Greetings from Las Vegas!  We are now accepting entries for the Age 60 & Over Classic and the Age 50 & Over Classic hosted by Orleans Hotel, Casino & Bowling Center November 25 through December 2.

Although the Senior Classic Brochure doesn’t mention much about the competition schedule on Saturday & Sunday for the 50 & Over Classic, there is a lot going on!  If you are planning on attending, take a minute and review the tournament schedule below.  View the full brochure by clicking here.

There are also a couple of rule changes that you will want to be familiar with that we feel are improved for the 50 & Over.

For any additional info, call us toll free at 1-800-257-6179 or email us at info@high-roller.com.

See you soon in Las Vegas – the Bowling Capital of the World!

Rule Changes

A qualifying rule in the brochure is in error.  Although it states that in the 50 & Over Classic, the 1 in 5 cut is separate for A & B squads, the cuts will be combined, one cut in each age division followed by a separate Re-entry squad cut.  All players who advance from the Re-entry squad, proceed to the Semi-Finals, not to match play as the brochure states.

Also, all Sweepers and Quick Cash Sweepers are $100 entry fee.  Not $125.

New Format – 50 & Over Classic Schedule

Coast Properties Trifecta Prize List -for players that bowled in the July High Roller, TAT & ABT and stayed at the hosting hotels for a minimum of 3 nights.

Players have until Tuesday, September 4 to report and errors and prize checks will be sent then.

From Brad Edelman, President of High Roller, Inc. – For the first time in our 32 years, there will not be a February or July High Roller in 2013.

It’s really very simple, its like High Roller operates 8 stores but we are closing 2 of them for renovations.

Given the current economic condition of the world, the influx of bowling events into Las Vegas and many other factors that we all can name, we have decided that 2 of our 8 events will take a hiatus through the 2013 bowling tournament season.

But we won’t be just sitting around. We will be re-evaluating our format, schedule, entry fees & eligibility all with the goal of bringing back High Roller with a fresh, new and exciting look!

We will continue to run all of our other events:  two True Amateur Tournaments (TAT), two Senior Classics, the August Military Team Tournament and the Military Bowling Championships. So we will still get to see many of our friends and supporters during the year!

In EVERY SINGLE FEBRUARY AND JULY HIGH ROLLER, we have always paid out more than we took in! We have been doing this in Las Vegas since 1982.  Although we have never minded that, we don’t want to promote events nationally that provide small purses – which has been the trend in High Roller and most other competing events.

For 31 years, High Roller has led the world in bowling events and we won’t let you down!
