Fundraising and Charity Nights

Fun Casino Nights are a great way of raising much needed funds for your sports club or charity.

There are a number of ways in which to run a fundraising casino night. One method that we suggest is that each guest purchases a certain amount of fun money chips for a certain amount of real money donation. An example might be $100 in chips for €20. Also if your event is a fundraising event you could cover the basic cost of your fun casino from the sale of tickets, as you would with a band or a disco or through business sponsorship.  This then ensures that all proceeds from the sale of fun money go to the charity or association.

The casino tables are then opened for business and the fun begins!! 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!

One running order for a large group would to split your group in two. Group 1 plays for one hour, then break for finger food (while we count up the chips), then Group 2 plays for one hour. The action really hots up towards closing time as people try to get among the prize-winners, allow fifteen minutes or so to count up and compile the list of prize-winners. The climax of the night is when the say top 5 or 7 guest who have won the most during the evening play off on blackjack or poker for the prizes.

Another option is to have the casino open for a shorter period around 1 hour as an additional extra at the start or break of a larger event such as ball.

Prizes can be anything from a bottle of wine, dvd player to a holiday and can be presented to the “best” or “worst” gamblers. If you are fund raising, a selection of prizes, well publicised, will always improve the take! (Often businesses may be interested in sponsoring or donating prizes).

The are a number of additional methods of raising funds then on the night. We will be running Play Your Cards Right through the event and guests can pay for the chance to win extra chips though this. Raffles and draws can take place for additional spot prizes. Auctions can take place for additional items.
