HOW CASINO NIGHT WORKS

Gaming: The tables will open for approximately 4 hours.

Play Chips: Each player will receive their initial bank roll of $5000 in chips when they arrive as part of their entry fee. Chips have no real monetary value and can be traded for smaller denominations at the tables. At the end of the evening, guests will be able to purchase raffle tickets with the chips they have earned. The raffles will be drawn at 10:30 pm.

Bets: Each table has a sign indicating the game as well as the minimum and maximum bet.

Dancing: When the casino portion of the evening closes, the floor will be opened for dancing, so the fun can continue!
