With the Holiday season upon us gamblers from the mid west have decided to help needy children have a very merry Christmas and a happy holiday. The Southland Park racetrack and casino have announced they are going to help raise toys for the Toys for Tots, toy drive with what they are calling the "12 Tournaments of Christmas."
The twelve Tournaments started on the first of December and ran thru yesterday the 12th of December at the West Memphis, Arkansas gaming park, with one tournament being played every day. During the 12 days the tournaments consisted of: Poker, Blackjack, handicapping racing and video poker tournaments.
To qualify for a tournament all that you need to do is show up with a toy valued at twenty dollars or more. If you do not have a toy a twenty dollar donation will get you a seat at the game. Each toy will get you in to one tournament per day and all proceeds from the tournaments will be given to the Toys for Tots charity.
The last tournament was played yesterday, but no announcement has yet been made about how much money the Southland Park casino and track managed to raise from their charity gambling tournaments.
