American Dream Casino

A WOW Workshop Presentation

WOW presents the next stage of development for American Dream Casino: HRO, a playful, interactive, casino-like experience that celebrates what we gamble, and what we gain (and lose) to achieve the American Dream. Gamblers play with a special casino currency to win prizes, with the ultimate reward being an all-expenses-paid American Dream for themselves and their loved ones.
