Answers to the most commonly asked questions
The simple answer is no. The Gambling Act 2005 allows you to host a fun casino for charitable or non-commercial purposes without a licence. If you are not playing for real money and prizes are awarded for winners that do not exceed £600 total value, then you won’t need a licence. Prizes are allowed to be given to winners on the night. If you are running a charity event, you can charge money for tickets and this can include the gaming tables. Further information can be found at the Gambling Commission website.
This isn’t a problem. Learning how to play the games is part of the fun. Our experienced and friendly croupiers will always be happy to explain the games and show people how to play. Most casino games are easier than you think.
We do not exclude children from playing. It isn’t really gambling, they are just playing games essentially. We do ask parents to approach with their children and provide permission when they initially play.
A good rule of thumb is one table for every 30 to 50 guests. You may want more if it is a corporate event or if the casino is the main source of entertainment for the evening. We are always happy to advise on the right number for your specific event.
Each quote is unique and bespoke to your event as there are many variables involved. The starting point is having a firm date and venue. If you don’t have these yet, let us know the month, city, approximate number of guests and type of event. You can get an online quotation here.

It is always best to book as far in advance as you can to avoid disappointment. We are an in-demand company with a history of premium events, so early booking is essential. We always try to accommodate last minute bookings wherever possible, but the price may be higher to account for logistics and staffing.
We carry Roulette, Blackjack, Poker (Texas Hold’em and variants), 3 Card Poker, Craps/Dice, Baccarat, and a number of lesser-known games. We also supply lighting, sound systems, props and theming to complete the experience. Visit our games page for more detail on each game.
A typical booking is 2 to 3 hours running as a single continuous block. We can accommodate longer hours or split timing, which works especially well for charity fundraisers where the casino runs alongside other activities.
Every game is different in terms of space requirements. We send out a full dimensions document after booking so you and your venue know exactly what is needed. If you have any concerns about space beforehand, just get in touch and we can advise.
For larger setups we require the equipment to be under cover to protect it from rain. For smaller outdoor events we can be more flexible, but we would need to see photos of the space or carry out a site visit first. A backup plan in case of rain is always required.
Yes, fun money is included as standard and we have several designs available. We can also create custom fun money featuring your company logo or personalised branding. We design the money ourselves and you will have a chance to approve the design before your event.
