Every month residents of Somerset Apartments in Chino get together to play Bunco.
Bunco originally came from an 18th century English dice game called 8-dice cloth. It transported its way to San Francisco in the mid-1800s as a gambling activity where it gave its name to gambling parlors . . . or bunco parlors. Bunco has had its ups and downs over the years since it’s introduction to the United States seeing resurgences shortly after the Civil War, during Prohibition, and again in the 1980’s.
The Somerset residents have been coming to play Bunco together for years and plan to continue playing Bunco together for the foreseeable future. Each month a new person hosts the Bunco event and provides food for everyone. Then, the Bunco game begins. Players roll dice and move from table to table.
Bunco is a lot of fun. The players have a great time which is why they come back every month; some players no longer live in the apartments, but they still come back to play and reconnect with old friends. It’s a great experience and a testament to the great people associated with the Somerset Apartments in Chino.
The people and staff at Somerset Apartments are friendly and the people who live here know they’re at home. Bunco is not the only time residents get together . . . there are BBQ’s, Bingo nights, Movie nights and a variety of other events that bring the people of Somerset Apartments together to build a strong community. Stay tuned for more updates on the Somerset Apartments and the residents who live here.
