Sands gives away money

ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey – As reported by the Press of Atlantic City: "The Sands Casino Hotel will be giving money away on its final night of business. Really, it will.

"Lucky gamblers will be showered with more than $200,000 in free cash Friday from progressive slot machines that have not yet paid off their jackpots. The Sands has to dispose of the 'unhit' jackpots before the casino closes its doors for good Saturday.

"The cash giveaway will be held every half hour between 4 and 8 p.m. Friday, meaning eight people will be chosen as winners. To be eligible, gamblers must insert their Sands player card in any slot machine at least 15 minutes prior to the sweepstakes drawings. A computer will randomly select the winners.

"…The Sands, the city's smallest casino, is being shut down to make way for development of a $1.5 billion megaresort by its new owner, Pinnacle Enter-tainment Inc. of Las Vegas…"
