At its most basic level, the act establishes that gambling is only allowed to be hosted by licensed proprietors via remote technologies (television and the internet being the main examples) and/or on licensed premises. The act also set up the Gambling Commission of Great Britain to regulate the gambling industry.

So do you need to know? Well, if you’re going to put on a gambling night for your corporate event, party or fundraiser, you must not use real money outside of a casino or other licensed premises. Under 18s are also prohibited from gambling under any circumstances.

With this in mind, so-called ‘Fun Casinos’ can be a lot more appropriate. They can be booked for any event  and offer the advantages of no age restriction, and a reduced pressure environment meaning your guests may even have a better time. Fun casinos only use fake money, everyone gets to play the games, but no one loses. Most companies offering ‘Fun Casinos’ will provide everything for you, including croupiers, games, themes and entertainment. For a full list of services for themes for parties see: partycasinohire.co.uk

If you’re putting on a casino night for a fundraiser, you will most likely have sold tickets to the event and want to offer some sort of incentive for your guests having bought them. Since the chips at a fun casino night cannot be exchanged for real money, a good idea is to give out prizes to the winners in place of the money they would have won playing roulette. Be careful not to spend all the ticket money on prizes though – it is meant to be for charity after all!

If you are outside of England, Scotland and Wales then the Gambling Act (2005) doesn’t apply to you. However, this type of gambling legislation is very common, so make sure you know what the law is in  your area before putting on your night.

For UK residents, more details on this act can be found in the government’s explanatory notes at: http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2005/en/ukpgaen_20050019_en_1.htm

The most fun events in my opinion are the corporate ones, where your boss can loose all his fake money to you. It’s just so fun seeing your workmates in a totally different atmoshpere and situations than the office ones. It’s really a lot of fun, if you know how to loose!

Casual casino parties can be a blast as well, the atmosphere is different, it’s a lot easier to relax when you’re surrounded by your friends, the more of you there is, the more fun and the less it costs, as you can split the costs between your mates.

Some guests can be a real pain when organising beverages for them while planning your party. Some can be very picky in what they drink or eat, others can be vegetarians or worse, vegans! It’s one of those things you really have to remember prior to organising the party, it won’t spoil much if one random person is vegan and there’s nothing for that person as you can always sort something out in a hurry, but what if that one person is your boss? Changes the situation, doesn’t it?

You can get some discount beverages in Iceland for example, they always sell party food and it’s cheap to buy and easy to prepare, it all depends on your budget where you’re going to go for your stomach needs. If you have a high budget, and after renting your casino equipment you still have money to spare, it’s sometimes wise to invest in a butler and a full blown catering company. If your casino hire party is not just a simple meetup of your friends but is turned into a large corporate event you should really do it all proper and not try to save money.

The whole wedding can be themed in James Bond theme or in Las Vegas theme, you can experience a real american style wedding with casino theme all round and tables for guests to play roulette, poker and other games of your choice!

There’s many props that can be hired for this special occasion to make your wedding even more unique and exciting. Just imagine this unforgettable experience for your guests when they turn up and they can see big signs from “Las Vegas” and poker tables and black jack machines.

In United States weddings in Las Vegas are very popular and for many the haste of getting married payed off in years of happy marriage that all started with one crazy night in a casino.
Hire mobile casino to make your wedding a custom, fun filled casino, vegas-like experience!

That’s why the most popular themes such as 007 or Wild West involved a lot of costumes and props. Dress every guest in a theme costume, men in suits and women in costumes of bond girl’s and everyone will have a great night!
Make sure to book costumes for your guests in advance and make sure that they have the right sizes and you’ll create unforgettable party and a gambling experience that will stay in their memories forever.
Mix it up with good props and great drinks and a professional croupier in a costume too and you have a party that everyone will enjoy.

There’s few things you can do to make sure that your guests don’t drink too much, too early and don’t want to change the theme of the party from “Las Vegas” or “James Bond” into “Wrestling” or similar.

When preparing drinks, ensure that there is enough ice to melt over time and make the drinks a bit weaker on the head. Do same with Vodka, if the bottles are in reach of visitors it’s best to ensure that they don’t contain any extra strong alcohol.

Use a barman or barmaid to serve drinks, a good costume will ensure that the theme is still current and will add to the experience, and an experienced person sees when a guest have had enough drinking and should go back to the table to sober up while spending fake money on the table.

My favourite attraction is roulette hire, a full sized table is usually around £190 and it occupies up to 30 of your guests!

Any card games for your casino hire night are always cool, I remember that movie about the poker player, can’t remember the title, but poker really struck me as the most popular and coolest of casino games. My favourite styles are Texas Hold ‘Em and Caribbean Stud Poker. Again, a table keeps 30 of your guests playing cards and usually comes at the same price, £190.

Dice Craps are another one of those classic casino games that is a must in a good casino night. If your guests don’t play poker, you can always rent a blackjack table and play blackjack instead.

Definitely the best thing about Casino parties are the themes. There’s so many to chose from!
Most popular themes are: James Bond, Las Vegas, Wild West and Monte Carlo.

With a theme party you can enrich the experience with costumes and extra accessories and games, so that your guests can experience a different world and escape from reality into your own gambling filled world.
