NORWICH – Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, and Texas Hold ‘Em are just a few of the gaming options at the annual Classic Casino Night at the Northeast Classic Car Museum.
The action is set to begin at 6 p.m. and run until 10 p.m., Friday, Oct. 14, at 24 Rexford St. in Norwich.
“Casino Night is a night where people come together to help support the Northeast Classic Car Museum by trying their hand against Lady Luck. The night starts off with a wonderful dinner and silent auction items. Then the fun begins at the tables where Community Celebrity Dealers work our many gambling tables like Roulette, Blackjack, Craps, Poker and Let It Ride. At the end of night you take your winnings which is fake currency and try your hand at winning the many donated live auction items,” said Robert Jeffrey.
Those who have purchased a ticket, which are $65 for the general public and $60 for members, are in for a night full of food and gaming, with the opportunity to win from a plethora of prizes. It was stated that walk-ins are welcome. Admission also includes a $30,000 gaming card, where folks can take their winnings to bid on live auction items. The gaming tables are from the Spencer Daniels Agency.
In addition to the live auction, a silent auction will be held.
Norwich Mayor Christine Carnrike will be attending for the third time.
When asked if she would be taking part in the gambling festivities, she said, “I have only ever played Craps at Casino Night (my gambling is limited to penny machines at Tioga Downs or Turning Stone a few times a year). Bill Loomis kindly taught me what I needed to know about Craps at Casino Night back in 2013. I would never gamble at a "table" in a real casino. I work too hard for my money to watch it disappear in a flash. With the "Casino Cash" I can take the risk of gambling knowing that at the end of the evening I can use my winnings to bid on prizes auctioned off at the end of the event.”
Prizes include, but are not limited to: a Skillin's Jewelers Rose Quartz Silver ring size 7.5, a yoga set complete with bands, blocks, mat, strap and towel, a basketball containing the Syracuse University basketball team statistics, signed by coach Jim Boeheim, a football autographed by Michael Strahan, a World Series 2009 Baseball autographed by retired NY Yankee Andy Pettite, ‘beer for a year’ from the Empire Brewing Company, McNeil Jewelers Chocolate Freshwater pearls, a Kindle Fire HD 8, an iPad Air, Kate Spade handbag, a set of yard dice, a hunting camera donated by Mayhood’s Sporting Goods, Binghamton Senators tickets, a torch set donated by Chenango Welding Supply, and a 40” Samsung Smart TV.
