In anticipation of the Grand Opening of the Yellow Brick Road Casino, the Oneida Indian Nation has revealed the lineup of events planned for the big day. The new casino is located in Chittenango, New York and will be opening early next week for the very first time.

Both the general public and the media are invited to attend the opening ceremonies with a day of events scheduled. Beginning at 10am the Grand Opening ceremony will take place with leaders of the community, dignitaries and special guests on hand. At 10:30am, the casino will host an ‘Emerald Curtain’ reveal for the new gaming venue which features an Oz-theme. The first guests of the venue will walk along the yellow brick road to enter the casino.

The casino will feature 430 slot machines, all in Vegas-style, as well as a bingo hall, restaurants and bars. At 11am, the casino will see a lucky guest participate in the Cyclone of Cash, which is a custom-made tornado simulator. The participant will take part in a cash grab along with other prizes. By 2:30pm, the first-ever gaming session will take place in the Wizard Hall for the Oneida Nation High-Stakes Bingo game and will feature Ray Halbritter, a representative of the tribe as well as Nation Enterprises CEO calling the game.

Many more promotions and special events will be on the schedule as the day continues. Themed events will center on the overall casino theme of Oz.
