Casino Night – Truckers Flip the Script on Jackpot Justice
Friday, August 1, 2025 | 8:00 PM – 11:00 PM
TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT!

Step away from the courtroom and into the card room as truckers take the tables and turn the odds. At Casino Night, we’re dealing out fun—not frivolous lawsuits.

Enjoy an evening of high-rolling entertainment, light fare, and spirited competition, all in a setting where the only thing inflated is the jackpot, not the verdict. Whether you're doubling down or just along for the ride, this extra-ticketed event is your chance to beat the house—and take a swing at Louisiana’s lawsuit culture.

Join the fight against “jackpot justice” with a night of fun, flair, and freight-powered fortune.
With one call, you can do it right, and get it done with LMTA!
