If you’ve played Bunco before or think it’s a funny name for liar’s poker, you’re in for a treat either way. It’s a game of luck, team-building, a chance to meet new people, a fun and exciting way to get lucky and make some green, and it’s just plain crazy fun! I joined in the fun last year, and our table won $100 each! Plus I met some really fun people, enjoyed several cold drinks, and was thoroughly entertained.
The CasaBlanca Resort Casino, Mesquite’s premier resort, is hosting another Bunco tournament Oct. 31 for anyone who wants to learn or already knows how to play. After reading a short paragraph on “How to play Bunco,” I’m convinced it’s a game of luck that’s similar to Bingo but more interactive because you get to roll three dice, win or lose with each roll, and eventually score the most points as a team or individual. What’s better than that? Win one for the team, plus win one for yourself, too!
CasaBlanca’s last tournament was just last year. Due to popular demand, it’s back and more lucrative than ever! They tell me that people travel hundreds of miles to stay and play in this event. Locals and visitors can book a room, enjoy a delicious buffet, party ‘til the sun comes up, gamble, and play in the Bunco tournament for as little as $99 per person. If you just want to play, it’s only $79 and includes the buffet. During this four-hour event, participants will be drawn randomly for prizes ranging from two-night stays, free golf, dinner for two, show tickets, and much more. Plus if your team wins the overall winner spot, each player will once again win $100 cash, $50 for the most individual mini-Buncos on your team, and $40 for the most Bunco wins. Total prize money is up to a whopping $5,000! That’s no bunk!
Men and women over 21 are invited to play. Come as a full team of 12, as a couple, or as an individual to fill a team. Because this is on Halloween, they’re offering an additional cash prize to the team who knocks their socks off with the best costumes. To register or book your reservation, go to casablancaresort.com (click “special events” then “Bunco”), or call (888)711-4653 ext. 6889.
You must register to play. Registration starts at noon day of the tournament, and the tournament begins at 1 p.m. Want to brush up on how to play? Go to casablancaresort.com/bunco.
