		Settingstory, heading making the history of a setting The setting of the casino arrived in n°385 : C.C. has given his agreement so that Dylan and Sam transform his given up platform into casino. We attend to the inauguration in n°376 : Dylan called it Nick's Place in homage to his brother. The death of Dylan and the departure of Sam Williams mark the end of the casino during one moment, then after 88 episodes of absence, return of the casino : C.C. is then the only shareholder and Brick works there. Lily Light, fighting against vice, requests the closing of the casino and organizes some manifestations : she obtains what she wants since in n°518 and it makes its "last" appearance. It will reappear in n°638, abandoned : Gina and Keith excavate it with a flashlight, thus hoping to find Kelly, tracked by the police for murder. The setting of the casino thus lasted 253 episodes, that is to say one year of shooting. Extract of *Santa Barbara Tribune* n°2, July 1993
