Blackrock Casino rings in Chinese New Year with joviality

Blackrock Casino pulled out all the stops to give its Chinese customers a New Year’s celebration to remember on Saturday the 5th of February.

The celebrations started at the casino’s entrance with much joviality. Lion dancers, traditional Chinese dancers, diabolo and mini-fireworks displays created an awesome spectacle and gave everyone visiting the casino a glimpse and a taste of the fanfare and vibrancy that marks the start of the new Chinese year - the year of the rabbit.

After the colourful display, the invited guests, who included amongst others, the MEC for Health, Dr Sibongiseni Dlomo and the Mayor of Newcastle, Afzal Rehman, moved to a special marquee where they were treated to a sumptuous buffet dinner . Lucky draws took place throughout the event, with great prizes such as home appliances given away.

“We have a number of loyal Chinese customers  so it is fitting that Blackrock Casino held a special celebration to mark the New Year. The event was a glorious and festive success and we thank everyone who played a role in making it so memorable.
“Blackrock Casino wishes all of its Chinese customers a happy, healthy and prosperous New year,” says John McGregor, General Manager at Blackrock Casino & Entertainment complex.
