1. Morongo's Famous $300,000 Side Show (July 6 - August 28)

Morongo has an alternating promotion that lasts two months at a time, this time it is a circus themed event.

Each week, players can earn scratch off ticket and contest entry for every 500 points on slots/video poker/video keno/video roulette or $35 theoretical loss at a table game. The limit is 10 tickets per week with the deadline being Friday.

A scratchier can either reveal a letter or a prize.

If a letter is revealed, the player must hold onto it until S-I-D-E-S-H-O-W is spelled out. The first player who collects all the letters will win the grand prize of $50,000. If the player already has a duplicate letter in possession, he/she may trade it in for another drawing entry for the week's drawing for a maximum potential of 20 entries.

If a prize is revealed, it could be free slot play, free show ticket, free meal, or free Morongo merchandise.

If a player has at least one scratch off ticket, they will receive a ticket to watch a miniature circus show held each Friday. During the show, drawing entries earned through the week will be randomly selected and the Player's names will be called out.

7. The King of Morongo Promotions - Weekly Luxury Car Giveaway

Sundays August 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 from 6pm to 10pm

This is the only promotion where high rollers can have a huge advantage.

Players playing with their Rewards card will have their accumulated points earned throughout the week into the drawing. 1 point = 1 drawing entry.

Must be present to win. At 6pm, 6:30pm, 7pm, 7:30pm, 8pm, 8:30pm, 9pm, 9:30pm a name will be called for $1000 in free slot play. The winner has 5 minutes to claim the prize, or else another name is called. A player is only eligible for 1 slot play prize per day.

At 10pm, a name will be drawn for a luxury car. For August, it will be the Dodge Challenger R/T +. Free slot play winners are eligible again for this prize.

Everyone has a chance to win.

There has been a story where a college student attending UC Riverside who played a penny slot machine for a few minutes with just $5 dollar bill, ended up winning the luxury car.

There have been high rollers who have won multiple cars, but gave back the value of the cars in gambling losses.

Interesting perspective some people have about this. This is just an opportunity to buy a car at a fraction of the price due to the 1099 taxes you will need to pay for it.

85% of the car winners take a lower cash prize instead of the car.
