Casino Night draws crowd to the Landing

The Andrews Hall staff hosted Casino Night in the Landing from 4-6 p.m., Saturday, for residents to come and compete for a chance at various prizes, ranging from movies to a Keurig Coffee maker.

The event proved to be popular, as 60 students showed up to try and win the prizes up for grabs.

Residents were assigned a set number of poker chips to use at the stations in the room. The stations were manned by the residential advisors of Andrews Hall with a total of five stations for residents to “bet” at.

“I thought it would be interesting, and casino games are usually fun and it would be a good way to connect with other people” Joel Schroeder, 20, junior of Paxton, said.

Students would compete at each of the stations, gambling to win tickets to put into bowls in front of each of the prizes.

Each ticket was worth one entry for a prize. The more tickets with your name, the higher possibility your name would be drawn with the corresponding prize.

“The main goal was to have an opportunity for students to have a fun, enjoyable time while taking a break from their studies,” said Assistant Director of Andrews Anthony Zimny, 30, of Wyoming.
