Whether it was blackjack or roulette, craps or poker, there was plenty of ‘money’ to be made Saturday night.

Drinks flowed and shouts of joy and pain echoed across the Marathon City Council chambers as the Business and Professional Women of Marathon hosted their ever-popular 2024 Keysino night on Feb. 17. With professional gaming tables and dealers provided by Casino Party Nights Florida, along with heavy hors d’oeuvres from Brutus Seafood, gamblers tested their luck all evening in the hopes of ending the night with a large stack of chips, giving them a shot at one of dozens of raffle prizes donated for the event.
