Homecoming festivities continued Tuesday Oct. 31 in the Baby Dome with Casinoween Night. The event featured a haunted house as well as a mini casino and drew a sizable crowd of spectators, all anxious to test their luck at the casino.Students were given a $5,000 coupon, which they were able to cash in for tokens to gamble at various tables. Participants placed bets at slot machines, black jack tables, roulette tables, and crap tables. Professional dealers aided students and advised them of the proper rules and techniques for the games.
Freshman Jerica Glasper said, “I had a lot of fun gambling; I got a good feeling of what it feels like to go to a real casino. This has been my favorite event of Homecoming so far.”
At the end of the night, scores were tallied and money was counted, the person who had acquired the most winnings received several prizes including PV paraphernalia, and Homecoming event tickets.
The baby dome was decorated with spider webs, smoke, and a host of other spooky decorations. The house featured a haunted classroom, a crime scene, and the entry to the gates of hell.
Junior Brooklyn Donavan said, “My favorite part of the event was the haunted house, it was actually scary. It was decorated good, and you could tell there was a lot of time and effort put into it.
