Have you ever hustled your friends and family out of money in a game of UNO? Well, now is your chance to take your talents to a bigger stage after Mattel, the company that makes the famed card game, announced it’s headed for casinos across Las Vegas and the country.

“We created UNO Social Clubs to reimagine what game night can be—bringing people together for real-world fun, connection, and a bit of friendly competition,” Mattel vice president and global head of games Ray Adler said in a statement. “The UNO Social Club in Las Vegas is just the beginning, and we’re excited to see how these new experiences inspire players to show up, play hard, and make unforgettable memories.”

New UNO Games Set To Open At Legendary Palms Casino Resort In  Las Vegas

The first UNO Social Club is set to open next weekend at the iconic Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. But what exactly does UNO in a casino setting look like? The company announced that UNO Social Clubs will feature the following games:

• “UNO Golf™: Match cards by colors and numbers, but your cards are laid out as you try to get rid of high cards and keep lower value cards. Strategically clear columns to eliminate cards but beware of cards that can raise your score. The player with the lowest score wins!”
• “UNO Teams™: Players still match color, number and symbol but instead of every-man-for-himself, they team up in pairs of two and play together to win. Special cards and rules help teammates work together, but both players must get rid of all the cards in their hands to win.”
• “UNO Show ’em No Mercy™: This game has a ton more cards with WAY tougher penalties and new rules that will have players stacking, swapping and drawing more cards than ever before! There are two ways to win in this merciless version of the classic game: get rid of all cards OR knock all other players out of the game.”

Mattel announced that it intends to expand the program into casinos and bars across the country later this year. The brand says that it hopes to turn “casual game nights into full-blown entertainment events.” So the next time you hit that cousin you hate with consecutive draw fours, just think about all the money you could be making doing it to somebody else.
