Oct means Ocean City casinos are preparing for Halloween celebrations. However, if getting dressed up for a costume party is not your cup of tea, there is nothing to be scared about. Why? Because there is plenty happening along the famous Boardwalk and the Marina District.
Hard Rock Hotel Casino Atlantic City is preparing to roll out the Unity by Hard Rock rewards program. Plus, Showtime is returning to AC with another live boxing card.
And what would a month of Ocean City Boardwalk Talk news be without some restaurant news? PlayNJ has an update regarding when Nobu will be opening in Caesars Atlantic City.
Here is a closer look at the latest AC casino events.
Unity Simply by Hard Rock and roll coming soon in order to Atlantic Town
Hard Rock Hotel Casino is in the process of introducing Unity – the new global loyalty program. For now, the Atlantic City market is on the waiting list. Unity by Hard Rock is available in all Seminole Casinos, including Hollywood, Fla. Eventually, customers will earn Unity points at all Hard Rock casinos, hotels, restaurants, and rock shops.
This program is replacing the current Wild Card players rewards. When the transition to Unity occurs, players will maintain the same account numbers. New cards will be issued at kiosks and the players club desk. More importantly, don’t worry about your current tier status. The system will automatically convert to the equivalent Unity tier status (Wild Card tier points will convert to Unity tier credits at a rate of 1:1). Wild Card comp dollars will become Unity points (100 Unity Points = 1 Comp dollar).
Here’s a look at Unity tier levels:
– Star: 0–3,666,666 tier credits
– Legend: 4,000–13,999 tier credits
– Icon: 15,000+ tier credits
– X: Request only
PlayNJ will provide updates once Hard Rock AC transitions to the new program. Additionally, it seems likely that Hard Rock online casino players will see some changes to their rewards program.
