Admission

Admission is $10 and light concessions will be available for purchase. There is FREE admission for enlisted military or veterans.

Uno Tournament

Can you discard with the best of them? Do you leave your competition drawing until they weep? Are you ready to skip, reverse, and wild your way to  UNO champ? Compete in the UNO tournament!

How does our tournament work? 6 Tables of up to six players will compete. The winner of each table will advance to the  playoff. The winner of the playoff will then be entered into the finals that will be played after all rounds (approximately 6) have been played.

Entry fee to play is $5 per round of play. Final winner of each round will advance to the Finals with the  winner being crowned UNO champion Cash prizes will be awarded.

A round includes 6 tables with up to 6 people playing at one time. This will lead to 6 table winners who will advance to the playoffs. These 6 will play until there is one winner, with cash prizes to win and advancement to the finals. This will be repeated for all 6 rounds, leading to 6 players in the Finals.
