Decoration Resources:

Fundraisers:

A casino party is a fabulous school fundraising idea.

Some tips for your school fundraisers:  Begin soliciting donations or prize donations from parents, sponsors and contributors.  Also recruit volunteers for help with decorations and dealers.

Consider advertising your casino event.  You can legally request suggested donations to enter (but cannot require).

For more information on planning a school fundraisers please see our standard Fundraiser Pages.

Games:

If you are using gaming cloths, line up some 4-6' banquet tables.  Staple or duct tape the edges of the cloths to the underside of the tables to prevent slippage.  We do offer Blackjack, Craps or Roulette cloths available for rent for $10 ($5 for schools) or for purchase for $20 ea..

For roulette, we do offer wheels for rent.  If you prefer not to rent a wheel you can purchase a low-cost plastic wheel from a variety of sources.

 Here is a neat little set!  Just tell us that you want the "Novelty Casino Game Set"- reg. $40, sale $20..  Has a 10" roulette wheel, 2 balls, 2 dice, rake, card deck, 60 poker chips and a 20" x 11" x 3" case. Case doubles as a black jack, roulette or craps (can only play one at a time).  Each game plays a maximum of six players.

Arrange the tables in a pit with the dealer's backs all toward each other or along a wall.  Click on the thumbnail below for a few ideas.

Fun Money:

You will want to print some Fun Money.  Sign on to your favorite image software and create a quick, fun design.  You can use teacher's or student's faces on the bills or other characters.

You can fit four to six bills on a page.  We recommend black and white copies on colored paper to save on cost.  

You want them to all feels like 'high-rollers'!  We recommend printing denominations of up to $100,000.. you will need them!!

Determine how much fun money that each guest will start with, let's say $10,000.  If you had 100 guests, you would need 1000 bills to start, or about 20 pages.  The evening-end redemption method that you use will determine how much more money that you will need.

There are many redemption methods that you could use but we use a Raffle, Auction, Gift Shop or Giveaway as prize methods.

If you are having an 'auction' or a 'gift shop' then you will need lots more money, if you are having a 'raffle' or a 'giveaway' then you will not need more money.

It is a good idea to have as much fun money on hand as 10X the start amount per person for an auction or a gift shop, in varying denominations.  For example, if you have 100 people that start with $10,000 each ($1,000,000) then you should have about $10,000,000 in fun money.

Remember it is illegal to use any part of the design from US Currency unless the design is smaller or larger.  Click here for more info.

Prizes:

Decide on one prize method only, don't confuse guests with two many different prize methods.  A good idea for additional prize methods is a series of prizes followed by a single grand prize.

We use a Raffle, an Auction, a Gift Shop and a Giveaway and provide our dealers with the prize tools for evening-end redemption right at the table.  This is a good practice to keep the cashier lines to a minimum.

Chips:

If you need chips only for your own tables, we offer premium gaming cheque (chips) rentals to schools for $37.50 per 1000 (delivery included).

If you rent at least one game from us (chips included with our game rentals), the cost is or $25 per 1000 chips for your own games.

If you wish to purchase your own chips there are many available sources.  Plan on needing 300-500 chips for each blackjack table and the like.  A minimum of 500 chips will be needed for the craps and roulette (or as many as 1000 or more).  Look for three to five different colors.  If you are following our example from above and are planning on starting each player with $10,000, then you will want to designate the colors as $25, 100, $500, $1000 & $5000 (don't bother with low denomination chips).

For a great really low cost idea, try your local Dollar Tree Store for some great economical chips, they have them for $1 for 80 - this is the lowest priced chip we've seen (with maybe the exception of those red/white/blue plastic interlocking ones that you remember from your childhood around the kitchen table!).

We have some great suppliers.  Ask about good quality economy chips for sale for as low as 7cents each!

Times:

We recommend hosting a casino for 3 hours with prizes afterwards unless you are having an all-night event.

For a prime-time event, advertise your event from 7-10 or 8-11pm.  Instruct your dealers to begin counting down their players at around 10 minutes till finish time.

Go right into prizes after the gaming ends.

If you are having an all-nighter make sure you keep your dealers in plenty of breaks to keep them fresh!  Another great idea to finish off your all-nighter is to cook breakfast for the students a couple of hours before end time or before dawn.  If your event is at the school you probably have a kitchen- turn those dealers into chefs!  If your venue does not have a kitchen, full-service catering always available to fit your schedule.  Please visit the menu for a look at breakfasts.
