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.

Bird Watching at Borgata Atlantic City

Bird Watching at Borgata

Bird Watching at Borgata Atlantic City | Eagles were my gateway bird. Seeing them soaring free in Alaska started me appreciating all birds, even a turkey size seagull roosting a few feet from me on the beach in Wildwood, NJ last summer. Now, I’m always looking for activity in the sky.

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.

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?

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.

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.
