Did you know that running a casino is our single biggest income source outside of restricted grant funding?

Our casino funds support a number of things, including community engagement initiatives such as programs, events, and various community projects such as community beautification. Funds also support ongoing operational costs and improvements of the facilities.

Volunteering for the casino is easy and fun with training and support provided during your shift. Volunteers are provided with a free meal during their shift and a discount code for RCA programs, events, and memberships.
