NFL Football Returns, Beer Lovers Rejoice, Blackjack Tournament Tuesday, More

Penny Progressive Climbing

We have no idea what it really means when someone says a jackpot is “due to hit” so we won’t make that claim with respect to our Penny Progressive Slots. Just saying that it has “hit” for less than the current total and for more than the current total. However you look at it, all it takes is a 90-coin bet!

The USAF Thunderbird Ground Show

For Our Many Beer Loving Customers

Thursday is National Beer Lover's Day and how coincidental that it falls on the same day as the very first NFL football game of the 2017/2018 season! How does one celebrate National Beer Lover's Day? Why do we love beer so much? How did all this get started? Who really knows, but there are some great speculations at this link and this link. And here's even more entertaining information on the subject of beer: someone who considers himself or herself a beer enthusiast is sometimes referred to as a Cerevisaphile (two weeks in a row for a 13 letter word)! To learn more about this moniker and some other interesting facts about beer, click here. And if you enjoy beer, whatever you call yourself, you'll find plenty of selections in draft, bottled and canned brews at the various bars in the Carson Valley Inn, Sharkey's Casino and Bodines Casino. Drink responsibly and enjoy!
