For your party, guests receive a predestined amount of “fun money” when they arrive. When they are ready to play, they can take this “fun money” to any of the gaming tables where the dealer will exchange it for chips. Guests play the games in hope of increasing their chances of winning a prize.

Winning a Prize

The most popular way to distribute prizes is when the casino closes, guests redeem their  unused fun money and chips for raffle tickets, at a pre-determined exchange rate.  

The more chips they win— the more raffle tickets they accumulate. Once all the chips to raffle tickets conversions are done, you draw the winning tickets.                       

More tickets doesn’t guarantee anyone a prize– only more chances to win. It only takes one ticket to win the grand prize—that’s part of the fun.

Can I rent equipment without dealers?

We do frequently rent out our equipment without dealers. We usually recommend that you do hire craps and roulette dealers if you want those games unless you have someone who knows the game very well, from both sides of the table, as these are complex games to run.

Is a Casino Party Legal?

Yes, as long as certain conditions are met. Casino games per se are not illegal…it’s gambling that is illegal. Gambling is defined as having three essential elements; consideration (money), chance and prize. Consideration is the giving of something of value (money). Chance is simply the element of chance, which is present in all casino games. Prize is something of value (money) you might win.  All of our parties eliminate one or more of these three elements. As such, we are not conducting illegal gambling as defined by law. For example, in a corporate entertainment setting, your guests do not pay anything to attend your party or to play the games– therefore there is no element of consideration. None of the above should be construed to be legal advice of any sort. We encourage you to consult your own attorney if you have any concerns whatsoever as to the legalities of your specific event.

Do I tip the dealers?

The dealers at your casino party are service people just like waiters and bartenders. They provide a service for you just as they would in an actual casino and tipping is generally based on the level of that service. Unlike an actual casino, the chips have no cash value and therefore players cannot use them as money to tip the dealer.  We encourage both the host and players to tip the casino dealers.
