Jackpot! Get lucky in Atlantic City. This trip is virtually free!

Try your luck at the casinos with the RAA Young Alumni Committee on a bus trip to Atlantic City Saturday, October 9. Cost is $20 with paid membership ($25 for non-members). The best part of it all is that you get your money back!

Young alumni receive $15 at Trump Plaza to gamble and get an additional $5 towards dinner with a Trump Card.

The bus leaves the parking lot at 3 p.m. behind the College Avenue Gym and returns at Midnight. Russian Roulette, slot machines, Blackjack 21 may be calling your name. But wait. Not a gambler? See a show! Have dinner at the Hard Rock Café, visit the amusement park, walk the beach or shop along the boardwalk with friends. If you don’t hit it big in the casino, don’t worry! Contests and prizes will keep the bus ride rolling!
Russian Roulette? No thanks, I think I'll pass.

One of the wacky contests on the bus is that game where you put your hand down, spread your fingers and a guy sees who fast he can stick a knife between your fingers.

Just a note to whoever wrote this:

Roulette is a game where a wheel spins and a little
white ball lands on either black or red painted areas.


'Russian' Roulette is a game where two people take
turns firing a revolver which only has 1 bullet (and 5
empty chambers) against the side of their head. The
game ends when someone dies. Unless this trip is to a
casino that isn't exactly on the map, I dont think
Russian Roulette was what the author meant.
and the reply


I apologize for the error, it was an editing oversight. As you have
stated, casinos do NOT offer Russian roulette, and we do not encourage
any such activities.

Thank you for pointing this out to us.

Most sincerely,

Mike
The seriousness of the reply made me laugh out loud.

It was a battle of dry wit.

The best kind of battle.

Sort of like a male black widow, no?
