Christmas Casino Games

This year, winning will make cents! The winner will be the player who has the biggest pot of winnings. Each player will receive their initial pot of coins to gamble. Coins can be won by gambling, as prizes for events, and at the hosts discretion! Yes, we will be handing out bonus coins for seeing the Christmas Spirit in action!!
