CAB’s annual casino night event saw its highest attendance number ever. The event was canceled last year because of COVID-19, but this year it was back with a vengeance.

The swing band warmed up as casino table dealers prepared their tables ahead of the event.

CAB raffled off over $5,000 in prizes ranging from a KitchenAid mixer to a Nintendo Switch to Browns tickets.

Students who dressed in the 1920s theme of the event received an extra $50 to use for gambling.

In the Plaza, event attendees could find mocktails and cotton candy “glitter bombs” that dissolved in the drinks.

Event attendees could play casino games like Blackjack, Texas Hold ‘Em and more on the first and third floors of the Student Center.

On his first day, Dr. Flapp Cockrell, CSU’s new Vice President for Campus Engagement, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, stopped by the event and grabbed a mocktail.

Fitting with the 1920s theme, students wore flapper dresses, feathers, or simply fancy outfits.

Abiding by CSU’s policy, the event required all students to wear masks while inside the Student Center.

The swing band played throughout both sessions of the event.
The Campus Activities Board welcomed nearly a thousand students into the Student Center-turned-casino on September 24.
“After a year of virtual events, it was great to see an amazing turnout at CABsino with 992 attendees between the two sessions,” said event planner Carley Barnett.
CABsino is an annual casino event where students receive fake money to gamble with to earn tickets that they enter for chances to win one of over $5,000-worth in prizes.
Each year has a specific theme, and this year’s was titled “It’s a Roaring Good Time,” highlighting an art deco, 1920’s-era style.
