IHC's Casino Night

The St. Olaf InterHall Council held the 2nd Annual "Casino Night" on Friday, January 22, 2010. InterHall Council (IHC) is a representative group of the campus's hall councils. Each Hall Council President is on IHC and meets weekly to discuss hall council and residence hall issues as well as plan campus-wide events.

Over 550 Oles attended the free Casino Night event. Students "gambled" with chips they received at the door - the more chips they won, the more raffle tickets they could get. Prizes were raffled off during the evening... great items like iPod shuffles, Snuggies, residence hall room accessories and even a 26" Vizio HD television!

Faculty, staff and some students served as dealers. Here's Kevin Rusk from Admissions intensely dealing a hand of blackjack:

The event started at 7:30 p.m. and by 8:00 p.m. the ballrooms were getting full...
In addition to poker and blackjack, students could choose to play "less risky" games like Bingo and Super Smash Brothers...
Students exchange chips for raffle tickets...
The event was a HUGE success. IHC and the hall councils did a great job planning and organizing this event. Two years in a row with a great turn-out... next year should be even better!
