How much does fun casino hire cost in Bristol?

Short answer: Typical fun casino hire in Bristol starts from around £250–£500 for a basic single-table session and ranges to £600–£1,200+ for multi-table or premium packages. Final price depends on number of tables, dealers, travel, and optional add-ons.

At VIP Fun Casinos, we personally review every request and tailor packages to customer needs. For smaller parties in the local Bristol area, we sometimes go as low as £165 for a single table hire with a professional croupier. Every booking is different — some clients just request a dealer, others want a roulette wheel with layout and croupier. These flexible options can result in cheaper quotes compared to standard packages.

What affects the price of fun casino hire?

Understanding what drives cost will help you get an accurate quote. Typical factors include:

Number of tables & game types – Each table (Blackjack, Roulette, Poker) needs a dedicated dealer. More tables = higher cost.
Dealer hours & staff count – Suppliers often charge per dealer per hour with a minimum number of hours.
Package inclusions – Table hire only or croupier hire only vs full service (dealers, chips, fun money, prizes, etc). Full service costs more.
Location & travel – Travel time and mileage for teams outside supplier base add to the price.
Event date & demand – Weekends, weddings, Christmas and New Year attract higher rates.
Optional extras – Photo booth add-ons, themed decor, personalised fun money, or prize handling increase the fee.

What to avoid when booking a fun casino in Bristol

When comparing prices, be cautious of offers that look too good to be true. Common red flags include:

Companies with no or poor reviews — Always check Google and Facebook ratings before booking.
Suppliers based far away — Extra mileage fees can quickly inflate the cost.
Low insurance cover — Public liability insurance under £5 million may not meet venue requirements.
Wrong Public Liability Insurance category — Avoid companies registered as decorators or general event planners rather than entertainment suppliers.
Generic stock photos only — Reputable companies proudly show real photos of their casino tables, dealers, and past events.
Limited games or amateur dealers— Some small or new operators only offer one (max two) game type or can use inexperienced croupiers. A professional casino hire company should provide a variety of tables (Roulette, Blackjack, Club Poker, 3,5 Card Poker, Baccarat etc...) with trained, friendly staff who know how to entertain your guests.

Choosing a trusted local company like VIP Fun Casinos ensures professional service, authentic equipment, and peace of mind.
