HOW THE CASINO GAMING WORKS…
The Casino portion of the evening will begin directly after the Live Auction and will include Roulette, Craps, Black Jack and a possible Texas Hold’em Tournament. At any time during the evening (except during the Live Auction) you can purchase additional gaming tokens (for trade with the casino dealers for gaming tokens) by using your Auction number.
At about 10:45 p.m., the gaming portion of the evening will end and you will trade in your tokens with any casino dealer for raffle tickets based on the amount of tokens you earned. These tickets will be used as your chance to win at the Casino Raffle. If you don’t want to play any of the casino games, but you still want a chance to win the great Casino prizes, feel free to go to any cashier and purchase tickets.
DINNER…
At 8:00 p.m. a seated dinner will be served by Scott’s Catering.
