Participants got fake money to play the games and used the money to buy tickets. They could enter to win Eastern apparel including T-shirts and hooded sweatshirts. At the end of the night, students used their tickets to enter a drawing for the prizes. The more tickets a person bought with the fake money, the bigger the prize they could win. The casino games included blackjack, craps and a money wheel.
Students also bet on a horse race that was shown on a TV large screen.
I like blackjack because I'm winning. My friends dragged me here, but I'm glad they did. There was also a staff free throw contest for students to bet on, which included Associate Director of Housing Brian Fitzgerald and Interim Vice President for Student Affairs Jim Vick as free throw shooters. There was also a bubble gum blowing contest and a dash for cash. Campus radio station WQBR provided the music.
