Traditional casino games
here are a few traditional vegas games. Raise the stakes and award your guests prizes when they win.
Texas hold em’
at the start of the game, two players to the left of the dealer put out blind bets. Usually the "first blind" (the player to the left of the dealer) puts up half the minimum bet, and the "second blind" puts up the full minimum bet.
Each player is dealt two cards, face down. These are known as hole cards.A round of betting takes place (clockwise), beginning with the player to the left of the second blind. Each player can call, raise, or fold when it's their turn to bet.
The dealer then flips the next three cards face up on the table. These cards are called the "flop", and are are community cards in that everyone can use them in combination with their own hole cards to make their hand.
Betting begins again with the player to the dealer’s left. The dealer plays another card face up onto the table. This fourth community card is called the "turn" or "fourth street." betting begins again with the player to the dealer’s left. The dealer plays the final community card, the "river" or "fifth street."
Players use any combination of seven cards to form the best possible five-card poker hand. The final round of betting occurs, starting with the player left of the dealer. All players who remain in the game (if you didn't fold) reveal their hands. The player with the best 5 card poker hand wins.
Black jack
blackjack is a counting game. Each of the numeric cards are valued at the number of the card (2, 3, 4. Etc). Face cards (jack, queen, and king) and 10's are worth 10. Aces can be used by the player as either one or eleven, whichever is best for their hand.
The ideas is to accumulate cards with a total value as close as possible to twenty-one without going over. A player wins if his hand is closer to twenty-one than the dealer's hand, or if the dealer goes over 21, which is called busting. Players can take as many cards as they wish from the dealer until they stand (stop taking cards) or bust (the hand goes over twenty-one).
If a player busts, he automatically loses the hand, even if the dealer busts. A player also loses if the dealer's hand is closer to twenty-one. If the player's hand and the dealer's tie (and do not bust) it is called a "push" and no money is won or lost.
If the initial two cards of a player's hand or the dealer's hand add up to exactly twenty-one (like an ace and a queen) that is called blackjack. A blackjack beats any other hand, even if the other hand adds to twenty-one. Additionally, if a player is dealt a blackjack and the dealer is not, then the dealer has to pay the player 1.5 times his original bet (if player bet $10, the dealer pays him $15).
At the start of each hand the dealer starts by dealing two cards to each player and to himself. One on the dealer's first two cards is dealt face up. The players' cards are either dealt all face up or all face down.
Then the players have a choice, starting with the player to the right of the dealer:
- Hit - the player wants another card from the deal, which is then dealt.
- Stand - the player does not want any more cards for this hand.
- Split - if the player is dealt two initial cards having equal value (two 7's), the player can choose to split those cards into two separate hands and play them individually. This also requires that the player match his original bet by making an equal bet on the newly created 2nd hand.
- Double down - after receiving the two initial cards, the player can double his original bet on the hand, and the dealer gives him exactly one additional card (for a total of three cards). The player cannot take any more cards after that.
- Surrender - if the player is dealt the two initial cards, hasn't split them, and concludes the chances of winning are low, he can concede the hand and only lose half of the original bet.
These five choices are the only ones available to the player. The player can continue to hit additional cards on the hand until he stands or busts. At that point, the play of the hand moves to the next player to the dealer's right.

Casino nights: fun and games, not gambling
Tips for success, top ways to increase profits, and guidelines to make sure your group's next casino night fundraiser plays by the rules.
Casino nights take careful preparation, and you need to be familiar with the legal restrictions in your area. But the payoff can be big.
Typically, parent groups sell tickets in advance for a las vegas-style evening of games like blackjack, poker, craps, texas hold’em, and roulette run by dealers from a company specializing in this type of event. If you have knowledgeable gamblers among your parents, you can run the event yourself, but most groups feel that the cost of bringing in professionals is well worth it.
“the dealers we hired were so good, so professional, and they helped people out,” says joy klineberg, who chaired the PTA casino night at robert E. Willett elementary in davis, calif. “it felt like you were at vegas.”
The ticket price usually includes a certain number of chips to play with. If attendees run out, they can purchase more. At the end of the evening, the chips might be exchanged for raffle tickets. The evening also includes food, drinks (if allowed), and music. Many casino nights include an auction, as well.
Keys to success
Start planning at least nine months ahead of time, especially if you have to secure permits. If you will be asking businesses for donations, give them at least six months of lead time and avoid approaching them during the holidays, when they will be besieged with requests. “start way ahead of time,” says tanya brooks, president of the holland township PTO in milford, N.J. “this is not something you can throw together.”
Promote the event as a night out for parents, and encourage them to dress up. Make the event special with casino-themed decorations (check your local party and dollar stores), music (hire a DJ or recruit a parent), and food (hire a caterer or do it yourself to save money).
You will need plenty of volunteers, especially if you plan to make the food yourselves. Be sure to have enough helpers so they can rotate out to enjoy the games themselves.
Dos and don’ts
Don’t skimp on game tables. “organizations tend to underestimate the number of tables,” says michael magee, president of casino party aces in raleigh, N.C. “A good rule of thumb is to have enough tables so that half the guests can play at any one time. If you have only enough tables for 25 percent of the guests, they’re not likely to rotate through.”
Do create turnover at tables. One of the main challenges at a casino night is to make sure everyone gets a chance to play. That doesn’t happen if people plop down at a game and stay put. To avoid the problem of people not moving from their spots, plan a break in the middle of the evening, such as a presentation by the principal.
Do sell tickets in advance. “expecting people to pay at the door is a recipe for disaster,” magee says. “if you don’t sell out, call the casino night party operator and the caterer and reduce the scope of what you ordered.”
Top 5 ways to increase profits
Secure sponsors for each table. “you can pay for a casino night almost exclusively with table sponsorships,” says michael magee of casino party aces. Holland township PTO sold $100 sponsorships, with sponsor names on a sign on the table.
Get creative with promoting sponsors. Have game dealers wear logos on their clothing to promote a local company that pays a set price for this prominent advertisement.
Raise your ticket prices. “they need to be relatively expensive, $50 to $100 per head, though it depends on your demographics,” magee says.
Add another fundraising activity. Make a silent and a live auction part of the evening.
Sell drinks, if permitted. Beverages can often be a high-profit item.
How much money could we make?
Profits vary widely depending on ticket prices and attendance. At strawberry point school in mill valley, calif., for example, the event netted $11,000 the first year while the fifth year’s profit was more than $100,000, according to former PTA vice president eddie savino. Sales of $50 tickets brought in $10,000. Members collected $5,000 in cash donations, and corporate sponsorships netted as much as $15,000. But most of the money came from a live auction in which people made bids to fund particular needs for the school, such as a computer lab cart or a grass field.
How long should it last?
Casino night companies usually require a minimum of four hours. They must be paid for the entire evening, even if you close the tables for a break.
Where is the best place to hold this type of event?
If you have a large enough area at your school, there’s nothing wrong with holding it on campus. But if space isn’t available—or if you plan to serve alcohol—you probably need to rent a facility. Holland township used the banquet room at a local fire station.
Will our school community be offended by a gambling fundraiser?
Ask for feedback about this event before proceeding. Emphasize that it is an evening of games rather than gambling.
New and trendy
One year, the PTA at north bend elementary in washington state offered separate events for moms and dads. Held at a private home on different dates were a margarita mama evening for women and a texas hold’em night for men. Tickets were available at the school’s live auction—the first 75 women and 75 men who raised their paddles got the chance to buy tickets at $100 and $50 each, respectively. The women enjoyed a mexican fiesta and a margarita bar; the men had hors d’oeuvres and a keg of beer and played cards until midnight. Together, these events brought in about $10,000, says former PTA vice president erin mccallum.
How to keep it legal
Rules about casino night fundraisers vary greatly from state to state. In some places, as long as people don’t win any money, there’s no problem. “we have two attorneys on the PTA who made sure our event was legal,” says barbara archer, vice president of the willett elementary PTA. “the key was that the gaming was done just for fun. There was no money exchange, no real value to the chips. They couldn’t cash them in for things.”
But elsewhere, regulations can be quite strict. In new jersey, for example, the holland township PTO had to apply for both gambling and liquor licenses as well as an individual permit for a casino night. To get the casino night permit, the parent group had to send in event tickets with their permit application. The law also requires that the permit number appear on all flyers and advertisements.
Identifying the correct government office to contact can be confusing. In iowa, the department of inspections and appeals handles the social and charitable gambling program. In wisconsin, the division of gaming is under the purview of the department of administration, while in delaware the gaming control board is a part of the division of professional regulation, which operates under the department of state. And in texas, where regulation of charitable gambling is divided among several state agencies, the attorney general has ruled that charging an entrance fee for casino nights and similar activities constitutes illegal gambling, even if the event is held for charitable purposes.
The best advice is to find out what rules apply in your area. One place to start is by asking for help at city hall. You can also search online for “charitable gambling” and the name of your state.
“check your jurisdiction and make sure it’s legal,” says michael magee of casino party aces. “each state and even some municipalities have their own laws about how casino night fundraisers can be done, if at all. Usually, the local casino night provider will know the ins and outs. It’s important to work with somebody familiar with that jurisdiction.”

How to plan a casino party
A casino party is a great theme for a guy's birthday party. Whether you decide on an all-out casino theme party or a game night, your party will sure to be a big hit!
- Invitations: punchbowl has this terrific free casino-themed invitations that you can send to all of your guests to get them excited for your casino theme party. Before you send your invite, decide if you want it to be an upscale casino party (think james bond in casino royale) that might involve guests getting dressed up in cocktail attire, a middle of the road vegas themed party, or a low-key casino night comprised of poker and beer. Give guests a heads up about what to expect on your invitations.
- Games: what's a casino party without the games? There are actually companies that will bring a casino games to your venue so you can have a variety of games for your guests to play. They will often supply the dealers to not only deal the cards, but also explain how the games are played in case some guests are first-timers. If you're party is a little more low-key, you can set up a few tables for some of the more basic games like poker and blackjack.
- Party tip: instead of using real money (which might be a lot to ask of your guests), print up your own money with the guest of honor's face on the fake bills. Get some prizes so your guests have something to play for—gift cards or a bottle of wine work well.
- Food: casino food can vary greatly. If you've been to vegas lately, you know that the casinos are filled with upscale restaurants from world-famous chefs in a variety of cuisines. In this case, since your guests will be playing games, you probably don't want a sit-down meal. Set up a buffet with the guest of honor's favorite foods. Guests can take a break from the games to grab a plate for themselves.
- Cocktails: if you're hosting an upscale casino party, consider setting up a martini bar. Give guests a few liquors from which to choose, set our a few different types of mixer and put garnishes like cherries, olives, and orange slices in small bowls. You can even print up a few menu options or let guests have fun creating their own concoction.

“check your jurisdiction and make sure it’s legal,” says michael magee of casino party aces. “each state and even some municipalities have their own laws about how casino night fundraisers can be done, if at all. Usually, the local casino night provider will know the ins and outs. It’s important to work with somebody familiar with that jurisdiction.”

Had the wonderful photo mirror at my wedding! It looked amazing and my guests loved it! Would 100% recommend them to anyone!!
We recently booked diamond fun casino as entertainment for our wedding. Aside from offering a very reasonably priced package, they set-up discreetly and were very engaging with our guests which complimented the positive atmosphere already at the event. Thanks again guys.
I worked with liz and murat at diamond for our company's biggest awards ceremony, the world procurement awards 2018 on may 17. They were a real pleasure to work with, both pre- and during the event. Very responsive, accommodating and professional. They didn't just supply what we requested, they went beyond that and were helpful onsite, too, delivering an outstanding experience to our guests. We worked with them in the past and we will definitely work with them again!
I am the events manager at the compasses at pattiswick. I am very late in writing this review (apologies), but wanted to express what a wonderful and professional service we received when using diamond fun casino for a christmas party last year. From booking, right through to the night everything ran smoothly. The tables look great and add that little something extra to any party night!
Host a casino royale party at home
A casino party always holds the promise of a fun-filled night with friends and family. You can host the ultimate ‘casino royale’ party right at your home with our step by step guide to creating a vegas casino-like environment inside a room, offering stylish food and most importantly, organizing a set of casino games for the guests to enjoy.
‘creating’ the casino
First up, you need to do some planning. This involves choosing a room appropriate for the party. You need space for the guests to be able to move, tables for setting up the games, card tables and a buffet table. Whether you are planning to re-create the games by having dealers for each table or replace the games with laptop screens where guests can play live casino, tables are a must. Find more ideas from this pinterest board for creating a casino like atmosphere at home.
Next, decide whether you want real money to be used. If not, your options could be fake casino chips or fake printed money (your currency could have your own picture!) or even plastic gold coins if you are having kids.
Invitations
Poker or bingo themed invitations, depending upon the games you are planning to have at your party, can be easy to make yourself. Here is a simple, yet stunning, invitation idea that uses red paper squares and white paper circles to create dice on black cardstock.
Decorations
Decorate your ‘set’ in 007 style by choosing red, black and white as your main colors. You can choose to create your own decorations if you like DIY or choose from the numerous choices available for casino party supplies at ebay, etsy or oriental trading.
Cardboard dice
Cover large boxes in white, black or red and stick circles to make large dice shaped props. Stack them upon each other at the entrance or place them randomly around the party area.
Feather centrepiece
Create larger than life, bond movie sets by grouping large red and black feathers in a vase.

Slot machine decorations
You can either dress your door to look like a slot machine with this door cover:
Turn your entire room or one wall into a row of slot machines with this roll:
Dress code
Ask your guests to come in proper casino attire. You could make it a black tie or a white tie event. Black suits with red lapel flowers and red evening gowns or cocktail attire with cute mini hats would turn your party into a real casino.
Activities & games
Learning casino games at a party can be for many people a fun way to get without them having to be ashamed of in a casino. Once you have chosen your casino party theme, it is time to choose which casino games you want are on the same evening. And more importantly, where do you put them down.
Some of the easiest games to play at home, the card games like poker or blackjack.These games come in several varieties and you do not need any special equipment except for chips and playing cards. You can even have a simple table with black flannel cloth, and then draw with a white marker the playing field. If you only want to offer card games, consider many variations.
If you plan to have dealers behind the tables, make sure that they know the game very well, and can explain the rules. If you do not have dealers, put a signs on each table describing the rules of the game being played at that table.
For games such as roulette, craps, slots etc., you could buy tabletop games or hire a company to set them up for the evening. If hiring dealers and renting equipment is taking things too far, you can simply arrange for a few computers/laptops and play live casino together. You could, for some inspiration, visit paddy power’s online live casino to get an idea of how it works, beforehand.
Other than casino games, you could have a photo booth with casino themed props and a show for card tricks. A dance floor is always welcome at any party.
Drink if…game
Food & drinks
Red and black, bond favorites and everything else that looks stylish and is easy to eat while moving around can be served at a casino party. Check out some of these ideas.
If you are celebrating a birthday or a wedding, poker themed cakes and cupcakes are a must. The poker theme lends itself really well to many other food items. Think cake pops, cookies, cake balls, mini sandwiches, canapés etc.
Poker themed flag picks can be used to decorate any other food stuffs like chips, cheese and appetizers.
A casino party might look like it is a must-have to serve alcohol, but it really isn’t. It’s just you and your friends and depending upon the group’s preference, you can choose to serve any kind of drinks. If you are having alcohol served, a 007 favorite is vodka martinis – “shaken, not stirred”. Another idea is to create james bond inspired drinks.
Favors
From dice shaped chocolates and sweets to custom printed chocolate coins foil-wrapped to look like poker chips to personalized shot glasses and mini flasks, there are plenty of casino themed gifts available at party supply stores to hand over to guests as they leave.
In short, you can make your casino party as grand or simple as you want. You will need to take your preparation for this, but once done, it will be a great night. No one will forget this soon!
