How To Organise A Dinner Casino Night

There are many things to consider when it comes to knowing how to organise a dinner casino night. For example, hiring a venue, selecting a theme, renting casino equipment, arranging croupiers or professional Poker dealers and sending out invitations, to mention just a few! A good place to start is obviously the venue. Holding a 'for fun' casino night is perfectly legal, however, it is wise to advise the proprietor of the venue your intention at the time of booking. If they have any queries you can direct them to the Gambling Commission website, or to the casino hire equipment company.

Once you have secured your venue then you can consider choosing a theme. Having a theme for your dinner/dance casino night is a great way to add an element of fun to the night. Common fun casino night themes include; James Bond, Viva Las Vegas, 1920s Al Capone style gangster nights and Cowboys and Indians (wild west). You can, of course, choose your own theme and most casino equipment hire companies will be sure to accommodate your needs. Many fun casino night hire companies also offer props and decorations for hire to complete your dinner casino night theme decorations. Casino equipment hire companies will normally include professional croupier services with the gaming table bookings. If you decide to book 'self deal' tables you can hire croupiers or Poker dealers on a freelance contract for an hourly rate. The recommended average gaming table booking ratio is one gaming table per 20 - 30 people. It is recommended that you book either a Blackjack or Roulette Table, or to give your guests the best possible casino experience, both.

For larger parties you may require more gaming tables, and a Poker table is always a winning choice, as is a Craps Table, or a Wheel of Fortune. Casino hire companies can advise you as to how best to proceed with the amount of gaming tables you require. If you are managing a budget, or dealing with space constraints, then you may consider splitting your party into two sittings for their meal. That way, you can cut down on the number of guests using the gaming tables at any given time. The casino equipment hire company will deliver your equipment and set it up for you. An average night's equipment hire is three hours. When guests arrive they will be given 'play money'. They can exchange their play money for chips at each gaming table. If you are running a fun casino night for charity then consider allowing attendees to replenish their stock of play money throughout the night, by purchasing further play money, thus increasing the amount of money you raise for charity.

At the end of the night all guests can 'cash in' their chips and the croupiers will go about counting them. They will then inform you as to the winners (or even the best loser!) so you can arrange your prize ceremony. Having a closing ceremony, whereby you give out prizes, is a great way to conclude your fun casino dinner night. You can choose what prizes to give your guests, but remember that they should comply with gaming regulations as found on the Gambling Commission website.
