Atlantic City | Video Poker at Borgata B Bar

Video Poker Borgata Atlantic City B Bar

The B Bar at the Borgata is the only bar in Atlantic City that still comps top shelf drinks (or any drinks for that matter) for playing video poker or slots on the bar top machines. The beauty of this is that while you are being comped for your drinks, you are also earning comps that can be used for something else, like the $10 entry fee for the Amphora Lounge (if you’ve got a Black Label Card.) The machines also include full pay Jacks or Better!

[The Basic Formula] Atlantic City | MGM Borgata Mlife – April 2018 Update

Atlantic City MGM Borgata Mlife

I played at the Borgata Atlantic City last week for the first time since my Mlife at Borgata post in February. In that update, I told you that the representative at the Borgata, that I was contacting after every single time I played, to have my numbers adjusted in line with the Mlife Earn Rates…

[WATCH YOUR POINTS!] Atlantic City | MGM Borgata Mlife – February 2018 Update

Atlantic City MGM Borgata Mlife

I have been writing about the Mlife program at the Borgata, since the transition from My Borgata Rewards in June. It was difficult to figure out the Mlife Earn Rates because the computer system is not tallying all the numbers correctly in everyone’s account and I could not confirm the earn rates that they gave me verbally, even though they were updating my account to these values.

Atlantic City | Why NO Tier Credit for Spend at Borgata?

Atlantic City MGM Borgata Mlife

Why NO Tier Credit for Spend at Borgata ? | Could it be that there’s a purposeful reason that there’s no Spend Credit at Borgata? Is the result of the transition from My Borgata Rewards to Mlife being a muddy mess a coincidence?

Atlantic City | MGM Borgata Mlife Comp Earn Rates

Atlantic City MGM Borgata Mlife

Atlantic City | Borgata Comps – With trial and error and many emails, phone calls and visits to the Mlife desk, I believe I have figured out the Earn Rates of the new Players Club Program (Mlife) at the Borgata, which was instituted on June 7, 2017.

A few times a year the Borgata offers special hotel packages at reduced rates. The current deal is the Suite Escape Hotel Package, which includes an overnight stay in a Fiore Suite, $100 in Dining Credit, 2 Comedy Club Tickets (Sunday through Thursday) and $50 Bonus Slot Dollars.

MGM Borgata Mlife Data Points – June 27 Update

No Elite Lines Borgata Mlife Desk

The transition from My Borgata Rewards to Mlife isn’t going as well as I thought it was. Last week, there were no elite lines at the Mlife desk and no signs to indicate why this was so. When I got to the front of the line, I had so many questions to ask (with a long line behind me) that I didn’t add this to the list.

MGM Borgata Mlife Data Points After Transition – June 17 Update

Mlife M life Rewards at Borgata Atlantic City

The lines at the Mlife desk at the Borgata are back to normal and the courteous and professional staff is forthright with answers to general questions about Mlife at Borgata. Mlife account information may not be current online; especially Points, Tier Credits and Tier Status but they are working on correcting that. It seems to me that the program is unnecessarily complicated but it’s almost identical to My Borgata Rewards except for some extra benefits for higher daily play.

My Borgata Rewards to MGM Mlife – It Begins!

My Borgata Rewards to MGM Mlife - It Begins!

The Borgata just announced that the full transition from My Borgata Rewards to MGM Mlife casino loyalty program will take place on June 7. What I want to know is this: If players are going to enjoy the same level of recognition and benefits that they enjoyed with My Borgata Rewards, why are the details so vague?

Being an Informed Gambler

Video Poker Dreamcard Royal Flush

When I ‘m playing video poker, conversations often start with other players and I’m still surprised that there are so many players who are adamant in their belief in verifiable falsehoods. I gently try to steer them towards the correct strategy or odds, but I usually get overruled.

Winding Down Atlantic City Casino Offers

Atlantic City Casino Offers

There has been a steady and overall decline in gaming odds, comps and casino offers over the years but with fewer rooms available to comp and most of the remaining 7 casinos struggling financially, Atlantic City is rapidly diminishing as a good play for the low roller.

Atlantic City | Borgata Black Label Changes

Borgata Black Label Changes

Effective March 1, the Borgata is raising the entry price for Black Label card holders to both the Amphora Lounge and the buffet from $10 comp dollars to $12.50 comp dollars per person. The Amphora Lounge is very nice and the buffet is decent, but this is another downgrade instituted by Mlife and there’s certainly more to come.

Atlantic City | Borgata Slot Dollars Multiplier Days

Atlantic City | Borgata Slot Dollars Multiplier Days

The Borgata is offering two Slot Dollar Multiplier Days in February: 5X Slot Dollars on Sunday, February 5 and 10X Slot Dollars on Tuesday, February 21. On both days the promotion runs from noon to 7pm. I’ve written about these types of promotions before but there are a lot of changes going on at the Borgata, so I will re-evaluate the situation.

Recap | Gambling Downgrades and “Upgrades” at Borgata Atlantic City by MGM

Borgata Atlantic City B-Bar Video Poker

I meant to publish this re-cap last week about the Gambling Downgrades and Upgrades at Borgata Atlantic City, but things got a bit busy. Figured I better get this posted before there are more changes. To be fair, there have been a few “enhancements,” for those who like to wager high amounts. I am referring to my notes, which were only semi-organized so please feel free to point out any discrepancies.

First Glance | Borgata Atlantic City in 8 Pictures

This week we begin our look at one of the best and most exciting casino gaming resorts in the United States, Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa. The hotel is composed of two properties The Borgata and The Water Club Hotel at Borgata. While the marketing and promotional materials might tell a different story, there is still a very intense focus on casino gaming at Borgata.

How To Evaluate Slot Promotions The Right Way

Slot Promotions

  Should You Do A 10X Slot Dollar Day? I opened my email newsletter from the Borgata and read that I could earn 10X Slot Dollars on Sunday, March 20th from noon to 7pm. 10X SLOT DOLLARS! Not five, TEN! Yippee! My knee jerk reaction when I see 10X is that of course I’ve got […]

In Memoriam | The Revel Atlantic City Ocean Suite

No more proof of this is needed then my stay in an Ocean Suite at Revel Atlantic City which deserves a revisit both in remembrance of the what was and in hope for the future of a hotel that deserves to be open and operating once again.

Hotel Review | The Water Club at Borgata

It was no surprise then, that with demand at a high and occupancy kept near full, that Borgata would choose to expand its operations 2008 to accommodate more guests. The result of this choice was The Water Club at Borgata, a standalone boutique hotel attached via walkway to the already bustling Borgata. With 800 rooms and an impressive collection of pools and spa facilities, the Water Club has given a new level to what was already considered the best hotel in AC. It was a no brainer given the circumstances then that on my first visit to Atlantic City I had to try out the Water Club and see if it stood up to my already high Las Vegas standards.
