With its own language, recipes and traditions, football is an American way of life. Whichever team you root for—who am I kidding? Go ‘Hawks!—autumn’s mercurial weather is no match for dedicated pigskin fans nation-wide. But if damp, chilly Washington days wear you down, head to Little Creek Casino Resort in Shelton for games, specials and prizes galore. You’ll warm up, dry off and revel in the camaraderie of Seahawks blue and green.
From September 4 through December 31, it’s Home Team Hoopla on the Poker Room floor. Each full house hand or better earns players a square on the master football board. Cash payouts each quarter are doubled when playing live poker. During Seahawks games, entries can be earned for hourly poker room play. These are good for team merchandise and 12th Man spirit gear galore.
Prefer your prizes in cash? The Pigskin Pick Payout lets you make picks during the week from 8:00 a.m. Monday through 5:00 a.m. Saturday. Promotions coordinator Jennifer Brines is excited for this year’s ongoing event. “For football picks, top weekly prize is $250 cash. Overall season high prize is $5,000 cash. Win even if you lose—last place person wins cash too!”

Whether you play tackle, touch or flag, on the field or armchair quarterback, all this excitement works up an appetite. Head to the Starlight Lounge for a “Beer, Brat, and a Shot” during professional football games. At only $8.99 including a keepsake shot glass. You’ll recharge in no time. “All NFL games are aired in the Lounge also,” says Brines, “Thursday too, followed by a live DJ until 1:00 a.m.”

The National Football League estimates nearly 22 million people watched the 2017 regular season opener. Football is in our blood and passed down through generations of get-togethers, tail-gate parties, and fantasy league play. It keeps us active and animated all winter long, and is a great reason to throw parties for friends and family.
Never miss a game, thanks to Little Creek’s shared love of football. And what’s better than showing that love surrounded by friends, family, and like-minded strangers…especially when you don’t have to cook or clean beforehand?
Little Creek Casino Resort is open seven days a week and located at 91 West State Route 108 in Shelton.
