Casino ‘fun’ evening

A tabletop ‘Fun’ Casino provides you with a choice of games dealt by professionally trained croupiers. The usual format is to provide each of your guests with a small amount of fun-money which they then exchange for chips at the gaming tables. Should they lose all their chips further fun-money can be purchased to enable them to continue playing. Some clients prefer to provide a set amount of fun-money and have none available for sale. This is your choice – our only constraint is that the event is run legally which means that your guests are not allowed to win money. They will be playing the games with the aim of accruing as many chips as they can in order to win a prize which you supply. Any money generated from selling the chips is of course, yours and can be used to fund the cost of the prizes if you wish. The person/s with the most chips at the end of the playing time will win the prize/s. We will provide your guests with a guide to playing the games but our staff will keep everyone on the right lines during the games. Minimum requirement 2 tables (Blackjack and Roulette) suitable for up to 40 persons. Includes cloths, betting chips, croupiers etc. (Trestle tables 3’x6’ to be provided by hotel). Duration up to 2 hours (extra charge if after midnight). We consider 2 games to be sufficient for up to 40 people. For more tables we can either double up on these games or add Poker and/or Dice – with a 5th table of ‘Rat’ Racing if required. For 80 people we suggest 4 tables – 80-100 people we suggest 5 tables.
