Happy New Year, Polar Plunge Promotion, More from the Carson Valley Inn

We Wish All of Our Readers a
Very Healthy, Happy and Prosperous 2020

 

Take Our Polar Plunge

Lots of cash and FreePlay are up for grabs in our Polar Plunge promotion going on all of January and February. We make it simple: use your Inn Club card whenever you play at the CVI and you automatically accumulate one virtual entry ticket for every five points you earn. Every Friday and Saturday night between 6 and 8 PM we'll have drawings from these virtual entries and Hot Seats (random selections from those playing in the casino while using their Inn Club card.) We’ll have Cash and FreePlay prizes for those drawn and if you are selected to play our Polar Plunge board game on a Friday or Saturday night, you'll have a chance to "break the ice" for up to $1000!

Poker Room Hopping Next Two Mondays

• If you won one of our Poker Room’s Opening Shootout Tournaments during November or December be sure to “be here” on Monday, January 6 for our Tournament of Champions event at 6 PM with no buy-in and $400 up for grabs.
• Starting Tuesday, January 7 poker players will start earning squares into the Poker Room’s NCAA Championship Football game on Monday night, January 13. Earn a square for every qualifying winning hand during the week and get in on the $200 in prizes: $50 for each of the first three quarters and $50 for the final score. 

Where Did It/They Go?

• If you came in to the Carson Valley Inn, Sharkey's, Bodines or SlotWorld on Christmas Day you might've noticed that the Penny Progressive Jackpot was just over $10,000. You can thank Santa who landed his sleigh on the roof of Sharkey's Casino on Christmas Eve, came down the Sharkey's chimney, tapped one of our customers playing the Penny Progressive on the shoulder, and the result was a $69,084 Christmas present for one very lucky player! The gentleman politely asked that we do not use his name or show a picture and of course we always honor such requests. As he departed with check in-hand, his smile and demeanor indicated that others in his family were going to have a very nice Christmas the next day!
• And remember those three Yeti coolers to be given away at the last Monday Night Football game? They were all claimed promptly, one each by Kyle W., James P. and Sydney D. – all of whom certainly understood their capacity, quality and beer-enhancing capabilities!
• Going back to our Poker Room’s $1,000 Free Roll Tournament in early December, the top four finishers were Janice T. ($400), John C. ($300), Scott G. ($200) and Irene D ($200). Lots of fun down to the very end when the cash was doled out!

From the Sports & Race Book

• Sports Book Mike’s Musings:
• NFL favorites went 9-7 against the spread last week.  Five of the dogs won; none bigger than those Dolphins who ended up winning five games this season.
• Folks remarked that there were lots of high scoring games in the NFL last week.  As a matter of fact, 12 of the 16 games (75%) went over.
• Interceptions were all the rage after the Tampa Bay game. Jamies threw another Pick 6 to get into the record books as the only NFL player to throw seven Pick-6 in one season and the only NFL Player with 30 TD passes and 30 INTs in the same season. Who has thrown the most career pass interceptions in the NFL? I was guessing Philip Rivers, who certainly has had lots of turnovers. Lots. But, he's well back of Brett Favre. Vinnie Testaverde is fourth - how in the world did he play 21 seasons? And who has the most among active QBs? How about Eli Manning!
• Our Pro Pick’em Progressive Jackpot managed to make it through the regular NFL season without "hitting" so we continue it into the NFL playoffs and add a few simple proposition bets to get to the 15 selections on the card. The jackpot is up to $4762 for this weekend's Wildcard games - pick all 15 NFL winners on the $5 Parlay Card and it’s yours. If it doesn't “hit” this weekend, the jackpot climbs based on the collective contest play at the CVI, Sharkey’s, Bodines and SlotWorld. We'll continue this through the NFL playoffs until it hits. If the progressive isn’t won by Super Bowl Sunday, the jackpot will go to the person or persons (ties are split) who picks the most out of 15 for the Super Bowl game. And remember, you can play as many $5 parlay cards as you like each week.
• Seasonal Wagers on board this week include The NFL Wildcard Game., NCAA Football Bowl Games, NBA and NCAA Basketball, NHL Hockey and Horse Racing.
• Futures Bets on the board include: 2020 Super Bowl, 2020 NCAA College Basketball, 2020 NBA Championship, 2020 Stanley Cup, 2020 World Series and 2020 NASCAR Championship.
• Football Extras:
• $2 Coors Light draft at the Casino Bar or in the Cabaret Lounge during all televised NFL Playoff Games and College Bowl Games.
• Bar Snacks Delivered to Your Seat while you watch or play. Get the full menu and pricing at this link!

Free Entertainment in the Cabaret Lounge

Arizona Jones Thursday thru Saturday: In a scene so often dominated by technology and gimmicks, Reno’s Arizona Jones prefers to do it the old fashioned way – live and personal. When they put their rockin’ spin on classic R& B hits from the 60’s and 70’s, you never know who’ll be singing louder, the audience or the band. They play the hits from Aerosmith and Amy Winehouse to Wilson Pickett and ZZ Top . . . and many artists in between. Bring your dancin’ shoes!
