Your Summer Lucky List: The Casino Promotions Worth Planning Around at Ocean

Every summer has its traditions. And if you're an Ocean Rewards member? Checking the promotions calendar before you book. Because while luck may be unpredictable, timing isn't.

Summer is when Ocean Casino Resort turns up the excitement with recurring promotions, can't-miss sweepstakes, Hot Seat drawings, and extra ways to get rewarded for the play you were already planning to enjoy.

Here's what's happening on the casino floor this summer—and why it deserves a spot on your itinerary.

Wednesday Called. It Brought the Lucky Wheel.

Some people plan vacations around concerts. Others plan them around Wednesdays. Every week throughout the summer, Lucky Wheel Wednesdays give Ocean Rewards members another reason to swipe, spin and see where the day takes them.

It's the kind of promotion that turns an ordinary midweek visit into something worth talking about—and one of the reasons experienced players know the casino calendar can be just as important as the entertainment calendar.

Pro Tip: Before your visit, check the latest Ocean Casino promotions alongside the Ocean Events Calendar. You might find the perfect excuse to extend your trip by a day or two.

thursdays Are About Playing Smarter

There's a reason 10X Free Play Thursdays have become a summer tradition. You're already planning to play—why not make every dollar go a little further?

Multiplier days reward Ocean Rewards members with even more value throughout their visit, making Thursdays one of the smartest days to hit the casino floor.

If you're new to Ocean Rewards, this is the perfect time to learn how the program works and how recurring promotions can help maximize every visit.

Circle These Dates

Not every promotion happens every week. Some are worth building an entire weekend around. Throughout the summer, Ocean's biggest casino events include:

• Million Dollar Sweepstakes for guests chasing life-changing prizes.
• Hot Seat Drawings that reward players simply for being in the right place at the right time.
• Slot Tournaments that add a little friendly competition to the casino floor.
• Tier-exclusive promotions designed to reward Ocean Rewards members even more.

The specifics may change from year to year, but one thing stays the same: summer is when Ocean brings out some of its biggest promotions.

Turn a Promotion into a Weekend

Here's the move seasoned Ocean guests already know: Don't visit just for the promotion, build an entire weekend around it.

Arrive in time for 10X Free Play Thursday, then kick off the evening with dinner at one of Ocean's signature restaurants. If you're deciding where to eat, our dining guide can help you find the right spot for everything from celebratory dinners to quick bites before hitting the casino floor.

Stay overnight so Friday's drone show (which only happens in the summer), live entertainment, and another round of gaming are all just steps away. Not sure which accommodations fit your trip? Explore our guide to rooms and suites at Ocean before you book.
