On Friday, August 28, 2015, the Stockton Entertainment Team offered a casino night event from 9:00 to 11:00. Freshmen could use this event as an opportunity to interact with other students and begin to make Stockton feel like their home. After swiping in and receiving a friendly welcome, students were given a package of $50,000 in play money. There were approximately a dozen casino games throughout the large I-Wing Gym. All games were open for students to play and had supportive SET staff to teach newcomers the game as well as the run the game. Students exchanged their play money for chips to use on the tables and played the games. After playing any games she was interested in, they were encouraged to trade in her chips for raffle tickets. Using the raffle tickets students could select to be entered into raffle to win a huge variety of prizes. Approximately twenty prizes were available, ranging from cleaning supplies to chairs to Beats headphones to a television. The raffles began around 9:30 and five winners were drawn every fifteen minutes. The smallest prizes were raffled off first as the system slowly worked to larger prizes and ending with the largest prizes. Students were very eager to participate and try their luck in the raffles. Nearly one hundred students stayed until the end of the event. Free food and drinks were also available and plentiful throughout the night. Students could enjoy the buffet style serving of snacks including bags of chips, soft cookies, water, iced tea, and lemonade. Several tables off to the side were also available for students who wished to take a break to eat and visit with new friends. If all of this was not enough excitement for the new students, there were also two large movie screens set up displaying popular music videos to match the music being played be the disc jockey. The music could be heard easily from all areas of the room and played continually throughout the night, taking only short breaks for instructions to SET staff and raffle ticket numbers to be announced. This set up also included a spectacular light display around the room. I had a wonderful night and gained skills such as how to play blackjack. I also meet some students that are in my classes, which greatly eased my anxieties about my first day. I would highly recommend this event to any new student for the great learning opportunities offered as well as for the social opportunities provided.
