Are casino nightfundraisers legal? 
Yes. Casino night fundraisers are legal. It's all in fun, with no "REAL" gambling involved. Your guests wager with funny money and have a chance to win prizes based on their winnings. There is no monetary requirement for them to participate. Guests of any age are allowed to play. Be sure to check our How to run a Casino Night Fundraiser page and/or our Casino Night Fundraiser Legal Downloads page regarding the legality of your fundraiser event.
How does a casino night fundriaser work?
Guests are given a funny money voucher which they can exchange at any casino party table for chips. They can play at their favorite table or move from table to table throughtout the evening. If the guests do not know how to play the game, our friendly dealers will be happy to explain it to them to ensure that everyone learns, has fun and experiences the festive casino night atmosphere. At the end of the evening guests turn in their chips for either raffle tickets or auction vouchers for a chance to win prizes provided by the host/hostess.
How long does a typical casino night fundraiser last?
All of our pricing is based on 3 hours of actual casino time. Addtional hours are available at a pro rated cost.
How much space do I need?
Blackjack, money wheel and poker tables require approximately 50 square feet. Roulette and Mini Craps tables require approximately 60 square feet. Full size craps tables require approximately 80 square feer. This should leave enough room for dealers, players and walking areas.
Blackjack, Let it Ride, 3 Card Poker, Caribbean Stud, Pai Gow, Casino War = 6 feet x 3 1/2 feet
Holdem Poker = 7 feet x 3 1/2 feet
Roulette = 7 feet x 4 feet
Small Craps = 8 feet x 4 feet
Large Craps = 12 feet x 4 feet
How many gaming tables will I need for my fundraising event?
We normally recommend 50% - 70% table coverage versus the number of guests depending on whether or not you have other activities such as silent auctions, live auctions and raffles. The more activities you have the fewer casino tables you will need. Example: If you have a guest list of 100 you should have enough spots for 50 - 70 players at any give time.
Blackjack, Let it Ride, 3 Card Poker, Caribbean Stud, Pai Gow, Casino War = 7 playing spots
Holdem Poker = 8 playing spots
Roulette = 8 playing spots
Small Craps = 8-10 playing spots
Large Craps = 12-14 playing spots
