Slots O Fun Las Vegas
Slots-A-Fun Casino is a casino on the Las Vegas Strip. It is owned and operated by Phil Ruffin. It is adjacent to Circus Circus Las Vegas.
Slots-A-Fun is one of the smallest casinos operating on the Strip, and once offered some of the lowest table-game betting minimums on the famed street. As of 2008, players could wager as little as $2 at craps and $1 at blackjack. The craps table was directly located at the main open-air entrance and, of all gaming tables in Las Vegas, was the gaming table that located closest to the traffic of the Strip.
The casino no longer hosts live table games. As of 2011, the only games were slots and electronic table games. There is a bar, a Subway restaurant, a gift shop, a mini-bowling alley, and an area with bar games, such as pool and shuffleboard.
History[edit]
Slots-A-Fun was opened in August 1971 by Jay Sarno, owner of the Circus Circus.[1][2]
In 1974, management of the casino was assumed by Ross W. Miller, a former Circus Circus executive (and father of eventual Nevada governor Bob Miller).[3][4][5] Miller was reported to be leasing the premises from the Teamsters Union,[3] which had provided some of the financing to develop Circus Circus.[6] The move came at about the same time that Sarno, having been implicated in a bribery scandal, handed operations of Circus Circus over to Bill Bennett and Bill Pennington.[6]
In 1975, gaming executive Carl Thomas bought into the casino as an equal partner with Miller, who died later that year.[4][5][7] In 1979, however, Thomas was exposed as being involved in casino skimming operations on behalf of the Kansas City mob. Two FBI informants claimed that the mob owned a secret interest in Slots-A-Fun through Allen Dorfman, though that claim was never substantiated.[8] Thomas's gaming licenses were revoked, and he was forced to sell his casino interests.[9] Miller's estate and Thomas sold Slots-A-Fun to Bennett and Pennington's company, Circus Circus Hotels, Inc. (later known as Circus Circus Enterprises and then Mandalay Resort Group).[10][11][12]
For many early years Slots-A-Fun was famous for giving out free bags of fresh-popped popcorn for early morning gamblers but these promotions have been discontinued.
Merger with Circus Circus[edit]
A blog reported that on July 1, 2009, Slots-A-Fun would begin the re-branding process in order to be incorporated into Circus Circus Las Vegas.[13]
