The stakes have well and truly been raised for a simple game of Uno.
The popular family game played by people as young as seven will make its controversial debut in Sin City on Friday in a wild shift from the dining table to the dealer’s circle.
Game owners Mattel have given the green light to a “Uno Social Club” above the gaming floors at The Palms Casino in Las Vegas off the Nevada strip, with plans to expand to more gambling locations.
Slamming down the cards in frustration after copping a draw four won’t exactly be the classiest move at the decked out venue, with players treated to dedicated game hosts shuffling the decks — ensuring no cheating.
The room will also feature a private bowling alley, pool table and plush lounges.
Different variations of the classic game will be on offer on different tables from July 18-20 and there’ll be no children in sight at the exclusive event, with only participants over 21 allowed.
But there’s a catch.
Guests wanting to gamble on the games, despite the venue, won’t be allowed.
The decision is part of Mattel’s main objective to provide an “elevated social experience” at casinos instead of real money games.
