A high roller blackjack tourney has been newly introduced into the Cleveland County Arts Council’s annual casino night event.
The event also includes $100 VIP packages. VIP players will never have to leave the gambling tables as the package includes personal servers who will bring drinks directly to their tables. The package also includes free casino money, tickets to drinks, and the admission ticket. The Arts Council has newly introduced this feature into its annual fundraiser, an event that usually comprises Las Vegas style games such as Craps, Blackjack, and Roulette, silent auction, and food.
Two Texas Hold’em tournaments will also be held as part of this tournament. These events are very popular as they give participants an opportunity to win cash prizes sponsored by local entrepreneurs. Players need to register in advance and pay a tournament fee of $20 per tournament if they wish to take part.
The Big Chill 50-50 Split Raffle, a regular feature of the annual casino night, will also be held this year. Those who wish to take part can either purchase three tickets for $25 or one ticket for $10. Participants can win the raffle even if they are not present physically at the venue.

Does the presence of blackjack mean every event used cash wagers?
No. Read the event-specific description. Casino nights may use different entry, play-credit and prize arrangements; the word blackjack alone does not establish those terms.
