By “Lil” Bill, Party Pit Master

Everyone around here calls me “Lil” Bill (my dad is also named Bill and he works here at Barona too) and if you’ve been to Barona Casino recently on a Friday night, you’ve probably seen me in the middle of Barona’s Party Pit action on the microphone giving away prizes, spinning upbeat music and pumping up the dealers and players.

For those of you not familiar with the Party Pit, it’s the place to be to win great prizes, have a great time and play your favorite table games. We have different themes each week ranging from pajama night to preppy to 70s disco night. You’ll find all the Party Pit staff dressed up in costumes that play up the theme.  Our players are also encouraged to dress up in costumes and may be rewarded with $25 in myfreeplay coupons if they do. If you sign up for Club Barona while visiting the Party Pit we’ll give you an additional $20 in myfreeplay. In case you missed our popular video about the Party Pit on YouTube, you can click on the screen below to view it.

I’ve worked at Barona Casino for nearly 16 years and being master of the Party Pit is one of my favorite jobs so far. One of the things I like best is the energy that is generated by the players and dealers. The Party Pit crowd is young, attractive and looking to have a good time. All night long we play great music and giveaway lucky charms, promo chips and free bets.

I have the lucky assignment to randomly select players to spin our prize wheel and give away up to $100 in myfreeplay. The best part is each of the winner’s fellow tablemates receive the same prize amount…so it creates a friendly and fun atmosphere at the Party Pit. We also have hilarious contests for our players to participate in such as who can eat ice cream or hot dogs the fastest on any given night. It’s just another fun way to give our players more chances to win.

And, I’ll let you in on a little secret. While you’re in the Party Pit, bring your mobile phone and follow us on Twitter @BaronaCasino to get the Party Pit Password, an exclusive passcode. Share the code with the dealers and you will have an opportunity to win double the amount on the prize wheel! Throughout the night, we also randomly select winners that reply to live stream Party Pit contests on Facebook.

I hope you’ll stop by and say “hi” at Party Pit. Here’s a list of the upcoming Party Pit themes:

  • 8/6 – Pajama Jammy Jam
  • 8/13 – Rave
  • 8/20 – Rat Pack Vegas
  • 8/27 – Endless Summer

We’re always looking for new ideas to keep it fresh and exciting, so if you have any suggestions, please let us know!

In an effort to encourage students to create a sustainable future, the Barona Band of Mission Indians is now accepting applications for its Barona Sustainable Environment Scholarship.

For the second consecutive year, college students with a passion for the environment and who are pursuing careers in environmental industries can apply for Barona’s scholarship for assistance with college expenses. The funds can be used for tuition, books and living expenses.

Councilwoman Glasco, Scott Goodman and finalist

Last year, the scholarship committee selected Scott Goodman as the recipient. He’s a graduate of UCSD and is pursuing a Master of Landscape Architecture at Cal Poly Pomona. He shared with us that the scholarship selection committee seemed to have been deeply honored to present the award to him as well as the three finalists and they also had an immense pride in the culture of sustainability.  And, the scholarship really helped him with his studies.

This year’s application deadline is July 15 (applications must be postmarked by July 15) and the winners will be announced on August 1, 2010.   The application and more information is available at www.barona.com/about/community-relations.

Send your completed applications to:

Barona Resort & Casino
c/o Barona Sustainable Environment Scholarship Program
Scholarship Selection Committee
1932 Wildcat Canyon Road
Lakeside, CA 92040

The scholarship is part of the Barona Valley Environmental Sustainability Program on the reservation and at Barona Resort & Casino. The program includes a state-of-the-art water reclamation plant, water recovery program, landscaping and wildlife preservation, golf course turf reduction, resort conservation programs – carpooling, recycling and energy efficient practices – and community outreach to increase awareness of eco-friendly events and awards. Additionally, both the Barona Band of Mission Indians’ Tribal Government building and the hotel at Barona Resort & Casino  have achieved the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) certification for the design and operation of high performance green buildings.

We look forward to seeing those applications come in!
