Kevin Tuohy of Antioch was one of a few hundred “friends and family” of people affiliated with The Temporary by American Place who got to gamble Tuesday as part of two play dates ahead of the casino’s opening Friday.
“I played Paigow and won $100,” Tuohy said, referring to one of three types of poker games played against the house. “Then I went to the slots and lost $100. It was a lot of fun.”
Edgar Lupian of Waukegan was feeling very good as he ate dinner with Waukegan resident Rigo Gutierrez at the one of the casino’s three restaurants, and the only one serving Tuesday. He just left the roulette table.
