We have supplied numerous fund-raisers with our casino entertainment and it is always an extremely successful event. The ticket price can include a margin for profit so that you are guaranteed a good return for your efforts.
We can advertise your forthcoming fund raising charity casino night, free of charge on our web site.
For the fun casino to be used as a fund raising activity, make sure you cover the basic cost of your fun casino from either corporate sponsorship or the sale of tickets, as you would with a band or a disco. This then ensures that all proceeds from the sale of fun casino vouchers go to your charity. The fun casino can operate alongside a buffet or as after dinner entertainment. Your tables should be open for between two and a half to three hours maximum.
The two most popular fun prize casino games worldwide are blackjack and roulette, as the rules are fairly simple and the games are fast and great fun. Your fun prize casino will be best received if it includes at least one of each of them. The fun casino tables are opened for play and fun money is exchanged at the casino tables for chips, and the fun and winning commences!! All of the fun casino tables are staffed with professional croupiers so the whole evening will be organised and run for you.
Your tables should be open for between two and three hours and either start your fun casino after your meal or break for everyone to eat! Even "FUN GAMBLING" is very addictive and you do not want anyone to miss out on dinner. The action will really hot up towards closing time as people try to get among the prize-winners, so allow fifteen minutes or so to count up and compile the list of prize-winners.
Prizes can and do vary from a bottle of bubbly to a trip around the world and can be presented to the "best" gamblers. If you are fund raising, a selection of prizes, well publicised, will always improve the take! (Often businesses may be interested in donating items).
HOW IT WORKS
For fund-raising events the fun Casino Vouchers , which we supply to your event free of charge, can help to raise funds via secured local business or corporate sponsorship. The fun casino vouchers will be sold to players throughout the event by your own members. You can decide how much the fun casino vouchers are to be sold for but fund raising the fun casino vouchers should be sold at an exchange rate. From our experience we recommend that £5.00 - £10.00 cash for each fun casino voucher being 20 fun Casino Chips which players are given at the fun casino tables in return for their fun casino voucher.
The croupiers explain the games in simple detail. Guests can then play on the gaming tables of their choice for up to three hours. It must be stated that they are playing for prizes and that all monies raised go to the fund. You can cover the cost of the Casino table hire by securing local business or corporate sponsorship.
You can pay for additional entertainment by selling tickets for the event and to include an initial amount of gaming chips, perhaps 5. Guests can then purchase more fun casino vouchers from your volunteers at an exchange rate of £5.00 - £10.00 as they need to. Our MC / Casino Manger along with our professional croupiers will run the games and find the top players for you for the end of your event.
