Are casino parties legal? 
The most common question people ask when they hear about casino
parties is, "Is this legal?" The answer is YES. What makes it legal
is that in spite of the appearance of a casino, there is no actual gambling
going on. It's all make-believe, pretend, fantasy gambling. You can
bet as much as you want, lose as much as you want and win as much as
you want, and you walk away with the same amount of money you started
with. That's because only play money is used, usually in the form of
chips, that have no real monetary value. And even though most people
will play the games just for the fun of playing (or the education and
experience they can gain), sometimes it makes the whole event more exciting
if there is something to shoot for a reward for being "number one."
That's why most casino parties provide one or more non-cash prizes for
the guests that earn the highest winnings (or chips) by the end of the
event. Prizes can be as elaborate as a new car, a trip to Las Vegas,
or a wide-screen television set. Or they can be as simple as a free
lunch at a local restaurant or a plaque or other type of award. Guests
can be any age to play.
How does a casino party work?
The term "Casino Party" is used to describe an event, where people come
together to play games commonly found in casinos in Las Vegas, but do
not actually wager money or other things of value. A casino party may
be held as a fund-raising activity for a non-profit organization, or
it may be a private celebration held by an individual, group or employer.
The major difference between the two is that those who attend a fund-raising
casino party are usually asked to make a donation for admission to the
event, whereas those who attend a private casino party are usually simply
invited to come and have fun. At either event, guests arrive to find
a variety of casino games available for their amusement. Guests are
usually given a fixed amount of play money. Guests then take their play
money to their favorite game table in exchange for chips and try to
win as much as they can during the course of the evening. At the end
of the evening, the guests turn in their chips for raffle tickets. Prizes
can be raffled off or an auction can be held and guests can bid on prizes
with their raffle tickets.
What are some ideas for prizes?
When choosing prizes for your event finding the right product for your
guests can be a challenge. Below you will find some ideas to help you.
Consider the following criteria when picking your prizes: the item should
be of high quality so that it reflects positively on your event; it
should be something that the majority of your guest would want; it’s
brand name should be recognizable in a positive way. Gift certificates
can make great prizes. You could offer restaurant certificates, specialty
retail stores certificates, American Express gift checks and the like.
If you have a small dollar budget, things like movie passes, lottery
tickets, dvd rentals and car washes can make good prizes. Please note
we do not supply prizes for your event and leave selection entirely
up to you.
How long can my guests gamble for?
We include 3.5 hours of playing time in our standard fees for equipment
and dealers. We do not charge you for set up or take down time. Three
and a half hours of casino time is usually more than adequate, especially
if your event has other activities. We will work with you to determine
the best schedule for the casino portion of your event. Additional time
is available but there is an additional charge beyond our standard package
fees.
How many gaming tables will I need for my event?
Please go to the "Set Ups" portion
of our web site to see suggested layouts for the number of guests you
anticipate for your function.
How are your dealers trained?
All of our dealers have been professionally trained. Most of them also
have worked professional casinos in Atlantic City as well as Las Vegas.
More importantly, they are "people friendly" and more than
happy to take the time to instruct your guests, who may be knew to a
casino game. They are there to insure that everyone has a great time!
Do we need to tip the dealers?
Tipping our dealers is neither required or expected.
When do you deliver, set up, breakdown and
remove your equipment?
We will work with you and the venue to determine the best time to setup.
Usually we deliver and setup well before the start of your event, 2-3
hours ahead, so it’s all ready when your guests arrive. We remove our
equipment when your event is over, NOT during your event when your guests
are still present.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
We will service Eastern Pennsylvania, all of New Jersey and Delaware.
