Can your croupiers dress to follow my cowboy / gangster / James Bond theme?
Yes, we accommodate more or less any theme and have limited props that may help, sometimes free of charge.
Do you do events for stag and hen parties?
Yes! Our poker nights are especially popular for stag parties.
How many tables would I need?
We recommend one table for up to 60 guests, although one table can cope with up to 100 guests over your three hours casino time.
Can I have my casino outside?
Yes, but the tables will need to be under cover in case of rain or strong sun, and the cards can blow away if there is a bit of a breeze! We have provided casinos in professional, substantial marquees without any problems. From experience, we strongly recommend flooring and standby heating regardless of the time of year.
How long does a fun casino normally last?
Our standard casino runs for three continuous hours.
Can I have more than three hours casino time?
Yes! There will be an extra charge of £45 per table, per hour (or part thereof), plus a 15 minute break for each croupier within your casino time. If you're not sure if you will definitely require more casino time, just let us know before your event that it's a possibility so our croupiers know they may need to be flexible when they finish. Of course, you are not obliged to hire us for extra time should you not need it.
