ULM’s Campus Activities Board successfully hosted their annual Casino Night event in the SUB ballroom Tuesday. “Totally ‘80s”’ was the theme; accordingly, the ballroom was decorated with throwback posters and other retro memorabilia.

Students and faculty walked down the red carpet dressed to impress in their favorite ‘80s clothing that included bandanas, sleeveless shirts and wacky colored accessories.

Most partygoers seemed to be enjoying themselves as the sounds of slot machines and classic hits from the era, such as Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and Rick James’ “Super Freak,” filled the ballroom.

Assistant Dean of Student Life and Leadership, Nathan Hall, stated, “This year’s casino night was a great success and one of my favorite events because I can interact with students and have a good time.”

Everyone who attended could help themselves to refreshments and play casino games. Also, students could test their luck against the house — CAB and faculty members — in order to win fake money, which could be exchanged for raffle tickets.

There was a separate drawing for seven door prizes. The winners and the prizes they won were: Trevor Jones, DVD sound system; Brittany Treadway, TV; Letha Gaigher, printer; Madison Slaughter, NOOK; Rokera Ball, $200 Target gift card; Marla Seyfarth, Beats by Dr. Dre headphones; Kelsey Stephens, camera.

Stephens, winner of the camera, exclaimed, “Wow! I am so glad to have finally won something. I’ll definitely be going back to Casino Night next year.”

Hall said, “Students had an opportunity to interact with faculty and staff as well as fellow CAB members. More people dressed up for the theme than ever before. The students had an absolute blast.”
