Why have a mobile fun casino?

It is becoming the fastest growing choice of entertainment for: Weddings, Product launches, Fund raising events, anniversaries, parties, corporate entertaining, conferences and balls. We try to make the Casino experience as real as possible but add an element of Fun!

How does a mobile fun Casino operate?

The important thing to remember is that your guests won’t be playing for real money. Each guest will receive a Fun money voucher (Don’t forget we customise the voucher free of charge), this can be sent to you in advance to be handed out or for instance if you have a sit down meal on every place setting. Alternatively we can distribute the voucher for you. Once the casino opens – your guests are invited to exchange the vouchers for casino chips at the gaming tables. Your guests are free to play any of the tables for a set duration, usually 3 hours. Towards the end of the evening – we call out ‘last 3 spins’ which means the casino is closing. Once the casino has closed – we will ask the guests to cash in the chips to determine the winners. PA bottle of Champagne and a Winner’s Plaque will be awarded to the guests who has accumulated the most over the evening.

Do I require a gaming licence?
No – our casinos are run in accordance with the current gaming laws which allow them to be run for entertainment purposes only. There are two important considerations, firstly that the Fun casino is not the first or sole reason for attending the event eg a Fun casino at a wedding – guest are invited to the marriage of the couple and not to the fun casino entertainment. Secondly that no gambling for personal gain is allowed. For more information on this issue please click on the link below:
