How to Plan a Casino Party to Create Lasting Memories

Whether it’s a charity fundraiser, a special event, or just for the fun of it, hosting a casino party is always exciting. However, ensuring this type of party will be a resounding success means paying attention to various details. If you’re thinking of throwing a hand to host a good night out, here are a few useful tips to help you secure a big win with your next party.

Check the Law

If you arrange casino parties at home, you don’t have to worry about many legalities. They’re legal, almost everywhere. You should bear in mind that checking compliance is a sensible precaution if the planned casino event is a particularly big one. A good idea is to ditch cash altogether; instead, let your guests play with chips that they can later turn in for prizes.

Start Planning Early

To ensure you host a casino party successfully, it’s important to take your time and plan everything early. Along with leaving plenty of time to check the regulations and apply for permits if needed, early planning has many other advantages. This way, you can plan the theme and gather resources.

Early planning also involves planning, booking, and confirming the entertainment. You can decide the location, work on the guest list, and send early invites. If you give yourself plenty of time, it also helps you make any changes to turn it into a successful party.

Pick a Theme

A creative theme adds another level of fun to a casino party. James Bond, Las Vegas, and the Roaring 20s are always popular. However, you can also keep your guest interested by going with a more whimsical party theme, like Alice in Wonderland.

No matter the theme, it’s important to carry it through into the decorations, dress code, music, food, and drink. Picking a theme early helps you plan things better, which gives your guests a more immersive experience.

For instance, the catering at a Bond casino party has to feature martinis. Shaken not stirred. Guests at an Alice party could nibble petit fours tarts and be served shots in “potion” bottles.

Similarly, a Bond-themed dress code would dictate tuxedos and ball gowns, at Alice’s themed party, it would be white aprons and headbands, top hats, and bunny ears.

Decide on Games and Supplies

To include games with that true casino feel, it’s worth hiring a professional gaming vendor. They bring all that’s needed and have all the best casino games you usually find at real casinos.  They may include roulette, blackjack tables, slot machines, and so much more. Specialist vendors also provide the croupiers, guaranteeing a smooth play experience, and a pit boss to oversee the floor, if needed.

When deciding on the number of gaming spots, it’s useful to know that not all of the guests will play at any one time. The number comes down for every amenity added, such as dinner, dancing, or a prop-filled photo booth.

Make It an Authentic Experience

It’s important to pay attention to some add-ons to provide your guests with an authentic casino experience. You can achieve that by going with some popular entertainment options. This may include:

• Up close experiences with magicians and illusionists
• Live music provided by a party, jazz, swing or big band with a “rat pack” type crooner
• Burlesque dancers and showgirls

Endnote

Throwing a memorable casino party involves paying attention to many aspects. If you follow the tips we have mentioned, you can definitely make your guests feel more like true high rollers.
