Don’t even lie. You totally remember this.

 

1994 at your door, right there. A lot has changed since the ’90s though. Bassist Bobby Sheehan died of an accidental drug overdose in 1999 and was replaced with guitarist Chan Kinchla’s  brother, Tad. Keyboardist Ben Wilson also signed on with the band soonafter as Sheehan had often multitasked. The new formation started out small with an EP, Decisions Of The Sky: A Traveler’s Tale Of Sun And Storm, and then really went to work. They’ve released six major albums since, their newest being Suzie Cracks The Whip, last summer. These Jersey boys are starting THIS summer off at The Concert Venue at Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City. Check out the awesome collection of old hits and new tunes and get your last minute tickets here!

How to Play Spanish 21 at Caesars, Harrah’s Resort, Showboat and Bally’s Atlantic City

So we’ve pretty much given you plenty of time to master the games of Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City blackjack and Single Deck Blackjack. Now it’s time for a new blackjack game, friends. This one is called Spanish 21. Spanish 21 is similar to regular blackjack, but this game has more options and therefore, more ways to win! Yay!

Spanish 21

Here is how Spanish 21 differs:

  • Spanish 21 uses a deck of 52 cards BUT the 4 10′s in each deck are taken out
  • Players are allowed to double down one time only
  • If a player is dissatisfied with the outcome of his or her double down, the player is able to take back (rescue) the doubled portion of the bet and forfeit the original wager. This only applies to a non-busted hand.
  • Player can only surrender on the first two cards only
  • Drawing on split Aces is allowed
  • Dealer must hit to a soft 17
  • A player’s blackjack always beats a dealer’s blackjack
  • A player’s 21 always beats a dealer’s 21
  • Special payouts:  5-Card 21 pays 3 to 2; 6-Card 21 pays 2 to 1; 7+ Card 21 pays 3 to 1; 6-7-8 Mixed pays 3 to 2; 6-7-8 Suited pays 2-1; 6-7-8 Spaded pays 3 to 1; 7-7-7- Mixed pays 3-2; 7-7-7 Suited pays 2-1; 7-7-7 Spaded pays 3 to 1.

All these payouts make you want to try it, right? Go ahead at Caesars Atlantic City, Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City, Showboat Atlantic City and Bally’s Atlantic City casinos! Tell us what you think!

Wizard Of Oz Gamefield XD Video Slots Can Make You A Millionaire!

Ya’ll. The number of peeps in the millionaire club at Caesars Entertainment has increased to 411! That’s a lot of millionaires and more are being made every week it seems. We’re not even going to ask the question if you want to be one, cause we already know the answer, so we’re going to give you an option of how you can become one at Caesars Atlantic City, Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City, Showboat Atlantic City or Bally’s Atlantic City. Meet The Wizard Of Oz Gamefield XD by WMS Gaming.

Wizard Of Oz Gamefield XD

Dual screens! 32 inches each! Just like the iconic movie, this video slot encompasses both good and evil. On one side you have Emerald City full of Glenda The Good Witch Bonuses! These bonuses can pop up on any base game spin and can change symbols to WILD and/or can increase the number of symbols per reel (which could increase the number of WILDs per reel!). ANDDDD regardless, the number of symbols added per reel is a good thing because each one increases the number of Any Way paylines. Which is always a good thing. This whole shebang also occurs every time on the Free Spin Bonus. Not bad, huh? That’s a whole lot of bonuses at once.

Then you have the Emerald City Bonus.

Wizard Of Oz 1

The object here is to get these symbols as high as you can. You must pick an OZ symbol to advance up the screen or give you more credits. The higher up you go though, the better the award credits!

Then over on the evil side of things, The Haunted Forest, (but not really cause you still get bonuses), The Winged Monkey Bonus can too, be triggered on any base game spin. The Winged Monkeys takeover the screen and add WILD symbols to certain reel sets. This bonus can also be triggered on each Free Spin bonus with more WILDs added after each spin!

Wizard Of Oz 2

And the Hunted Forest Bonus round mimics the Emerald City bonus on the darker screen.

 

Fun, right?! And perhaps even more fun, you can become a millionaire on this game! Entertainment and the potential to become a millionaire, what’s not to like?! Tryout the Wizard Of Oz Gamefield XD at Harrah’s Resort, Caesars, Showboat and Bally’s if you haven’t already. You could be next! Check out our Millionaire Maker by Total Rewards page to find out how else you can be part of the club!

Kevin Rudolf will be taking over the hosting reins this Friday at The Pool After Dark at Harrah’s Resort. You know him.

 

Sound familiar?

 

Totally appropriate.

Paris Hilton

Pricing starts at $20.

The next weekend is a biggie too and it starts off with National Shrimp Day on May 10th.

National Shrimp Day

We filled you in on that one last week too, here. But ya’ll LOVE your shrimp. Get it!

Then of course Sunday is Mother’s Day. Did you get your mama anything yet? Don’t forget! Let us shower you with a couple suggestions. Is your Mom a tad more old school or does she swing a little more new school?

Jazz up the old school’s kitchen a bit with some cute “Eat At Mom’s” giftware

Eat At Mom's giftware

Or some beautiful nature-themed pieces of The Botanical Collection. Get these at Caesars Exclusively at Caesars, The Viking Cooking School at Harrah’s Resort, and The Gift Shop at Bally’s.

The Botanical Collection

Eat At Mom’s is available at The Viking Cooking School, and the gift shops at Bally’s and Showboat.

What about some Yoga Jeans for those trendsetter moms?

Second Denim Yoga Jeans

No pair is the same as each is individually hand rubbed and nicked. And they are comfortable enough to do anything in. Even yoga. Hence the name. Get them at Caesars Exclusively and Studio at The Waterfront Shops at Harrah’s.

Then there are bags; bags for days!

Big Buddha purses

The Big Buddha Spring 2013 collection has a style to match every personality. Patterned or solid, bright or dark, grab whatever fits your Mom best at Studio at Harrah’s Resort and Bally’s, Caesars Exclusively at Caesars and The Gift Shop at Showboat!

And no Mother’s Day can be complete without a little Pandora!

Pandora

The limited edition Bear Your Heart charm is currently for sale while supplies last as well as the $200 Mother’s Day bracelet set with free jewelry box! Get one or both or anything else Mama may like at Pandora at Harrah’s Resort and Caesars Exclusively!

Not so fast…don’t forget the Tiffany & Co.!

The Victoria pendant and earrings are a fabulous, classic look to surprise any mother.

Tiffany & Co. 1

You never k now when life may call for some diamonds and platinum.

Or perhaps more often, pearls!

Tiffany & Co. 2

Tiffany & Co. at The Pier Shops at Caesars has these amaze pearl bracelets with sterling silver in any size you fancy – 4-5 mm, 9-10 mm, 4.5-5 mm, and 7-8 mm.

Can never go wrong with Tiffany & Co., kids and hubs.

Another thing you can never go wrong with is some kind of pampering.

Qua Baths & Spa

For example, Qua Baths & Spa at Caesars will be offering the #1 Mother on the special day for your special ladies. This includes a full body scrub, 50 minute classic massage, organic facial and spa lunch.

And if your favorite mom wants to bring a favorite mom of hers along, the One + One would be perfect! Mamas will get to choose between a massage or facial and get to enjoy a lunch for two.

Qua is so cool, they even have the Mom-to-be covered with the One On The Way package! Treat her to a 50 minute prenatal massage, Fijian scalp massage and lunch! She is probably having your child after all.

And if your spa knowledge is lacking and you just don’t understand anything we just said, why not pick up a gift certificate at Red Door Spa at Harrah’s Resort?

Red Door Spa

Every $200 spent here gets you a $30 spa card that can be used on any spa special or retail item until July 31st. Nice!

For all you children of the ‘80s and ‘90s turned Mamas, leave the kids at home this Mother’s Day weekend ‘cause it’s time to party!

The Pool After Dark will have Mr. Belding hosting Aqua Fridays on May 10th and Ben Savage…aka Cory Matthews taking over the mic on May 11th!

Mr Belding Dennis Haskins 1
Hey, hey, hey, what is going on here?!
Ben Savage
I, Cory Matthews, am a PO-TAY-TO.

Take it back to those carefree days for two nights only! It’s gonna be hot!

And don’t forget the food! At the very least, a nice meal will suffice. Nero’s Tuscan Steakhouse at Caesars will be hosting a nice Mother’s Day Brunch from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. while Café Roma will be offering a 3 course menu for $24.95.

Sammy D’s at Harrah’s Resort will also have a 3 course menu handy that day for $24 and Dos Caminos will be whipping up some Mama’s Margaritas and some special Lobster Guacamole and  Pescado en Cazuela Veracruzano.

French Quarter Buffet will be open for brunch with champagne for Mother’s at Showboat from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Scarduzio’s Steak & Sushi will feature their Chicken Parmesan over spaghetti later on.

And finally, 6ix: A Bistro at Bally’s will offer a 3 course menu for $28.99 and Arturo’s will have a special 4 course menu for $34.99.

All properties will also be serving up Breakfast in Bed until 2 p.m. from May 10th to May 12th.

Woo!

And the last weekend BEFORE the unofficial start of summer might as well be the official start of summer because ya’ll are in for a fun ride yet AGAIN.

Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City will have something for everyone on Friday, May 17th starting with a Cupcakes & Cocktails event hosted by Vive Salon & Day Spa at the Foundation Room at Showboat.

Hope Cuts

We don’t know many people cupcakes and/or cocktails won’t work for. We know they would work for us. And even more special is that proceeds from this event will go to Hope Cuts to support breast cancer research. $20 gets you cupcakes, a $40 goodie bag, live music and the feeling that you did something good. Be there from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

From there, you rockers should head over to the Chevelle show at House Of Blues at 9 p.m., and you country folk should hit up the Trace Adkins show at Caesars.

Trace Adkins

It’s been some time since Caesars has seen such a big country act, not to mention one of the sexiest voices in the game!

And you past/present teeny boppers will love hanging out with Mya later on at The Pool After Dark! Catch the Grammy award winner perform live! Pricing starts at $10.

Starting back at 9 on Saturday the 18th, Brian McKnight will take over the Concert Venue at Harrah’s Resort!

 

Who wouldn’t want to listen to these smooth sounds? Candy to our ears.

And what better way to end this weekend then at The Pool After Dark with the newly inducted Chippendale, former 90210 and Dancing With The Stars alum, Ian Ziering.

Ian Ziering

Yes, please. Maybe he can preview some moves for us before he starts his run at The Rio in Vegas on June 6th.

We don’t know about you, but all that was a huge mouthful for us leading you up until Memorial Day weekend. That weekend of course deserves its own blog full of even more sarcasm, wit and ridiculousness, but let us just tempt you with the following words: Bikini Beach Bar OPEN, Sean Lowe THE BACHELOR, Blues Traveler, Mary J. Blige, Robin Leach and SOMEONE WILL BECOME A MILLIONAIRE.

Until then….get to Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City in May. Didn’t we give you enough reasons? Take advantage of the Spring Room Packages on the Special Offers page and get to it! May’s a tickin!

 

What Would You Buy With Your Millions From Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City?

So three more millionaires have been made since the beginning of the month when we filled you in on the fact that Caesars Entertainment casinos make the most millionaires. Not too shabby, right? Check out our Millionaire Maker page for all the ways you could be the next one.

All this begs for an answer to one simple question, though. What would you do with your millions? A shopping spree would no doubt be on most lists, so we wanted to give you a little preview of some nice, high-end swag fit for a millionaire at the retail outlets at Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City, Caesars Atlantic City and Bally’s Atlantic City.

 

1. Clothing 

What distinguishes a lady millionaire from the average Jane? Furs, of course. Studio at The Waterfront Shops at Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City has some fabulous Kelli Kouri Furs, like the ones below, for $495 a piece.

An Inside Look At The New SPIDER-MAN Video Slot Coming Soon To Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City Properties

This doesn’t happen often, but we have no words. Take a look at the new dual-array Spider-Man video slot game coming soon to Caesars Atlantic City, Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City, Showboat Atlantic City and Bally’s Atlantic City.

 

Is this not amazing looking? The game is complete with six “Spider Sense Features”: Pumpkin Bomb (all pumpkin symbols are turned into WILD symbols), Peter Parker WILD (all Peter Parker symbols are turned into WILD symbols), Super Multiplier (The choice is yours here: Spin the wheel to receive multipliers up to 30x or try your luck at the Goblin Battle Bonus that we will discuss in a bit), Super Scatter (Peter Parker, Mary Jane OR Green Goblin symbols will pay scatter) or WILD Transfer (WILD symbols on the first array will go to the second and vice versa).

And of course the bonus battle = The Goblin Battle. If the Green Goblin flies onto the screen and throws a pumpkin bomb, it’s on! If a bomb strikes the Green Goblin, Spider-Man gets a point and the same goes for the opposite scenario. If Spider-Man racks up the most points, you get two times your bonus win!

And all of this comes to life so much more as you soar along the journey in the Sensory Immersion 2.0 chair!

The game is slated to hit Harrah’s Resort next week and Caesars, Showboat and Bally’s the following week.  We caught up with game producer Steve Slotwinski (we know, the last name couldn’t be any more perfect) from WMS Gaming to get some “behind the scenes” info. It’s safe to say that Steve pretty much knows all three Spider-Man movies by heart. He admitted to us that he is now able to watch the trilogy in a 40 minute span. That takes skill, people! Check out the rest, below.

 

Spider-Man video slot

 

TAC: What was your favorite part of the process while creating this game?

Steve Slotwinski: For this one, we have a new product. We have a sensory immersion 2.0 chair that we used for the Spider-Man game. It’s a motion chair. Probably the best time making this game was finding clips that used the most motion and working to make that chair move the way that we wanted it to for those clips. A lot of our time was reviewing the movies; trying to find as many clips of Spider-Man doing some type of action: fighting or swinging or jumping from building to building and trying to incorporate that into a movement into a chair to literally make this game as action packed as possible. So we went through this entire process and found the clips that we wanted and we started adding motion to this chair through those clips. At first, we were throwing people out of the chair. I thought it was great, but we eventually had to tone it down from there. I set my bar high. I wanted to find that high point. It’s an action movie so you should have some action when you play this game. Nothing’s better than playing the game and having that interactive part with the player to completely immerse them into the game.

TAC: And after the research was finished, what were the steps of bringing it all together & bringing this game to fruition?

Steve Slotwinski: It’s pretty close to making a movie. We go through multiple story board options of what we want to happen; essentially story boarding base games and all of the bonus games and features. And when we have a good idea of what we want to do, we throw some math behind it to see what’s actually feasible and if it will actually be a fun game. Then from there, we take those story boards and give them to the artists. All of our artists are incredibly talented people and highly educated, and they make the game how they think it would look the best. We let them run with it for a little bit and from there we just build until we have something that is absolutely fantastic. That’s probably the most condensed version of what we do from start to finish.

TAC: How did you bring the popular characters from the movie into the game?

Steve Slotwinski: We have Toby Maguire, we have James Franco, Kirsten Dunst and William Dafoe. We wanted to incorporate the characters as much as possible. We tried to take whatever we could from the video clips. We took the clips that showcased them the best and threw them into the game and tried to find other bonuses or other types of wins or anything we could that accentuates them. It’s those types of little details that we try to bring into each game to make you feel like you’re actually playing Spider-Man. We don’t want everything to revolve around one character; we want it to revolve around the movie.

TAC: What about this game do you think will resonate with the players at Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City properties?

Steve Slotwinski: It’s gonna be a fun game to play. We’ve had people come here and test out the game and people who have played it before it’s gone to casino and they all sat down, they played a few games and got to a bonus round and got up and said that they didn’t even feel like they were playing a slot machine. They had so much fun playing it that it was almost like a completely different experience as opposed to a regular gambling experience. They were incredibly entertained and they loved that. They were willing to put more money in just to get to the other bonuses so that they could ride the ride and have fun with Spider-Man. That was probably one of the best pieces of feedback that we received so far. It opens up all these new doors. We’re not just making a slot machine anymore or a gaming device. Now we’re making a huge piece of entertainment that people love to play just because it’s that entertaining. I’m hoping to see lines of people waiting to play this game!

TAC: How was producing this game different than most of the other games you’ve worked on (like Wizard Of Oz: Journey To Oz, Price Is Right Plinko Jackpots and Colossal Reels Zodiac Sisters & Tritan’s Gold)?

Steve Slotwinski: This was my first time working with the sensory chair and it’s actually our second game using that chair. This is coming on the heels of Aladdin which was a beautiful ride. Having that license on this product literally allowed me to take that chair to the next level and use it as much as I possibly can.

 

There you have it, folks! Be on the look out for the Spider-Man video slot at Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City casinos soon! Be sure to check back and tell us what you think!
