What is included

The working parts of a casino-style event

A casino night brings tables, game equipment, play chips or fun money, and dealers into a wider celebration. Guests never wager real money at the tables. Instead, they can learn a new game like baccarat, watch live action at the craps table, play for entertainment, or move between the casino floor and the rest of the program.

The quote process brings those pieces together around the venue, access window, guest count, desired playing time, and complete event schedule. The appropriate table mix is different for a reception with speeches than it is for a fundraiser, a home gathering, or holiday celebration.

  • Casino tables and the equipment needed for the selected games.
  • Play chips or fun money for entertainment-only play.
  • Event dealers who can introduce the games as guests join.
  • Delivery, setup, event coordination, and removal reflected in the formal quote.

Choose by event purpose

Start with what else must happen in the room

Choose the corporate planning path when the casino must work around a company program, conference, client reception, or team event. That page focuses on schedules, professional settings, branding conversations, venue access, and the needs of mixed groups.

Use the fundraiser path when an organizer is also coordinating sponsors, auctions, raffles, prizes, recognition, or an appeal. The organizer remains responsible for fundraising mechanics and any jurisdiction-specific requirements; the casino portion is planned as entertainment within that larger program.

The holiday and Christmas planning page covers year-end schedules, seasonal themes, inclusive wording, and the separate five-table holiday minimum. For a birthday, poker night, reunion, or gathering in a residence or private room, the home-party guide starts with usable space, access, furniture, weather protection, and guest flow.

How it works

A flexible activity inside your wider event

The casino floor can open after dinner, run alongside networking, support a fundraiser program, or anchor a private celebration. Guests can join at their own pace while the rest of the event continues around the games.

  • Start with the guest count, room layout, and available playing time.
  • Choose a mix of approachable and higher-energy games.
  • Coordinate opening, announcements, prizes, and closing with the event schedule.
  • Use fun money or play chips rather than real-money wagering at the tables.

Table planning

Plan the floor around your guest list

Plan table capacity for 60% of guests to play at one time, with guests rotating naturally between games, conversation, food, and the rest of the event.

Active player planning
60%
Standard minimum
three tables

Casino events require at least three tables. Some event types, including holiday casino events, have higher minimums. Availability depends on the event details and is confirmed through the quote process.

Games and enhancements

Build a mix guests can understand and move through

Blackjack, roulette, craps, poker, and specialty games create different rhythms on the floor. A useful mix normally includes approachable choices for first-time players as well as higher-energy tables that guests can gather around. Review the current games and table options before requesting a quote.

Optional enhancements may include Derby Dash Horse Racing, a photo experience, karaoke, sound support, or bartending services when appropriate and available for the event. Treat them as optional parts of the wider plan rather than assumptions in every casino package.

  • Match the game mix to the guest profile and expected playing window.
  • Leave room for dining, conversation, announcements, and other entertainment.
  • Ask about current enhancement options when preparing the formal quote.
  • Confirm venue rules, access, power, and space before finalizing the plan.

Pricing and booking

Use the event details to build the right quote

Pricing depends on the selected games, number of tables, event duration, location, venue access, and any optional services. The pricing page is a useful early planning tool, but a formal quote is the place to document the exact scope. Use the pricing guide and quote journey to compare table count, dealing time, and optional enhancements before requesting a tailored proposal.

Before starting, gather the event date, venue address, estimated attendance, usable playing window, preferred games, access restrictions, and the times reserved for meals, speeches, auctions, awards, or other activities. You can then start the quote journey or contact Metro Casino Events to discuss the next step. Alternate dates and an accurate floor plan can make that initial review more useful.
