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.
- 1History
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]

More About Caesars Casino Online

Slots O Fun Las Vegas
It’s important to understand that Caesars Casino is a Casino-like game, but it is not actual gambling. The coins you earn are all for entertainment purposes only and cannot be cashed out for real money. The coins that you purchase are meant to increase your playtime and status within the game.
This product is intended for use by those 21 or older for amusement purposes only. Practice or success at social casino gaming does not imply future success at real money gambling.
All the games in Caesars Casino are designed to play in the same way regardless of who is playing it. This is done by using a Random Number Generator (RNG) to make sure all the spins that take place are indeed random. With this generator in place, it’s impossible to know what’s going to happen and which symbols are going to land on the reels. Each game has a great element of chance (randomness). This random element from the games is the same for you as well as our other players. By its very nature, the random element grants better luck to some, but not to others at any given time. The random element does not distinguish between you and other players.
