Hire of casino games?

Impet_Limpet

Was considering hiring a couple of casino games. For example Roulette and Texas hold em. We had a casino royale night via work last year and it was a great laugh!!

It is for our evening do at a hotel and there are going to be a max of 100 people. I don't think there will be people playing all the time!
This is dependant on whether we can afford it/think the novelty will be worth the cost!

Does anyone know of any websites that display the price for their packages? Only because many offer email quotations but the one I like the look of asks for my budget but I don't know! (I don;t want them to laugh at me, and I don;t want to be ripped off)

Whereabouts are you? The reason for asking is so I can check and see what I have got in my files (I collect information from all areas).

I'm quite interested in this too but really don't have much money for it. In Southport, Merseyside. Only need a blaxkjack table or roulette or similar.
Thank you!

I'm in the South East, and we're having a roulette table and a blackjack table at our 'do'. I had varying quotes from £350 to £450, but I've opted for a local firm at £375. They were really helpful during the booking process and gave me some really useful advice when I was considering a "wheel of fortune", which they advised was only useful if children were going to be present.

I couldn't find anywhere that offered poker; but that can be a very long drawn out game, and they recommended not having people sat around the tables for too long.

Given that many places won't have a gambling licence, you will be supplied with 'fake money' and allowed to exchange that for chips to play. Ours will do a play-off at the end of the night, and we will buy the winner and 2nd place prizes to give out.

LOL I love them! Shame we have no space around our venue otherwise I'd be having them.

OH just looked at them: "no, we are NOT having them" was the response. I secretly think she and I would be the only ones on them all night ;-)

we were quoted by a "national" company for roulette and blackjack £80, the croupiers £100 (x2) each and then £40 for door to door delivery, but it wouldn't include the tables and some other things I haven't figured out yet. It's their budget package "casino in a box"

anyone any comments - is this similiar to what you got is there anything i should be careful of?

We looked at these - http://www.casinoknights.co.uk/prices.html
saw them at a wedding fayre, it was one of those 'would like to if we have the money' things - which soon got pushed way down the bottom of the list and we didn't have the money for!!!
Would still like the idea for a big party or something though!
