Borgata Announces $1 Million Summer Showdown Casino Promotion

Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa has posted a new Atlantic City casino promotion with a $1 million prize pool, weekly Saturday drawings, and two Mercedes-Benz grand prize events.

The $1,000,000 Summer Showdown runs from Sunday, June 28, through Saturday, August 29, according to Borgata’s casino promotions page. Drawings are scheduled from 7 PM to 11 PM on Saturdays in July and August.

Borgata says more than 1,100 winners will be selected during the promotion. Prizes include FREEPLAY® and two Mercedes-Benz grand prize awards, with each vehicle winner receiving either a Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 or S 500.

The promotion gives Borgata another summer casino-floor event during one of Atlantic City’s busiest travel periods. Borgata’s casino floor includes hundreds of slot themes and a large table games lineup on one level, which gives both slot players and table game players a path into the drawing structure.

How Players Can Enter the $1M Summer Showdown

MGM Rewards members can earn drawing entries through rated casino play at Borgata. The rules list one drawing entry for every $2 SLOT DOLLARS® earned or for every 200 Table Games Tier Credits.

Entry earning begins at 6 AM on Sunday, June 28, and continues through 10:30 PM on Saturday, August 29. Players must use an MGM Rewards card so eligible slot, video poker, or table game activity is rated correctly.

Contestants may win up to twice per drawing day, according to Borgata. The 11 PM drawing each week is treated separately, with all contestants eligible to win.

Mercedes-Benz Grand Prize Drawings

The two Grand Prize drawings are scheduled for Saturday, July 25, and Saturday, August 29, at 11 PM. Borgata lists this part of the promotion as “Two Icons, One Vote,” with the vote tied to the luxury vehicle prize.

The listed vehicle options are the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 and Mercedes-Benz S 500. Borgata also states that $150,000 FREEPLAY® will be awarded as part of the Grand Prize drawing portion of the Summer Showdown.

Players should confirm full rules, drawing procedures, eligibility requirements, and prize-claiming steps directly with Borgata before entering or relying on any promotion detail.

How SLOT DOLLARS® Are Earned & Used

SLOT DOLLARS® matter in this promotion because they are one of the listed ways to earn Summer Showdown drawing entries. Borgata lists one entry for every $2 SLOT DOLLARS® earned during the qualifying period.

At Borgata, SLOT DOLLARS® are MGM Rewards credits earned from eligible rated machine play, including slot and video poker play. They can be converted into FREEPLAY® on eligible machines using an MGM Rewards card and PIN.

SLOT DOLLARS® are not cash, and they are separate from MGM Rewards Points and Tier Credits. For this promotion, slot and video poker players qualify through SLOT DOLLARS®, while table game players qualify through Table Games Tier Credits.
