Organize a premier casino party with Gerald's. We provide professional dealers, quality gaming tables, and all necessary equipment for an authentic Vegas experience.

Gerald's Casino Parties Your Premier Choice for Authentic Vegas Nights

For an unforgettable gaming soirée, begin by selecting a specific theme like a 1920s Speakeasy or a Monte Carlo gala. This dictates decor, dress code, and even the cocktail menu. For a group of 20 guests, secure at least three professional croupiers to manage the core attractions: one for blackjack, one for roulette, and a third for a poker table. Ensure the hired gaming tables are full-sized, typically 7 feet for blackjack and 8 feet for craps, to provide an authentic feel. Offer guests a pre-determined amount of custom-branded chips upon arrival–$500 in fictional value is a solid starting point–to encourage immediate engagement without real financial risk.

Elevate the experience beyond simple card dealing. Incorporate a live jazz trio playing background music or hire a skilled magician for close-up illusions between hands. Your beverage selection should feature at least two signature cocktails aligned with your theme, alongside premium spirits and non-alcoholic options. For food, move beyond simple snacks; a circulating platter of hors d'oeuvres like mini quiches, shrimp cocktail shooters, and beef wellington bites maintains a high-end atmosphere and allows guests to eat without leaving the gaming action for long. Allocate 70% of your entertainment budget to the quality of the dealers and equipment, as their professionalism is the cornerstone of the event's success.

The flow of the evening requires careful planning. Structure the event over a four-hour period. The first hour is for mingling, cocktails, and light instruction for novices. The next two hours constitute the core gaming period. Dedicate the final hour to cashing in chips for raffle tickets or prizes. Awarding non-cash prizes, such as a bottle of fine champagne, a gift certificate for a local restaurant, or a high-tech gadget, for the person with the most chips maintains a fun, competitive spirit. Finalize your guest list and book your entertainment provider at least six weeks in advance, especially for weekend dates, as top-tier talent gets reserved quickly.

Select the "Vegas Royale" package for events with over 75 guests; this option includes a dedicated event coordinator who handles all logistical aspects, from table delivery to staff management. The package features twelve full-sized gaming tables: six for blackjack, two for craps, two for roulette, and two for Texas Hold'em. All necessary equipment, including professional-grade clay chips, custom playing cards, and dealer shoes, is provided. Staffing includes fourteen certified croupiers and a pit boss to oversee the proceedings and resolve any disputes.

For smaller gatherings of 20-50 people, the "Monte Carlo Night" arrangement is a more suitable choice. It provides five tables: two for blackjack, one for roulette, one for poker, and one three-card poker table. This selection comes with five experienced dealers and all requisite accessories. Booking requires a 50% deposit at least 45 days in advance, with the final balance due one week before the event date.  https://bacanaplay-casino.net  is available for cancellations made 30 days prior; a 50% penalty applies for cancellations within 15-29 days.

Customize your entertainment by adding specific game tables. A single craps table with two operators can be added for a flat fee. Alternatively, a baccarat table with a dedicated dealer offers a touch of sophistication. All personnel arrive one hour before the start of your gathering for setup and remain for 30 minutes after for breakdown. The standard operational time for the gaming setup is four hours. Additional hours are billed at a prorated hourly rate per staff member.

The company maintains a strict policy of using fun money only; no real currency is exchanged at the gaming tables. Guests receive a set amount of scrip upon arrival, which they can exchange for chips. At the end of the evening, chips can be redeemed for raffle tickets or auction bids for prizes you provide. This structure ensures compliance with local gaming regulations while maintaining an authentic atmosphere for your get-together.

How to choose the right game package for your event size and budget

Select your gaming package based on the number of active players, which is typically 50-60% of your total guest count. For every 10 guests expected to play simultaneously, allocate one gaming table. This ratio ensures minimal waiting time and maximum engagement for attendees.

Small Gatherings (Up to 50 Guests)

For intimate events with 25-30 active participants, a curated selection of 3-4 tables is sufficient.

• Recommended Mix: One Blackjack table (seats 7), one Roulette table (accommodates 8-10 people standing), and one Poker table (seats 9).
• Budget Allocation: A smaller setup like this concentrates the action. Expect pricing to be based on a minimum 3-hour booking period. Focus your budget on high-demand tables like Blackjack, which offers a fast-paced, social experience.

Medium Events (50-150 Guests)

With 25 to 90 people playing at once, you will need a broader selection of 4 to 9 tables.

1. For a 100-guest event (50-60 active players), a 5-6 table package is optimal.
2. Suggested Combination: Two Blackjack tables, one Roulette, one Craps (accommodates 12-14), one Poker. This variety caters to different skill levels and preferences. Craps, in particular, creates a high-energy focal point for the entertainment.
3. Financial Planning: Packages with 5 or more tables often come with a discounted hourly rate per table. Inquire about package deals that bundle popular games together for a lower price than individual rentals.

Large-Scale Functions (150+ Guests)

For large crowds, calculate one table per 10-12 active players. A gathering of 200 guests means 100-120 people playing, requiring 10-12 tables.

• Table Assortment: Three to four Blackjack tables, two Poker tables, two Roulette wheels, and one large Craps table. Consider adding specialty games like Baccarat or a Money Wheel to provide unique options and manage overflow from more popular tables.
• Cost Management: For large-scale rentals, negotiate all-inclusive packages. These deals often include dealers, delivery, setup, and premium accessories (professional clay chips, high-grade cards) at a fixed price, offering better value than per-item calculations. Request a dedicated pit boss to oversee the gaming floor, which is frequently included in packages of 10 tables or more.

Step-by-step guide to booking and customizing your party timeline

Secure your preferred date by submitting a booking inquiry at least 6-8 weeks in advance for non-peak season events and 3-4 months for holiday gatherings. Our booking calendar fills rapidly, especially for weekends in November and December. Specify your guest count and desired gaming tables in your initial request. This allows us to immediately check availability for dealers and equipment.

Within 48 hours of your inquiry, you will receive a detailed proposal. This document outlines the package, includes a specific quote, and provides a contract for your review. To confirm your reservation, return the signed contract along with a 50% deposit. The remaining balance is due one week before the event date. We accept all major credit cards and bank transfers.

Two weeks before your entertainment, we will contact you to finalize the event timeline. A typical 3-hour entertainment window runs from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Our team arrives 60-90 minutes prior for setup, ensuring all gaming stations are operational before your guests arrive. Specify any access restrictions or specific setup locations, such as a second-floor room or outdoor patio, during this call.

Customize your timeline with specific milestones. For example, you can schedule a 15-minute "learn to play" session for blackjack and poker at 7:15 PM. For corporate functions, plan for award announcements or speeches around 8:30 PM, pausing the gaming for a short period. Communicate these preferences during the finalization call so our staff can manage the flow of the evening seamlessly.

At the end of the gaming period, our dealers will efficiently cash out guests' chips for raffle tickets or prize vouchers. This process takes approximately 10-15 minutes. Teardown and equipment removal require about 45-60 minutes post-event. Plan your venue booking accordingly to accommodate our setup and breakdown schedules.

What to expect on the day of the event: setup, staff roles, and breakdown process

The event team arrives 90 minutes to two hours before your guests to begin setup. This timeframe allows for the careful placement of all gaming tables, such as blackjack and poker, ensuring optimal guest flow and spacing. Equipment is brought in using specialized carts with soft wheels to protect your flooring. All setup activities are completed a minimum of 30 minutes before the scheduled start time, providing a quiet and prepared atmosphere as attendees arrive.

Staff Roles and Responsibilities

Your event is managed by a dedicated team, each with a specific function. The Event Supervisor is your single point of contact throughout the gathering. This individual oversees all logistics, coordinates with the dealing staff, and addresses any questions you might have. Croupiers, assigned to each gaming table, are responsible for managing their specific game, explaining the rules to novices, and distributing fun money or chips. They ensure fair play and maintain a lively, engaging environment for all participants. Support staff assist with the initial equipment positioning and final removal.

The Breakdown Process

Breakdown commences precisely at the agreed-upon end time of the gaming portion of your function. The staff works discreetly to dismantle and remove the equipment. The process is designed to be non-intrusive, especially if your social gathering continues after the gaming has concluded. The team will first clear chips and accessories, then fold and remove the tables. The entire breakdown and load-out operation is typically completed within 60 to 75 minutes, leaving the space as it was found.
