Tickets for the “King of Diamonds Casino night” are $125 and includes parking at Margaritaville Beach Resort, $2,000 in play money and appetizers.

The gaming events will run from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., with a DJ playing music from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. There will be raffle prizes, a 50/50 Drawing, door prizes, a raffle basket for gaming tickets, gift baskets, a Blackstone Grill and other giveaways.

This year’s Casino Night is being sponsored by Alex King and the King Family foundation, Margaritaville Beach Resort, Sanibel Captiva Bank, and Gavin’s Ace Hardware.
