WINSTON-SALEM, NC — Nothing beats the heart pounding excitement of casino action. The Captain's Club was very aware of this excitement when they decided to bring a casino into the entertainment sector of the Carl Spackler Open. The club accelerated the entertainment value along with providing additional services to the tournament atmosphere with the Spackler Casino.

"This type of exciting activity for our next tournament is why the group continues to grow", said Tommy McCauley of Vice President of Golf Instruction. "We plan to bring a ton of excitement and fun to the group off the golf course and immediately contribute back to the group."

The Captains Club plans to have the two major casino table games: Blackjack and Roulette.

BlackJack is the most popular casino table game in America. The game dates back to our frontier days. The object is to get as close to 21 without "busting" or going over, and still beat the dealer's total.

In Roulette you place bets on numbers, combinations of numbers, or colors on a grid like layout. A small ball is spun on a wheel with 38 numbers. The ball eventually drops in to a slot, selecting a number and color. Roulette is very popular in Europe and has continued to be a staple in American casinos.

The Carl Spackler Open is scheduled to begin in 64 days.  The field of 48 players has begun to hit balls in anticipation.
