What is the name of the episode where Michael Scott holds a Casino Night?

The episode in which Michael Scott holds a casino night is titled “Casino Night.” It is the second-season finale and the twenty-eighth episode overall of the American version of The Office.

The episode originally aired on NBC on May 11, 2006. Michael organizes the event as a charity fundraiser at the Dunder Mifflin office, intending to support the Boy Scouts of America. His plans become awkward when he invites both his boss, Jan Levinson, and his real-estate agent, Carol Stills.

“Casino Night” is especially important for the series’ central relationship. Jim Halpert finally tells Pam Beesly that he is in love with her, and the episode ends with Pam returning his kiss after initially turning him down. The story also features Dwight and Angela’s secret relationship, Kevin Malone’s band Scrantonicity, and Creed’s remarkable ability to steal casino chips.

Steve Carell wrote the episode, his first writing credit on the series, and Ken Kwapis directed it. It was also the show’s first supersized episode, running about 28 minutes rather than the usual 20-minute format.
