$6,250 Guaranteed Friday, another $5,116 Sunday plus Much More at the Carson Valley Inn

Kim and Julie at Odds Over Sunday's Game
Super Sunday: Differences to be Settled
$5,116 Progressive Jackpot Guaranteed
  • Kim and Julie (pictured above) agree on just about everything. Even after Kim recently transferred to Bodines Casino, they remain great friends, share a lot of interests and do a lot of things together. However, when it comes to football, they couldn't be in a more conflicted position this weekend: Julie is an avid 49er fan with plenty of Niner memorabilia and an excitement for seeing their resurgence culminate in a championship. Kim is a die-hard Chiefs fan and also has a whole bunch of KC garb  to prove it. The three things on which they do agree for this Sunday: they both think it will be a good game, the winning team will definitely have red in their colors and whoever wins, their friendship will survive!
  • The winner(s) of our Pro Pick’em $5,116 Progressive Jackpot will be determined this Sunday!!  The special $5 Pro Pick’em Parlay Card is available now at CVI, Bodines, SlotWorld and Sharkey's. There are 15 prop bets to pick, all related to this Sunday's 49ers – Chiefs game. We’ve made ‘em easy as a half-dozen of the props can end in “ties” which results in both sides of the pick being marked correct! Whoever picks the most wins the Progressive Jackpot! Any ties will be split. Play as many cards as you like – there's no limit! Please, hang on to your tickets. We'll know by Tuesday morning which ticket(s) had the most correct picks. However, we won't know who bought the ticket(s) so it's up to you to come in and claim your prize. We don't have a way of finding you and chasing you down. Good luck!
  • Super Sunday in the Casino: We’ll have the game on the Cabaret Big Screen and on most of the TVs in the Casino, Cabaret Bar, CV Steak Bar and Poker Room. $2 Coors & Coors Light Drafts will be served during the game, Bar Snacks delivered to your seat and Hot Seat Cash Giveaways after the game with the chance to win up to $1,000!
  • Seasonal Wagers on board this week include The Super Bowl, NBA and NCAA Basketball, NHL Hockey, the Daytona 500 on February 16 and Horse Racing.
  • Futures Bets on the board include:The 2020 Masters, 2020 NCAA College Basketball, 2020 NBA Championship, 2020 Stanley Cup, 2020 World Series and 2020 NASCAR Championship.

All the details are at this link and we invite you to leave the kids with mom and visit us for a romantic weekend with your spouse . . . or perhaps your situation is more suited for treating your parents to a special getaway treat.
