Mathews began bowling when he was 8 and learned how to keep score for leagues before the process became automated, earning enough money to buy his first car when he was growing up in West Covina, California, in the ‘80s. “They were officers in several leagues in Southern California and I pretty much grew up in bowling centers.” “My parents were casual bowlers,” Mathews said under the cosmic bowling lighting scheme that is a Red Rock staple on Friday and Saturday nights from 6 p.m. Mathews recently oversaw the installation of new scoring machines at the 72-lane center that is one of Red Rock’s premiere non-gaming profit centers for Station Casinos. Dennis Mathews doesn’t mind kids running around his arcade, creating havoc in the Red Rock Bowling Center.Īfter all, he sees a lot of himself in them.
