The casino party theme tends to be most popular amongst offices for special parties and for entertaining groups of clients. I suggest you therefore hold your party at the office, but it could also be held in a hotel conference suite or even in your local casino.
You should look up your local private casino organization on the internet. They are well trained and will bring all their own equipment, running the night for you, leaving you to have fun with your guests.
One major decision you will need to make very early on is whether or not to play with real money. I can tell you now from experience that the majority of private casino parties do not play with real money, though of course you can do if you wish.
Consider charging an up front fee. When you’re guests enter your venue, they are provided with chips. At the end of the night, whoever has the most chips wins the kitty. You can have a 2nd and 3rd prize also, split as you like. This way nobody loses more money than anybody else and it all remains fun.
Get your guests thinking about your casino party theme in advance by making your invitations into clubs, spades, diamonds and hearts cut out from card. Make sure you state on your invitations that it is a black tie event and cocktail dresses for the ladies.
Get some dollar shaped confetti and sprinkle it around your casino party venue, on the tables and surfaces.
The four games i would go for would be poker, craps, 21 and blackjack. They are all easy to learn and play, most people are already familiar with them.
You could also have a karaoke machine for additional entertainment, this being the only time i would advocate such a move. Have plenty of finger foods on offer, just like when you’re at the casino and have all the usual drinks.
