There is an argument among the Competition Council regarding who created the 3 Coin Drop game. Nothing short of the deaths of all but one of the liars claiming to have invented the game will settle the argument, last one alive gets the credit. However, we do know the origin of the game. The song “3 Coins in the Fountain” sung by Frank Sinatra was the inspiration. Back before ATM cards and payout slips, slot machines and convenience stores gave you change in cold, hard, coins. Traditionally members of the Competition Council would toss 3 Coins in various fountains around Las Vegas for good luck, you know like the song lyrics. Sometime in the distant past someone looked over the side of the Excalibur bridge from NYNY/Tropicana and (probably before puking) suggested he/she could land all 3 coins on the rail in the water below. That’s how the game was born, if you want to know who suggested the challenge feel free to ask the Competition Council after the game while enjoying an Espresso Martini.
