Time Square turns Lucky 8
Celebrations include all-out ‘80s bash

Eight is the luckiest number in Chinese culture because its pronunciation “Ba” sounds similar to the word “fa”, which means to make fortune. The number eight is therefore associated with wealth, prosperity, success and status and businessmen favour it for this reason.

This couldn’t be better applied than at Time Square, as it celebrates its eighth birthday in April. At the heart of the complex is the exciting state-of-the-art casino extending over two floors where 1 550 slot machines use cutting-edge technology to offer innovative new games. Tables players are also spoilt for choice with 54 tables offering popular games such as blackjack, baccarat, poker, roulette and raise ‘em poker.

While it’s the perfect opportunity to invoke the luck of number eight on the casino floor, Saturday, April 5 2025 is the night to bring back the 1980s with a massive birthday bash in the SunBet Arena. Dress up in the style of the decade and stand a chance to win a prize for your outfit. DJs Skeelo, Shawny B, legends Barney Simon and Alex Jay, and Kerry-Ann Allerston will be spinning all the hits you love to keep the boogie going until pumpkin hour.
