Tidbit Tuesdays in New England Gambling

Today includes random coverage of New England Casinos.  Some additional bits on Mohegan Sun since we missed "Sun" Sunday.  Here goes:

MOHEGAN SUN

Here's what I think is a hysterical promotion
SURVIVOR DAY T-SHIRT GIVEAWAY! - SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22ND
Starting at 9:00am, the first 1,000 Player's Club members who visit the Summer Coat Check located in Casino of the Earth will receive a FREE "SURVIVOR DAY" T-SHIRT!
I think that only those who truly believe the world is not going to end should be in line for this shirt, because otherwise it would be rather hypocritical.

Gambling quiz question 1) What is the difference between American Roulette and European Roulette?" 

FOREVER YOUNG MONDAYS for 60 or over patrons. It's time to cut loose!
Every Monday, January 7th - February 25th, the Sun offers promotions including Dining Specials, Friends & Family free slot play specials, Entertainment & Shopping Offers, as well as Bus Packages.  See website for details.

Answer to Question 1) - American =  zero & double zero, European = just zero
Gambling Question 2) - What is the "Dead Man's Hand?"
