About fun casinos
What is a fun casino?
A fun casino is a mobile casino brought to your event: casino tables such as roulette, blackjack, poker and baccarat, run by professional croupiers. Guests play with fun money instead of real cash, and the top players usually win prizes at the end of the night.
Is a fun casino legal?
Yes. Because guests play with fun money that has no cash value and don’t pay to play, a fun casino is entertainment, not gambling. Prizes for the winners are fine. Charity fundraising nights follow the Gambling Act 2005 rules on non-commercial gaming, and we’re happy to explain how they work.
Do my guests need to know how to play?
Not at all. Our croupiers teach the rules as they deal, and most guests are playing confidently within a few minutes. Many of our biggest winners have never played before!
Which games can I choose?
Roulette, blackjack, Texas Hold’em, Omaha, 3 card poker, 5 card poker, 7 card stud and baccarat. See our casino tables page to compare them.
Planning your event
How many tables do I need?
Allow one table per 20 to 30 guests. Two tables suit around 50 guests, and three or four create a full casino atmosphere for 100 or more.
How much space do the tables need?
Allow roughly 3m x 3m per table including space for players, on a level floor indoors. Please tell us in advance if the room is not on the ground floor or has difficult access, as some equipment is large.
How long does the casino run?
Our quotes are usually based on two and a half to three hours of dealing time. Shorter sessions from one hour and longer bookings are available.
How early do you arrive to set up?
We arrive in plenty of time to set everything up before your guests are ready to play, usually 45 to 60 minutes before the start time. We’ll agree timings with you and your venue in advance.
What do the croupiers wear?
Our croupiers wear smart casino attire, typically a waistcoat and bow tie. Let us know if you have a theme or dress code.
Can I personalise the fun money?
Yes. We design personalised fun money with your names, photo, logo or event details. A design fee of around £50 applies.
Do you provide prizes?
Yes. Our party packages include a surprise prize for the winner: a bottle of Prosecco and a box of chocolates. We’re also happy to present any extra prizes you provide yourself.
Booking & payment
How much does fun casino hire cost?
A single table with a croupier starts from £195, two to three table packages typically cost £475 to £900, and larger events start from around £900. See our price guide.
How do I secure my booking?
A non-refundable deposit, usually £50, secures your date. You can pay by card or PayPal. See our terms and conditions.
Are you insured?
Yes. We hold £5 million public liability insurance. Copies are available on request for your venue.
Which areas do you cover?
Bristol and the surrounding area, including Bath, Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Somerset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Newport. See areas we cover.
Photo booths
What’s included with photo booth hire?
Unlimited prints, personalised print design, a DSLR camera, props, video messaging, a professional attendant, a guest book album for weddings and digital copies of every photo.
Can I book a photo booth and a casino together?
Yes, and bundling them costs less than booking separately. It’s our most popular combination for weddings.
