Rebecca's Recommendations - December 22, 2005

22 December 2005

By Rebecca Liggero

Today I write you from the mourning city of Boston as our beloved Johnny Damon has decided to abandon us for the New York Yanks. Whatever. 52 million shmillion. Ok, moving on. The good news is that I am about to tell you about some EXCLUSIVE offers for Casino City players. I have been doing quite a bit of work with InterCasino.com, Vegas Casino Online, and Slots.com to make this happen, so I hope you enjoy it!

Win an iPod Nano!
My very dear friends at InterCasino have put together an exclusive promo and will be rewarding five Casino City players with an iPod Nano. Have you seen these things? Love them. Anyway, I will be "randomly" choosing the 5 winners, so send me your bribes and I'll hook you up. Just kidding. Ha ha. Seriously though, if you sign up with InterCasino through a Casino City link and deposit a minimum of $50 between December 25th and midnight on December 31st, you will be entered into a free draw to win one of five iPod Nanos. I really will be choosing the winners (yes, randomly) on January 6th and the winners will be notified by email. To top it all off, InterCasino is currently hosing a 12 Days of Festivities promotion from December 19th until December 30th. To review all the special offers available, check "12 Festive Promos" and click on a Christmas stocking to reveal what is taking place that day.

Jingle Bell Vegas Casino Online Blackjack Bonus
Vegas Casino Online has created an exclusive offer for Casino City players as well! All you have to do is open up an account at Vegas Casino Online, claim a 125% bonus on your initial deposit, and play through your initial deposit 10 times. Your next step is to send an email to summer@vegascasinoonline.com with the subject, "Jingle Bell Vegas Casino Online Blackjack Bonus" and include your Vegas Casino Online user account details. Be sure to write in the email "Rebecca at Casino City sent me!", and your initial deposit will be matched (max of $100) for play at the blackjack table. This exclusive bonus is in addition to the 125% first deposit match bonus, so be sure and take advantage of this special offer for Casino City players.

Holly Jolly Slots.com Bonus
Until midnight on December 31st, Slots.com has an exclusive offer for Casino City players too. Just open up an account at Slots.com, claim your 125% initial deposit bonus, and when making your second deposit, you can take advantage of the following exclusive offer: deposit $50, get $75 free on Slots Games, deposit $75, get $100, OR, deposit $100, get $125 free. To take part in this offer, please send an email to support@slots.com with the subject "Holly Jolly Slots.com Bonus" plus your Slots.com player account details and write "Casino City sent me!". Yay!

Gaming Preferences Questionnaire
Lastly, I was hoping that you could help out McGill University by filling out an online questionnaire. What's in it for you? The satisfaction of helping out a good cause (McGill University’s International Centre for Youth Gambling Problems and High-Risk Behavior), AND you could win a $50 Amazon gift certificate. What the heck, right? This survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete, (a solid way to kill some time at work before Christmas vacation)it is completely anonymous, and only the research team at McGill University will have access to this information. Enjoy the survey my friends!

Ok, before signing off, I must leave you with a snippet of my all-time favorite Christmas humor, "Letters to Santa".

Dear Santa,
I've written you for three years now asking for a fire truck. Please, I really really want a fire truck this year! Love, Joey
Dear Joey,
Let me make it up to you. While you sleep, I'm gonna torch your house. You'll have more fire trucks than you'll know what to do with. Santa

Dear Santa,
I left milk and cookies for you under the tree, and I left carrots for your reindeer outside the backdoor. Love, Susan
Dear Susan,
Milk gives me the shits and carrots make the deer fart in my face. You want to be a kiss-ass? Leave me a glass of Chivas Regal and some Toblerone. Santa

Dear Santa,
What do you do the other 364 days of the year? Are you making toys? Your friend, Thomas
Dear Thomas,
All toys get made in China. I have a condo in Vegas, where I spend most my time squeezing cocktail waitresses asses, and losing all my cash at the craps table. Hey, YOU wanted to know! Santa

Rebecca Liggero

Rebecca Liggero loves meeting new people and traveling – perfect qualities for someone who has won friends and influenced people in the worldwide online gaming community.

After graduating from Bates College with a degree in psychology, Rebecca spent four years in Washington, DC, working in relationship management, dreaming all the while about someday making it big in online gaming. After turning down an opportunity to live in New Zealand, she moved back to Boston and signed on as Senior Account Manager for Casino City – the beginning of a dream come true!

Rebecca’s work on behalf of Casino City (and later for the GPWA as well) took her to trade shows and conferences everywhere – Amsterdam, Barcelona, Costa Rica, Montreal, London, Las Vegas, Macau and many other ports of call – and along the way she began chronicling her incredible around-the-clock adventures in a wildly entertaining and industry-savvy weekly column that quickly became – and still remains – must reading for everyone who is anyone in online gaming. Following almost three years with the Casino City team, Rebecca spent a few months at Everest Affiliates where she was the Brand Manager of the affiliate program. While working on “the other side,” she realized that she truly missed her weekly column and the affiliate side of the business and decided to return to the Casino City family.

One and a half years later, Rebecca resigned from Casino City and joined industry icon Calvin Ayre to serve as the Bodog Global Brand Ambassador and the head on-site reporter for the online gambling industry tablog, CalvinAyre.com. In her new capacity, Rebecca continues to travel the world, and when asked where she is based, her response is usually "on an airplane."
