Online casinos hold plenty of promotions for slots players. But Bovada Casino is running a promotion for its blackjack and video poker players. There is a special reason for this. At Bovada Casino both blackjack and video poker are about to hit the 50 millionth hand. Considering that Bovada Casino went live only in December 2011, this is fantastic progress.

Bovada Casino has set up a number of milestones on the way to the 50 millionth hand. Every time a player hits a milestone hand he wins a prize. The milestone hands before the big one are the 45, 46, 47, 48, and 49 million hands. The Milestone Hand promotion has been running at Bovada Casino for about a week and some of the milestone hands have been hit. The 45 millionth hand was hit in blackjack on March 22 by Devin V from Illinois. As on March 23 the blackjack countdown was 45,030,012. Video poker is drawing greater traffic at Bovada Casino. Three milestone hands have been hit in that game category. The 45 millionth hand was hit on March 18 by Merle H from Oregon. The 46 millionth hand was hit on March 20 by William W from California. The 47 millionth hand was hit on March 22 by Benjamin L from California. As on March 23 the blackjack countdown was 47,243,361.

There is a prize pool of $7,500 for each game for being dealt the milestone hands. Players with the 45, 46, 47, 48, and 49 million hands will win $500 each. The player with the 50 million hands will win $5,000. There are no rollover requirements for any of the cash prizes.

In the Milestone promotion Bovada Casino is also offering a match bonus. To qualify for the 50% match bonus, players must redeem the coupon code COUNTDOWN and make a deposit during the promotional period. There is no fixed closing date. The Milestone promotion will run till the 50 millionth hand is hit in both game categories. The maximum total match bonus amount is $50. Each Bovada Casino player can redeem this bonus only once. The rollover requirement is 40 times the deposit and the bonus before the deposit and bonus amount can be withdrawn. Any play in Single Deck and Double Deck Blackjack, baccarat, Sic Bo, craps and roulette will not count toward meeting rollover requirements for withdrawal.

Bovada Casino is also running another promotion titled El Luchador based on a wrestling themed slot game launched earlier this month. The promotion ends on April 1 and the all expenses paid trip to Mexico City is still up for grabs. Bovada Casino is licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.
