Stars Casino MI launched its version of the Casino Race Leaderboards, a popular slot promotion launched by PokerStars USA for the month of August. After initially launching in New Jersey, the promotion shifts to Michigan and Pennsylvania with up to $50,000 in prizes across both states.
The week-long, Main Event leaderboard race began on August 23 and continues through August 30 for Stars Casino MI players. The top 10 finishers of a race will win $1,000 or more, with first place prizes totaling $10,000 in cash.
- Generous welcome offer
- Good slots variety
- Regular slots leaderboards
Races are free to join and any spin could land a player at the top of the leaderboard. Leaderboard placement is based on a player’s win-to-wager ratio, meaning that the more a player wins, the higher they advance up the leaderboard. Players can join races by clicking on the “Races” tab in the Stars Casino app. The promotion ends on August 30.
A similar promotion is being held on the same dates in New Jersey for Stars Casino NJ players, but prizes total $20,000 in the Garden State version of the promotion, with $4,000 in cash being the top prize in the state.
Many Summer Promotions from PokerStars USA
The Casino Race Leaderboards promotion is the latest in a summer full of promotions across the PokerStars USA network.
In mid-June, Stars Casino MI held a seven-day Slot of the Day promotion, where players would play a new slot game every day. Players were required to wager at least $10 on each slot in order to receive $5 worth of free play for use on the same game.
At the time—and still currently—Stars Casino MI offered all new players $50 in free play funds after wagering just $1 of their own money on any slot spin or casino game. New players for Stars Casino PA were offered the same promotion but were also eligible for a welcome package of up to $2,500 in bonus funds. That welcome package took the form of three deposit bonuses worth up to $500 each and two slots-only bonuses worth up to $1,000 in total.
During the month of June, PokerStars USA launched a Daily Blackjack Insurance promotion for Stars Casino PA, Stars Casino MI and Stars Casino NJ players. The blackjack promotion offered 50% of losses back on the first five blackjack hands played in a day, up to a maximum of $25. Promotion funds were issued as Casino Credits, which could be used on all games available on Stars Casino—with the exception of live dealer games.
But that’s not to say live dealer games went unpromoted. In celebration of a decision by the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) in July to let Evolution provide live dealer games in the state, Stars Casino MI launched a live blackjack promotion in early August that allowed players to get up to $50 of their net losses back.
The promotion was also launched in Pennsylvania by Stars Casino PA. Evolution provides live dealer games to Stars casinos in Michigan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania using studios in the Detroit suburb of Southfield, MI, Atlantic City and Philadelphia, respectively.
On July 1, Stars Casino MI, Stars Casino PA and Stars Casino NJ all renewed the Daily Blackjack Insurance promotion in their states, extending the promotion through the end of the year.
