Since 1996, Tropicana Evansville has celebrated the spirit of the holiday season by hosting charity slot and blackjack tournaments in the month of December. These tournaments are unique in that players’ entry fees are either a new toy valued at $10 or more, or $10 or more in cash. The generosity of Tropicana Evansville’s players is exhibited through the many toys collected and money donated.  This year’s tournaments will be held Thursday, December 1 through Sunday, December 4.
All proceeds benefit two area organizations, Salvation Army’s Toy Town and Santa Clothes Club. Tropicana Evansville has a 20-year history with both organizations and has donated more than 20,699 toys ($206,990 value) and $41,110 to assist them in their efforts over the years.
