The rise of Resorts Casino and sister site Mohegan Sun Casino in New Jersey will undoubtedly go down as one of the best feel good stories of 2015.

When the duo launched operations earlier this year, the state’s online casino market was already saturated by trusted and recognizable brands. Yet, iGaming’s equivalent of the “little engine that could” came out firing, showing little hesitance in offering some of the best promotions and welcome bonuses in New Jersey.

That trend has continued into the holiday season, as on Friday, the duo unveiled a mammoth 10 day promotion that’s serves as a sort of year-end “Thank You” card to anyone who’s created an account.

Resorts Online Casino Season’s Winnings

Season’s Winnings is a ten day event that runs from December 18 – 27.

Qualifying is as easy as signing into your Resorts online casino account and making a deposit using the coupon code GETAWAY.

From that point forward, you will receive one entry into the Season’s Winnings Getaway for each 50 Rewards Points (RPs) you accumulate.

Generating loyalty points is as easy as playing your favorite casino games. You’ll earn points as follows:

• 1 RP for every $2 wagered on all slots

• 1 RP for every $4 wagered on Roulette

• 1 RP for every $8 wagered on Video Poker and table games

As for the sweepstakes prizes, they are both plentiful and lucrative.

The Grand Prize winner will receive a $5,000 trip for two, to either Colorado or the Caribbean. The package includes round trip airfare, hotel accommodations and transportation. Forty-nine runner-ups will win consolation prizes in the form of cold hard cash, ranging from $25 to $1,250. The value of this promotion comes in at a staggering $20,000.

Throughout the promotional period, Resorts will incentivize gamblers to earn more tickets by way of exclusive daily promos. Each day, the operator will send an email to registered players with a new offer, so be sure to check your inbox or sign into your account daily.

Mohegan Sun’s Tidings of Joy

Mohegan Sun’s Tidings of Joy Giveaway is almost identical to Season’s Winnings, in that both adhere to the same sweepstakes prize table, and offer a new daily promotion throughout the promotional period. In addition, Mohegan Sun also requires that you earn 50 loyalty points (Gems) per sweepstakes ticket.

However, earning Gems on Mohegan Sun does require significantly more play:

• 1 Gem for every $10 wagered on slots

• 1 Gem for every $20 wagered on Roulette

• 1 Gem for every $40 wagered on Video Poker and table games

Casual and low-budget gamblers may preference Resorts’ offer, as earning a ticket at Mohegan Sun is a much taller order. That being said, there’ll be fewer overall tickets, so frequent gamblers will have just as good a chance to win, regardless of site.

They may even want to strengthen their odds by playing on both.

The promotional code for Tidings of Joy is GIVEAWAY.

Be on the lookout for Reload Bonuses

From now until the December 27, players should be on the lookout for Reload Bonuses. Already, Resorts has sent out emails offering depositing players a boost to their bankrolls.

We encourage players to take full advantage of any Reload Bonus offered by either casino, as the duo share the fastest bonus clearing rates, not only in New Jersey, but perhaps anywhere.

Slot players only need to play through their bonus 5x to unlock the bonus amount, while all other players need to run through their bonus 25x. That good deal is made even better by the fact that bonus funds are available to wager immediately upon depositing.
