How It Works...
It's Not Real Gambling, But Real Fun
We often get asked - how does a Casino Party work when it's not real money? To make it legal, guests and players can not buy chips or put any money in to win a prize. Each guest gets $500 is funny money / chips to start with and the get a ticket for each $500 they have when tables close. Read below for further explanation.
Starting Off
Each person who wants to play the tables games will get $500 in funny money or poker chips.

They will play the tables and "win" or "lose" their chips.
Then at end of table open time, they will cash in and get 1 ticket for each "UP TO" $500.00
Example:
$300 - Rounds up to $500 = 1 ticket
$700 - Rounds up to $1,000 = 2 tickets etc.
Prizes
Prizes Are Up to You
You have full control over the prizes you'd like to offer. Some events keep it simple with $5 to $500 gift cards, while others go big with iPads, flat-screen TVs, or even vacation packages.
We’ve seen everything from a single grand prize to dozens of smaller giveaways—it’s completely up to you.
Tip: Partner with local businesses, vendors, and suppliers to sponsor prizes. It's a great way to build relationships and offset costs.
Please note: We do not provide any prizes.
Prize Distribution
You can have one fishbowl for all the tickets or you can have multiple fishbowls and have on bowl in front of each prize
The multiple fishbowls allow guest to try and win a specific prize.
We suggest one large fishbowl to speed up the process. Guests can stall by trying to select which fishbowl vs. one bowl.
"Funny Money" - We can make custom for you or you can do yourself. This is a great opportunity to have a "funny money" sponsor with their logo on it.
We HIGHLY suggest to not give prizes to the top winners with most money. We have seen it become a popularity contest and it delays prize giveaways because people start giving their chips and causing the count to take much loner.
NO MONEY CAN BE COLLECTED OR ADDITIONAL CHIPS BOUGHT TO GIVE EXTRA ADVANTAGE TO WIN ANY PRIZE.
