com account at the Resorts Casino cashier’s cage.

Every time you play online for real money at Mohegan Sun, you earn both “gems” and “momentum dollars.” Play on every game counts, but the fastest way to earn these rewards is with slots. “Gems” can be exchanged for cash, while momentum dollars are comps which are credited to your account the first of every month based on the previous month’s play and usable just like cash at Resorts Casino Hotel.

While any time is therefore a good time to be playing online at MoheganSun Casino, the month of November is an especially good time. That’s because in addition to all of the special promotions you will read about here, another fabulous promotion is taking place at Resorts Casino Hotel: a $1 million slot tournament!

The tournament is ongoing daily through November 20th between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m. in the tournament area. While you are there, check out the regular slots, too. Six hundred new slot machines have recently been added.

Current promotions at Mohegan Sun NJ online casino

As the holiday season draws closer and closer, everyone is looking for easy ways to put extra cash in their pocket. Furthermore, playing online is a great way to relieve stress at this hectic time of year and take a needed break from your busy schedule.

The special offers described below do require that you have a verified MoheganSun.com account. Other terms and conditions apply as well, including a small wagering requirement for some offers. When additional wagers are required, they must be placed from the player’s cash account, not the bonus account. See the website for full details.

The following promotions offer excellent value and, if luck is on your side, with little or no expenditure on your part, you could walk away a big winner. At the very least you are sure to have lots of fun playing your favorite slots and table games.

$3,000,000 Daily Spin Wheel

MoheganSunCasino.com is giving away so much money it will have your head spinning!  Imagine what you could do with $3 million in cash. That is the top prize in the casino’s daily Spin the Wheel giveaway.

You might be thinking that winning $3 million is such a huge longshot, why bother? However, it costs nothing to enter and every day you can spin the wheel for another chance, so there is no reason not to try. Besides, in this promotion everyone is a winner.

Granted, there is a much greater chance of winning a small prize than a big prize, but even a token prize of a dollar or two or five or ten gems starts to add up if you keep winning it day after day.

This offer is open to all MoheganSunCasino.com account holders. Every day, from now through July 20, 2016, all you have to do is log on for another free spin of the wheel. No deposit or play is required beforehand.

These are the possible prizes, one of which you are guaranteed to win every time you spin the wheel:

• $3 million cash
• $25,000 cash
• $5,000 cash
• 20 bonus dollars
• 5 bonus dollars
• 2 bonus dollars
• 1 bonus dollar
• 10 gems
• 5 gems

All prizes must be claimed the same day they are issued. The gems and bonus dollar prizes have wagering requirements for withdrawal. See the website for terms and conditions.

Mohegan Sun daily promotions

The free spin of the wheel is far from the only promotion ongoing at Mohegan Sun Online Casino. Every weekday (week after week until further notice) you can also take advantage of a special daily promotion described below.

Also, as if that isn’t enough, every month several slot games are designated as Games of the Month. All month long, any time you play one of those games, you will receive 1½ times the usual number of gem points!

Happy Hours

Every Monday between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. is Happy Hour at MoheganSun.com.

The drinks and snacks are on you, but the casino is serving up something even better: 3x loyalty points on a designated slot game! The qualifying game changes every Monday, so to see what it is, simply click the Happy Hours image in the Promotions tab.

Two-Two Tuesday

The promotion is called Two-Two Tuesday because every Tuesday you have a choice of two slot games which reward double gem points all day long. The double point games change each Tuesday so after you sign into your MoheganSun.com account, simply go the Promotions tab to see the applicable games for the current week.

Midweek Reload

If your account balance could use a little boost by midweek, be sure not to bypass this offer. Make a deposit up to $100 on Wednesday or Thursday and receive a 25% bonus!

To accept the bonus, sign into your MoheganSun.com account. Then click on Coupons on the left menu bar and enter the coupon code MIDWEEK25. Then click Get Deals and follow the instructions.

The offer applies only to your first deposit on Wednesday or Thursday. It also comes with a small wagering requirement of 5x the bonus for slot games or 25x the bonus for video poker and table games. In other words, if you deposit $100, before your $25 bonus and associated winnings become available for withdrawal, you will have to wager either $125 on slots or $625 if you choose to play any other games.

Fresh Friday

If you need more money in your account for the weekend, simply make a deposit of $50 or more on Friday and the casino will add $10.

To accept the offer, sign into your MoheganSun.com account. Then click on Coupons on the left menu bar and enter the coupon code FRESHFRIDAY. Then click Get Details and follow the instructions.

The offer is valid for your first deposit on Friday. You then have until midnight Sunday to earn 100 gems (playing any game you wish) in order to release the bonus and have the bonus and any associated winnings available for withdrawal.

Games of the Month

As if all of the above offers aren’t enough, every month several slot games are designated Games of the Month. All month long, any time you play one of those games, you will receive 1½ times the usual number of gem points!

The three Games of the Month for November, 2015 are:

• Irish Eyes 2
• 1 Can 2 Can
• Cats

We especially recommend 1 Can 2 Can. This innovative game by NextGen Gaming features a pair of hungry toucans is unlike any slot game you have ever played.
