NEXT WEDNESDAY, get ready to win ... or only lose quarters ... and socialize!

HOW DOES IT WORK?
You pay by the game, 25 cents with some games being 1.00 a 10 round game will cost approximately $6.25. They will have specials for purchase, which will payout a bigger prize. The payout on 25 cent games will range from $6-$10 (not a bad return on 25 cents). $1.00 games will pay somewhere from $15-$20, all depending on the number of players. We would play TWO rounds.
SO bring your quarters and lets have some FUN!!!!

You can bring your own drink and snack or buy from concessions there. THIS IS 18 YEARS OF AGE & UP ...

RSVP to Letitia, so they can SAVE a section for US
