How to organise an amazing Fun Casino Night

Why organise a fun casino night? At this stage you probably have your heart set on staging a casino night extravaganza. If you are still contemplating the idea of organising a fun casino night, here are possible reasons to host a casino night. Convinced yet? I hope so. So where do you start when it comes to organising a fun casino night, be it corporate or private casino night event.

Is it Legal?

First things first, will your fun casino night be legal? Stick within these rules for running a fun casino night and you will be ready to move forward to hiring a reputable fun casino night supplier in your local area. All you have to do is enter your location and you will see a list of all available suppliers who can fulfil your casino party requirements.

Choosing a fun casino hire company

Having a reputable a well experienced fun casino hire company that employs professional staff, can make all the difference to your casino party. Here are some questions you should be asking potential suppliers:

1) How much will the total casino event cost including all croupiers, casino equipment, extras and VAT? Make sure you get at least 3/4 quotes as the fun casino hire industry is notorious for having a wide range of prices for similar service offerings.

2) What type of games/tables should I have at my casino night? This depends on what type of atmosphere you want at your fun casino night. For example, if most of your guests are new to casino games, it is best to keep it simple and go for easy to understand games such as blackjack and roulette. For the more learned gamblers a craps table always goes down a treat. Poker is also growing in popularity as a fun casino game, but it is really only advisable if there is a decent amount of people in attendance that understands the rules or played previously.

3) How old are the gaming tables? Nobody wants shabby casino hire equipment, or blackjack tables with cigarette burns or red wine stains all over it.

4) Will the dealers be wearing proper fun casino attire? If you want to add a professional look and feel to your fun casino, you want the real deal complete with bow tie and tuxedo.

5) Do they supply an itinerary? If a fun casino hire company can supply an itinerary of the casino night it shows they are professional and plan ahead. It will also give you a good idea of what will happen on the night and it is will be a useful piece of information to forward to your guests who will be attending your fun casino night.

Venue for a Fun Casino Evening

If your a having a private casino evening to celebrate a birthday or anniversary, there really is no place like home. It is not hard to turn your living quarters into a Las Vegas casino with some casino decorations. If you want somewhere slightly more formal to host your fun casino every, you should look to hire a private room in a local bar or hotel. Most venues and proprietors will be fairly relaxed about allowing a fun casino night to take place on the premises as long as no real money or cash gambling is involved. If it’s a corporate or larger fun casino event you are arranging, it is worth holding your event in a hotel ballroom. It also as a big advantage is your chosen fun casino venue has prior experience in holding such events.

Pick a Fun Casino Theme

Once you have found a suitable fun casino hire company, it is time to move on to picking a suitable theme for your casino party. There are loads of themes you can choose from with the most popular being a James Bond casino party, wild west casino party, gangster casino party, 1960's casino party and finally a sporting casino theme. Here is a photo of a home fun casino night I attended recently with a James Bond Casino Royal theme. As you can see from the photo, a few balloons and posters can help to create some authentic atmosphere. Oh, and it helps if everybody makes the effort to stick to the James Bond Party dress code.

Extras that make a fun casino night special

Here are some ideas that can help create the ultimate casino night. The will end up adding to the overall cost of your fun casino evening, but for the perfect casino theme party event it is worth considering the following:

1) Fun casino party invitations - Just a small touch to make your guests feel special and to set the mood for your casino event. You can do them online using Evite if you wish.

2) Get somebody to film the event, especially if there is a poker game at your casino night.

3) Get the drinks right. If it's a bond theme casino night you are hosting, make sure the martinis are shaken not stirred (link).

4) Have spot prizes for the evening (and not just an overall prize to the winner). For example, if the roulette ball lands on zero, everybody gets some free chips or fun money.

5) Hire some waitresses or table service. Even if it's a home fun casino evening, waitress/cocktail service adds guaranteed glamour to your event.
