A diverse group of students, some wearing costumes like the Scarecrow from Batman and Alice from Alice in Wonderland, piled into the student union Wednesday night as part of CAB’s Thriller week for Casino Knight.
Thriller Week is a new event that UCF created to bring students out for Halloween-themed events. Casino Knight was an evening where students had the opportunity to play casino-themed games like poker. Bingo was also available for those who are less card-savvy.
Kim Gordon, Special Events Director for CAB, elaborated on the night stating, “This event gives students the opportunity to play games, win chips and cash them in for prizes from tickets to Universal and a Nintendo Wii to McDonalds for a year and passes to The Blue Man Group.”
Gordon, a junior and Business Management Major also added that there was a costume contest in which winners won free movie tickets.
The company called “Everything But the Mime” helped put on the event. They provided dealers, tables and chips, transforming the ballroom to a ghoulish and glitzy atmosphere. Events for the rest of Thriller Week include a visit from Ryan Buell of “Paranormal State” as well as the Mr. UCF Pageant.
