COACHELLA, California — (PRESS RELEASE) — Spotlight 29 Casino kicks off the month of September starting with a car giveaway Labor Day weekend! The last three finalists for the exciting “August Acceleration” promotion will be chosen on September 4th.

Police say a man who hit it big at a Southern California casino was robbed and killed after apparently being followed from the gambling hall.

A man who had won thousands of dollars at a Hawaiian Gardens casino early today apparently was followed to Santa Ana by two people, one of whom assaulted and robbed him and the other fatally struck him with a car as the criminals fled, authorities said.

At the same time when lawmakers are attempting to make the laws stronger to stop gamblers from leaving children in the car while they gamble, a grandfather became the seventh guardian to do so this summer at the Parx Casino.
