Craigendarroch Hotel Casino Night
Guests of the Hilton Craigendarroch Hotel were treated to a night of Evening Entertainment with a fun-filled and highly exciting Casino Night to mark the beginning of the Easter holiday break.
Would-be high rollers began to trickle through the doors in the early evening, and were met with two luxury Casino Tables - Blackjack and Roulette - and of course our professional (and very crafty) croupiers for the Casino Night. Fun-money was given out to those who wished to have a punt on the tables, with the pleasure of unlimited re-buys should Lady-Luck evade anybody in the early stages.
Within moments the room was brimming with guests, all desperate to try their hand at making a fortune. Gamblers young and old joined the Casino Night, which saw stacks of chips rise and fall quicker than you could shout 'Blackjack!' Matthew took an early lead over at the Blackjack table, turning his initial £20 into £220 in just a matter of minutes. It was a shame he decided to listen to his mate though, as they quickly went and blew it all on the Wheel of Steel - Roulette. Such is the life of a gambler!
Though many were winning money left, right and centre throughout the Casino Night, there were those guests that ensured the banker stayed in business, none more so the Karen. Not only did she have more rebuys than anybody else throughout the night of Evening Entertainment, she also lost all her money faster than everbody else...put together. Though her performance was poor, her spirits were always high, and provided much laughter throughout the Casino Night.
As the Casino Night entered its final stages, banker Steve-o was overrun with guests asking for one more rebuy to turn their fortunes around. Big money was going down everywhere, as gamblers bid to be named Champ. There could only be one though, and that one was big Mark, who turned his stake into an incredible £450 throughout the evening.
Mark stepped up to the sounds of rapturous applause as the Casino Night Champion collected the Team Challenge Company Winners Trophy and a bottle of the hotel's finest for his victory. The Casino Night had been a huge success, and was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. Look out for more Evening Entertainment coming to Hilton Craigendarroch in the near future.
