Casino Night Planned for UW Students Aug. 27

A casino night for University of Wyoming students will kick off weekend activities for the fall semester.

The event, sponsored by 7220 Entertainment in the UW Campus Activities Center (CAC), in partnership with Fraternity and Sorority Life, will be Saturday, Aug. 27, at 9 p.m. in the Wyoming Union.

In the Wyoming Union’s upper level, students will have the opportunity to play casino games such as slot machines, poker and blackjack; and other games such as bingo and trivia also will be offered. Students will be eligible to win prizes.

“No actual money will be used, and students will be given tokens when they arrive and present their student IDs,” says Madeline Curry, CAC marketing coordinator. “‘Mocktails’ also will be available.”

In the lower level, students can enjoy performances from on-campus student organizations, participate in karaoke or play games in Pete’s Game Room. A coffee and dessert bar also will be available.

7220 Entertainment is looking for committee members to join one or more of its five committees responsible for planning student events during the academic year. A general interest meeting to learn more about 7220 Entertainment is scheduled at 5 p.m. in Pete’s Game Room Thursday, Sept. 1.
