Prize Merchandising services also available
(setting up tables, prize placement, ship receiving, etc.)

>Initial funds distribution for guests is (typically) $5,000 in Fun Money.
>Event-end redemption occurs when players cash-out their winnings to win prizes.

Our Free Prize Methods consist of the TOOLS (prize aides) that
provide the means to physically facilitate your prizes.
("Tools" are the actual prize opportunities that players receive)

The prize method that you choose will determine how the chips are redeemed at the end of the night.  It is CRUCIAL to have an evening-end chip redemption to increase player incentive and give them the desire to stay in it until the end.  With prizes up for grabs, they will have something to play for and will bet to win (for which we encourage).  This adds to the excitement and ensures all chips are returned.  Also adds a finale.

'Prize Tools' included free with every order.  The "tools" are the actual prize opportunities that
players receive to enter prize drawings.

We include enough tools for all guests present and manage your prizes at no additional cost. 

Live Facilitation Note:
Live Facilitation is an optional service that we can provide at your discretion.  Live facilitation consists of the actual verbal announcements of prize winners and although it can become quite involved, we have found that most clients prefer to carry out this procedure themselves.  If you have a large group or if you wish us to perform the live facilitation we offer this service for a nominal fee (fee schedule listed below right).

TIP:  If you have already hired a DJ/Emcee this is the ideal person to facilitate prizes; we typically are approached by the DJ about this and we will work in cooperation with them for you as well as provide them with extra fun money to give away in their own "contests".  The DJ is the ideal candidate to facilitate the prizes verbally because he has already been interacting with guests all evening and crowd interaction is their specialty.

• RAFFLE - most popular.

• AUCTION - 2nd most popular.

• GIVEAWAY - the simplest, quickest.

• or GIFT SHOP - best for many prizes.

Even if we do not do the facilitation, we still provide all the tools (the cost of these tickets can really add up!).

SUMMARY:
>Guests redeem their winnings and/ or leftover funny money at the end of the night.
>Guests receive a pre-designated number of tickets per a pre-determined dollar amount.
>Guests deposit their tickets in the ticket receptacles (raffle drum or baskets)
>Tickets are later drawn and numbers verbally announced for the prizes (live facilitation).

A great example of why Amerifun is the company to select - the extras!
We provide these things for your raffle:

• Mutual Double Tickets (single tickets also on-hand).

• Single or Multiple Ticket Receptacles (shown below).

• Signs displaying Amounts.

• Free Basic Facilitation for groups under 100 people at your request (PA capabilities required).

Note: At the start of the event, players do not need to know the amount of tickets that they will receive.. only that they will receive tickets.

Experience has taught us that you cannot set the amounts as you do not know how much players will win.   If you set a pre-determined amount of tickets received per dollar amount, then you will find that players will end up with too many or too few tickets at evening's end.

We do it like this:  We watch how players are doing and set the amount during the last hour.. usually 1 tickets per $1,000 / 1 ticket per $2-$3,000 / 1 ticket per $5,000.

If you start guests with more than $5,000 the above amounts may be higher.

Raffle Drum (pictured above) is best for large groups with many tickets.

Select the Raffle Drum if you want to draw for prizes one at a time (such as lowest value prize to highest).  With this option you can also offer guests the option to pass on a prize and try their luck at another draw).

Here is some information that we may need from you and some questions to ask yourself:
1.) Do you prefer players to JUST WIN ONE PRIZE EACH... OR...
WINNER TAKES ALL (whoever's ticket is drawn wins regardless)?

2.) Can player forego a win for another chance at another win for a different prize (player passes on a prize and returns their ticket to the receptacle)?

3.) MUST PLAYERS BE PRESENT TO WIN?

4.) Do you prefer on SINGLE TICKET RECEPTACLE (hopper)... OR...
MULTIPLE RECEPTACLES (baskets)?

5.) What is your NUMBER OF PRIZES?

6.) Is there a MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TICKETS that you want the top winners to end up at the end of the evening?  If you like, we can figure this for you.  Sometimes it is a good idea to have a ceiling placed on the max number of tickets if you have some really big winners.  For example:  Let's say that you have 5-10 prizes and have decided on 1 ticket per $1,000.  Most of your guests have won $25,000 yet a few guests won over $100,000.  This would give the majority of your guests a comfortable 25 tickets but 100 tickets or more for some players.  A ceiling ensures equal dispersement fairness as well as speedy facilitation.

7.) Is there a LOWEST NUMBER OF TICKETS that you want all players to at least win? (example: 5)  If you like, we can figure this for you too.  Let's say you offer 1 ticket per $5,000 and most guests win ample tickets but a few had less that $5,000 and receive only one ticket.

We can help create the perfect balance in your raffle.

For facilitation alternatives, please see Auctioneer, Host or Master of Ceremonies.

Baskets (pictured above) are best for groups holding less tickets (as not to overload the baskets).

The Baskets are employed when you wants to offer guests the option of registering for a specific prize.  Tickets are drawn out of a basket corresponding to a certain prize.  We will provide an equal number of baskets to your prizes (for instance, if you have 50 prizes, we will provide 50 baskets).

SUMMARY:
>Guests redeem all of chips at the end of the night.
>Guests receive more fun money back (or vouchers with their winning amount by request).
>A live auction is later performed for prizes (guests use their fun money to bid with).

• Funny Money or Vouchers to bid with.

• Bidding Paddles for your guests Coming Soon.

Here is some information that we may need from you and some questions to ask yourself:
1.) How many GUESTS will be attending your event?

2). How many PRIZES will you have?

3.) Do you want players to only be able to win ONE PRIZE?:

4.) Do you want to start bidding from Smallest to Largest prize or Random?
