Wild Wild-style casino to come to College Center

The Student Activities Board will host a Wild West-themed casino night Wednesday from 4-8p.m. in the College Center.

Activities at the event include a poker chip-cookie decorating table. There will be a total of eight poker tables, five Texas hold ’em tables and one table each of roulette, blackjack and craps.

“No real money (will be) involved,” said Brie Cave, receptions coordinator for SAB. “You play with chips like you would at a casino and at the end of the night there will be two top players who will receive a good-as-gold giveaway.”

The winners will be “whoever has collected the most chips at the end of the night, or whenever they finish playing,” Cave said.

“The inspiration is that I love Wild West-themed anything, so I wanted to incorporate it into one of my events,” Cave said. “I wanted to incorporate the origin of casinos, and that would be the Wild West.”

There will also be a chance to take old Western group photos; there will be a stage with props. “You walk in and dress up,” said Cave. “There will be a back drop so it’s looking like you’re in the west,” Cave said.

Free food and refreshments will be provided, barbeque style, and there will be burgers, hotdogs, Southwestern pasta salad, Cajun trail mix, juice and water.

Cave aid SAB has had a casino night in the past, with a great turnout, and was great for all ages.

“I can only have high hopes, so I’m expecting at least 75 people,” Cave said.
