The Super Bowl may be over, but the year has just begun for Bodog. With more Sports, Poker and Casino events and promotions planned than ever before, 2009 is already shaping up to be a banner year for Bodog.

Bodog Poker is ahead of the game, having already given away 11 $12,000 World Series of Poker* prize packages, with many more to come throughout the year. Also in the cards for 2009 is a third installment of the overwhelmingly successful Bodog Poker Open (BPO). With even bigger and better prizes, BPO III is tentatively scheduled for spring 2009. Alongside a slew of events and promotions, Bodog Poker will be adding a monthly player driven Q&A section to the site where players will submit Poker questions to be answered by Bodog Poker Pro Justin Bonomo. In other exciting news, Bodog Poker is now available to Mac users via a brand new flash based poker client, try it out here.

Bodog Casino will be launching an all new Baccarat leader board contest where players will accrue points for the amount of Baccarat they play and at the end of every week, before the leader board is reset for the next contest week, the top five players will be awarded a $100 casino chip. After four weeks, the player with the highest combined score for the previous four weeks will win a grand prize $1,000 casino chip. Following the Baccarat contest will be a special Bodog Mobile Casino promotion, along with an all new Roulette contest and themed Blackjack tables for Triple Crown and March Madness.

Bodog Sports has taken a quick lead out of the gates, offering futures odds on the 2009 NBA Championship game, the 2009 World Series, the 2010 BCS National Championship NCAA football game and will be posting futures odds on Super Bowl XLIV shortly. While already offering odds on most major sporting events for the next two years, Bodog Sports will be running some very exciting promotions and contests around Kentucky Derby, March Madness and a number of other major sporting events throughout 2009.

“The Super Bowl has been and gone, and as great as it was, you haven’t seen anything yet. The big game is just the start of the year at Bodog,” says Morris Mohawk Gaming Group (MMGG) CEO Alwyn Morris (MMGG is the exclusive licensee of the Bodog online gaming brand in North America). “2009 is going to be packed with exciting new events, promotions and contests across all Bodog channels, with some pretty impressive prizes and prize packages up for grabs. We’re going to make 2009 one of Bodog’s best years yet!”

Kelly J. of Calif. made the decision of a lifetime when she opted to switch up her routine, giving Bodog Casino‘s Caribbean Stud a go instead of her usual game, Let ‘Em Ride. Just three hands into her first round of Caribbean Stud she struck gold, and lots of it. Opting to throw an extra dollar into the mix for a shot at the progressive jackpot turned out to be the best investment she has ever made as she watched in total disbelief as she was dealt the mother of all hands, a Royal Flush. Even though the dealer didn’t qualify, that extra dollar qualified her for the progressive jackpot, which won her a whopping $141,000!

Bodog Beat had a chance to chat with Kelly and it was clear she was not only elated, but still in complete shock. “I just couldn’t believe it until I woke up the next morning and Bodog called me. And then it was like, oh wow, that really happened. I was in just absolute utter shock.” The big win couldn’t have come at a better time for Kelly, who said, “I feel blessed. It’s one of those things that happens to you and it really changes your life in the most profound way. You know, there were certain things that I wanted to take care of but couldn’t and then suddenly this happens and it really… it really changed my life.” Kelly also has plans to put the money to good use. “I’m going to pay some bills and I’ve got a sick friend and they were needing some money and I wasn’t able to come up with it and all of a sudden I feel like I can help them.” The Bodog Casino veteran added, “I play at various different online casinos and when it happened I remember thinking, ‘Thank God it was Bodog.’ Because it’s the only one I feel like, yeah they’re definitely going to pay this out. It’s not like they are all of a sudden going to be gone tomorrow. And I’ve got friends who gamble online and I told them, ‘You’ve got to stop doing anything except with Bodog because you can trust them.’”

Joining Kelly in the winners circle is a veritable army of recent Bodog Casino winners: Zachary M. hit a massive $159,000 Let ‘Em Ride progressive jackpot in Sept., Adrian P. – one of Bodog Casino’s all time biggest winners – added another $28,960 in Jacks or Better to his previous staggering video poker score of over $1 mil., Ryan F. took down $19,943 in Blackjack, Keith S. cashed in a $21,549 win in Red Sands video slots, Clint H. racked up $22,502 playing Blackjack and Craps and many others struck pay dirt in the Bodog Casino.
