Hello,

I got some pics of the new Big Rock Casino that will be opening this Friday the 15th. The pictures were taken this past Monday.. as you can see, they have a lot of work ahead of them to be ready for Friday. The parking lot is still unpaved.

The slot card and invite to the pre-opening came in the mail today. I had requested it online a few days ago. You might try going to their website and signing up for their slot club. The web address in on the back side of the slot card.(see scans below) I don't know if they will mail the slot cards out-of-state, but it's worth a try.

The casino was named after the "Big Rock" that is in the photo below.

Here are a few scans...

Sorry... no traders on the slot cards. I'll probably pick up a few extras on Friday - will trade for New Mexico roulettes or chips that I don't have.

I'll be making the chip run along with new CCGTCC member Dave Niver from Las Cruces, NM.

If you want chips... here is the link with all the details.

More details and chips scans late Friday or early Saturday.

Best,
