The casino is also giving away a Porsche every Tuesday in January for Players Club members. Cash drawings are awarded hourly from 4-8 p.m., with grand prize drawings at 9 p.m.
The grand prize drawing, $75,000, in the "There's Money in the Music" game is Jan. 26. On Jan. 27, there will be $5,000 drawings at 10 a.m, noon, 4 p.m., 8 p.m. and 10 p.m.
NICK SORTAL began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr. Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood Hold 'Em game in Plantation. I have been given the assignment of writing about the gambling life in South Florida casinos for the Sun-Sentinel...which means sitting around watching poker on TV now counts as research.
