Resorts Casino is one of the most safe and trustworthy online casinos in New Jersey, given it relies on a partnership that brings its own Atlantic City powerhouse casino, the Mohegan Sun’s credibility and experience, and PokerStars’ global online-gambling expertise.

Resorts Casino received EGR North America’s Operator of the Year award, and the iGaming North America award for the Marketing campaign that many in the industry hailed as holding the standard for responsible gambling, with the slogan “Bet with your head, not over it”.

There is a good selection of deposit and withdrawal methods, but it would be nice for Resorts Casino to offer a few more online deposit methods (for example the Skrill e-wallet which is increasing in popularity, and offered by other New Jersey online casinos).

Firstly, Resorts Casino will give you a 100 Free Spins upon registration, so you can try some of their cool games before you deposit money.  The Free Spins are available on three games: AbraCardDabra, Shields of the Wild and Kingdom’s Edge.  You will need to play through these 5x times in order to convert winnings to cash, and to unlock this promotion you will need to use a code that can be found only on Facebook and TV ads.  But if you want to try Resorts Casino at no risk, it’s worth looking it up.

The deposit bonus is where things get exciting.  Resorts Casino will match your deposit by 100%, up to $1,000.  So, if for example you will deposit $100, Resorts Casino will credit your account with another $100 of free-play money, so you have $200 to play with.  Or $1,000 to play with if you deposit $500 and so on.

You will still have some play-through requirements before that free-play bonus money can be converted into cash.  That is, you will need to play through the bonus for 30x times on slot games, and 150x times on table games.

Although the play-through requirements on table games are high compared to the other online casinos in New Jersey, we found the Resorts Casino bonus for new users is pretty generous compared to other online casinos in New Jersey.

The game selection is fantastic at Resorts Casino, powered by top game provides such as SG Digital, Williams Interactive, IGT, NetEnt, Aristocrat Gaming and more.  We found almost 700 games on offer, including over 600 Slots, a big selection of 16 Live Dealer games with different variations of Roulette and Blackjack.  On the Table Games section we counted 8 variations of Roulette, 7 of Blackjack and no less than 16 games of Video Poker.  One thing that surprised us was to find only 5 Progressive-Jackpot Games, which were hidden amongst all the other Slot Games and hard to find.

We also liked the exclusive games such as Wild Plunder, Double Play Super Bet and Fox’in Win in its many variations.

User Interface and Navigation

The Resorts Casino user interface is very simple.  It looks pleasant with the blue background and white text.  And the menu and search bar are easy to find.  There is an “All Slots” tab that is self-explanatory, and lets you set the order by “Favorites”, “A to Z”, “Top Rated”, etc.  Also, there is a list vs. tile view for those who like a more detailed search.

The “Promotions” section provides many different promos for sports betting, loyalty card information, live-dealer advertisements, winner listings and more.

The options for browsing through the games are a bit limited, and with such a great variety of games, it would be better if Resorts Casino would provide users with a few more tools to browse through them all.

Resorts Casino enables you to play on a browser-based desktop client, browser-based version of the casino that is adjusted for smartphones and other mobile devices, and a dedicated Resorts Casino mobile app.

The mobile-customizable browser version is very similar to the desktop one.  Again, the game-search and usability can be improved a bit.  On the bright side, the game variety is still huge on mobile also, and so you can still enjoy the Resorts Casino big stable of games on the go, with almost 600 games on the mobile version.

The Resorts Casino mobile app is available on both iOS for iPhones and iPads, and Android phones and devices.  The mobile app also has a respectable amount of games, with over 200 titles.

Resorts Casino provides changing promotions, such as draws for the latest smartphones, double loyalty points and different daily loyalty point bonuses to redeem with bonus codes provided on the site.  We liked the promotions that award loyalty points, and found them to be original and fun.

The one big promotion that is ongoing is called “$3,000,000 Daily Games”.  You will need to log in everyday in order to receive draw entries for $1, $2, $5, $10 and $50 bonus dollars.  Also once a week there is a $1,000 giveaway.  Then there are the bigger prizes of $10,000 bonus dollars, and at the end up to a $3,000,000 prize.

One thing for the Resorts Casino team to look at: reading the terms & conditions section for this promotion left us a bit confused, so it would be good to state the terms clearer.

Loyalty Program

Resorts Rewards, which is the Resorts Casino loyalty program, allows you to earn Resorts Points (RPs) whilst playing in Resorts Casino for real money.  You will win points as following:

• Slots: 1 RP for $2 wager.
• Roulette: 1 RP for $4 wager.
• Table Games and Video Poker: 1 RP for $8 wager.

Points can then be used for cashback (Slots: 0.04%, Roulette 0.02%, Blackjack and Video Poker 0.01%), VIP promotions and sweepstakes, loyalty gifts and also discounts, food drinks, upgrades and even full complimentary night stays in the Resorts properties.  Cashback levels, gifts and other rewards change and increase as you advance to higher tiers.

There are two levels of loyalty programs, with tiers at each.  Monthly points required for each are as follows:

Standard

• Bronze: 0-500 RPs
• Silver: 500 RPs
• Gold: 2,000 RPs
• Platinum: 7,500 RPs
• Diamond: 20,000 RPs

Echelon (VIP)

• Echelon: 75,000 RPs
• Plus: 200,000 RPs
• Elite: 750,000 RPs
• Black: Invitation only

The loyalty program is very detailed and transparent, it is easy to understand and all information is stated in the Resorts Casino site clearly.  The many levels and tiers, as well as the great options to redeem points makes it one of the better online-casino Loyalty programs in New Jersey.

As said by one player: “My husband and I played on Resorts Casino online for a year, and without noticing we climbed up in Resorts Rewards rankings.  When finally visiting the Resorts Hotel in Atlantic City, we got a fantastic dinner, and some more drinks and freebies.  It was great.”
