Questions for Casino Theme Party Operators:

Do you provide the tables and the dealers or croupiers?

Most casino theme party companies offer both the equipment, from the gaming tables to the chips, as well as the dealers and croupiers to run the games. If you have a limited budget, ask if it is possible to rent all the tables from them and hire a few key table operators. For example, perhaps you can rent tables for Craps, Blackjack, and Poker, but only hire a croupier for the Craps table with friends dealing at the card tables.  

How experienced are your dealers and croupiers?

One of the best things about a casino party is that you can learn how to improve your game without draining your wallet. However, if the table operator is inexperienced you don't have this option and the game suffers. Ask if their dealers and croupiers have ever worked in a professional casino or how many years they have been with the casino party company.

What are your booking policies and fees?

Most companies require a 50% deposit to save the date with final payment due on the night on the party. Ask about cancellation fees and security deposits. Find out what would jeopardize getting your security deposit back (i.e. drinks spilled on the tables). Also, it's customary to tip the dealers and croupiers, so you may want to inquire about that as well. Finally, get everything in writing and confirm the engagement the week of your event.
 
Are Casino Parties Legal?

Most will respond that casino parties are legal, however gambling with real money is not. Add to the fun of your party with some personalized poker chips and give them a high roller value of $1,000 per chip!



DIY Casino Theme Party Operators
A casino night can be just as fun with your friends as the dealers or running the game tables. As the host, you may want to play the role of the "Pit Boss" so you can keep an eye on the festivities. Here's what you'll need for a DIY casino.

DIY Gaming Tables and Accessories   

  • Turn regular tables into casino tables with felt layouts for black jack, roulette, poker, and craps.

  • Purchase accessories for your casino games such as cards and a card shoe, a roulette wheel, craps dice and stick, and recommendations from casino party supply websites.  

  • Throw in one of those games that people want to play in the real casinos but may be intimidated by such as Baccarat or Pai Gow.

  • Get fun thematic casino chips for the party. Personalize large chip cups with a label so guests can carry their loot from one table to another.

  • Have a casino games book on hand so none of the rules are left up to chance!

    Top 5 Casino Party Themes

    Las Vegas was a strip of motels in the desert for years until hotel mavericks themed it out with replicas of famous landmarks and superstar attractions. Themes are great attention-getters and right in line with a Casino Night party.  These Top 5 ideas will work for any occasion.

    1. Vegas Casino Night

            Go for broke with a straightforward Vegas theme party. A Vegas style is easily achieved, as there are plenty of generic casino theme party decorations available. Give the party personality by hiring an Elvis impersonator or hanging an affordable scene setter of "The King."

    2. 20s Speakeasy Casino Party

            It's got to be the boas that make a 20s party one of the most popular themes. Speakeasies were secret clubs during the 1920s where patrons could have a cocktail, as prohibition was in effect and sale of alcohol was illegal. Guests can come as gangsters and flappers and gamble the night away.

    3. Gambling Gulch

            Go with an Old West feel for your casino night theme party. This theme is real easy with all the western party decor available from hay bales to a saloon door scene setter. Plus, your guests will love coming to the party dressed as cowboys and saloon gals. Or keep it contemporary and casual by titling the party as, "Denim and Dice."

    4. Black Tie and Blackjacks

            An upscale casino night theme party is popular for fundraisers. Whether you title this casino party with the double-entendre of the word "black" as we did, or spin it as a James Bond Night in Monte Carlo, the idea of dressing up and gambling with "pretend" money is always appealing to guests.

    5. Queen of Hearts

            Celebrate a lucky lady's birthday with this theme! You can go with a card suit theme, for which there are many casino theme party supplies. Or, you can girl it up with pink heart decor and the traditional gaming tables. Check out our Ladies Only Pink Poker Party for more ideas.
