A local casino is helping those less fortunate this holiday season. 

Mountaineer Casino Racetrack and Resort’s Poker Room presented over 500 toys donated by patrons to the Tri-State Marine Corps Club for the Toys for Tots program. 

Participants in the ladies only Thanks Giving Poker Tournament were asked to donate brand new toys for less fortunate children in the area.

Each November, Mountaineer hosts the tournament to collect toys for the holiday season. 

Toys for Tots provides those toys to children who would otherwise have a dismal Christmas.
