Weekends @ TU hosted the “Weekends goes Vegas!” Casino Night in the West Village Commons Ballrooms Sept. 13.
Many students were attracted to Casino Night for its fun environment, prizes, and free food.
“I was under the impression I had to bring money,” said Bethany DePalo, a freshman at Towson University. “I was pleasantly surprised when I found it was free.”
Onyedikachukwu Onyemeziem, a freshman, was excited to see what prizes would be up for grabs.
“I was hoping for a TV, but it’s fine, they have Airpods,” Onyemezium said.
Brianna Coleman, a first year graduate student, helped with the event Friday night.
“This is our second Casino Night,” Coleman said. “We did one last year and it was really successful, so we thought it would be nice to bring it back. We know a lot of students, especially freshmen and sophomores and some juniors, are not 21 yet, so they can’t go to a real casino, so why not come and get the practice here and win some cool prizes.”
Coleman also shared that she believes Casino Night is a great way for students to try gambling at no risk.
“You don’t have the stress of losing your own money. It’s all fake money, so they get the opportunity to learn how to play the games without being worried of going bankrupt,” Coleman said.
Students participated in various casino style games such as blackjack and roulette. They were given fake money in which they could cash in for chips, to gamble without actually losing any of their own money.
“[I came because] this sounded like a lot of fun,” said Dorian Smith, a sophomore. “I’ve been hearing a lot about it this past week since it’s been advertised. When I was younger, I had a prom that actually had a bunch of these games. [My friends and I] knew how much fun this was going to be, so we decided to come out.”
Craig Scott, Coordinator of Campus Programming at Towson University, helped organize the Casino Night.
“Weekends @ TU is all about keeping the students engaged on the weekends on campus,” said Scott. “Casino Night is always very popular. We do it every year. We always have a good turnout and a diverse group of people that come out. That’s always the goal. Plus, I love to gamble, so this is my way of guilt-free gambling.”
Casino Night was advertised on the Towson’s Instagram page, “Weekends @ TU,” Towson’s events app, displayed on flyers in the Union, and emailed to students.
“I saw this on the Events @ TU app,” said Gabrielle Fields, a freshman at Towson University. “I also got an email. I wake up really early morning when it first comes out and look through what’s happening. My dad also tried to teach me poker three times and I didn’t retain any of that information.”
Up next, Weekends @ TU will be hosting a Game Night in Paws Cafe on Sept. 19.
On my recent visit to Chernobyl, I was struck by the stark contrast between past calamity and present calm. The tour was meticulously organized, ensuring that each participant gained a comprehensive understanding of the site’s history and present condition. Individuals keen on historical exploration should consider the tours provided at chernobyl holidays , where safety and education are prioritized.
Casino Night at Towson University sounds like an amazing event for students to unwind and enjoy some fun activities. It’s great to see how events like these provide a risk-free environment for students to learn and practice casino games. Bethany DePalo’s surprise at the event being free is relatable, and it’s fantastic that the organizers made it accessible to everyone. Onyedikachukwu Onyemeziem’s excitement about the prizes, especially the Airpods, adds to the enthusiasm surrounding the event. Brianna Coleman’s insights on the benefits of Casino Night highlight how it’s a perfect way for students to experience the thrill of gambling without any financial risk. For those interested in more serious poker games, check out the exciting poker tournaments in Winnipeg. Craig Scott’s dedication to keeping students engaged is evident, and it’s wonderful that events like these draw such a diverse crowd. Gabrielle Fields’ comment about learning poker from her dad adds a personal touch, showing how these events can spark interest in new hobbies. Looking forward to the next event, Game Night at Paws Cafe, which promises to be another fun-filled evening!
Hey everyone! I heard about the Daman Game App from my brother-in-law in Delhi. He’s been playing it for a while, and one day I saw him enjoying a game, so I thought, why not try it too? I downloaded it and started playing some casino games. The interface was easy to use, and I had a great time. Although I had a few losses in the beginning, I ended up with a nice win. It’s great to have something entertaining to play, and I’m happy to recommend it to others in India.
A friend from college told me about https://aviator.in when we were chilling after class one day. I thought it was just another hype game, but he insisted it’s all about timing and nerves. He was right. I’ve had sessions where I cashed out way too early and kicked myself after, but then there were rounds where I held on just long enough and felt like a genius. I live in India and mostly play during commutes. It’s simple, fast, and surprisingly engaging.
While waiting for my dinner to cook, I wanted something to pass the time that wasn’t just scrolling social media. I searched around and found Dragonia Casino. They had promotions for weekends, free spins for deposits, and even some exclusive offers for regular players. The variety was more than I expected, so I stayed longer than planned. In Australia it works perfectly even late at night. I liked it because I could mix it into my routine without it feeling too serious.
