Unlike most companies that require 50% deposit,
we at Florida Casino Parties require only a 25%
down payment (of the total party cost) to reserve
your the tables and most importantly the dealers.
The balance of 75% is paid when the party is finished
by check or cash. If credit card payment is
desired, just let us know 48 hours prior to the
event and we will generate a secure link to our
credit card processing company so that you may
process the payment in the comfort of your home or
office.

The most common question people ask when they
hear about casino parties is, "Is this legal?"
The
answer is YES. What makes it legal is that in
spite of the appearance of a casino, there is no
actual gambling going on. It's all make-believe,
pretend, fantasy gambling. You can bet as much as
you want, lose as much as you want and win as much
as you want, and you walk away with the same
amount of money you started with. That's because
only play money is used, usually in the form of
chips, that have no real monetary value. And even
though most people will play the games just for
the fun of playing (or the education and
experience they can gain), sometimes it makes the
whole event more exciting if there is something to
shoot for a reward for being "number one."
That's
why most casino theme
parties provide one or more non-cash prizes for
the guests that earn the highest winnings (or
chips) by the end of the event. Prizes can be as
elaborate as a new car, a trip to Las Vegas, or a
wide-screen television set. Or they can be as
simple as a free lunch at a local restaurant or a
plaque or other type of award. Guests can be any
age to play.

The term "Casino Theme
Party" is used to describe an event, where
people come together to play games commonly found
in casinos in Las Vegas, Monte Carlo or Atlantic
City, but do not actually wager money or other
things of value. A casino
themed party may be held as a fund-raiser
activity for a non-profit charity organization,
Texas Hold-em Tournament or it may be a private
celebration held by an individual, group or
employer.
The major
difference between the two is that those who
attend a fund-raising casino party are usually
asked to make a donation for admission to the
event, whereas those who attend a private casino
party are usually simply invited to come and have
fun. At either event, guests arrive to find a
variety of casino games available for their
amusement (Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, Poker or
Texas Hold-em, Slot Machines and more). Guests are
usually given a fixed amount of
"Funny Money".
This play money can be personalize with your
company logo, picture of the CEO,
Birthday person's picture,
etc. Guests then take their play money to
their favorite game table in exchange for chips
and try to win as much
as they can during the course of the evening. At
the end of the evening, the guests turn in their
chips for raffle tickets. Prizes can be raffled
off or an auction can be held and guests can bid
on prizes with their raffle tickets.

When choosing prizes for your event finding the
right product for your guests can be a challenge.
Below you will find some ideas to help you.
Consider the following criteria when picking your
prizes: § The item should be of high quality so
that it reflects positively on your event. § It
should be something that the majority of your
guest would want. § Its brand name should be
recognizable in a positive way. Gift certificates
can make great prizes. You could offer restaurant
certificates, specialty retail stores
certificates, American Express gift checks and the
like. If you have a small dollar budget, things
like movie passes, lottery tickets, Blockbuster
video rentals and car washes can make good prizes.
The latest electronic equipment make great prizes.
Todays hot products in electronics are: DVD
Players; Digital cameras; Video Game units (Xbox);
Electronic Organizers (Palm Pilot or Visor). If
you dont have the time to get the prizes. For an
administrative fee (of 18%) we will do it for you!
Just ask us.

We include 3
hours of playing time. This is usually more
than adequate, especially if your event has other
activities. We will work with you to determine the
best schedule for the casino portion of your
event. Setup and breakdown are not part of your 3
hours.
Please
note that we can setup prior to your guest
arriving at no extra cost and the dealers can show
up 15 minutes prior to the casino event starting.
We recommend the event to start half an hour to an
hour after your guest arriving. For example: If
your invitations call for 7:00pm, we can setup no
later than 6:30pm and the dealers would arrive at
7:45pm to start dealing at 8:00pm until 11:00pm.

Tipping our dealers is not expected. If you
feel someone goes above and beyond, you may feel
free to tip them at your discretion.

We will work with you and the venue to
determine the best time to setup. Usually we
deliver and setup well before the start of your
event so its all ready when your guests arrive.
We remove our equipment upon
termination of the casino event..
