Special Considerations

There are many things to consider when planning a casino themed event.  The staff at Audience Pleasers will be happy to assist you with planning the details of your event.

We will set up the casino equipment and supplies before the event so that when your guests arrive the tables are on display and ready to go.  We work with you to design a floor plan that compliments your event (casino tables, food tables, display tables, etc.).  Dealers arrive and go to their tables a few minutes before the opening of the casino.  Audience Pleasers always provides Casino Manager(s) to oversee your event.

Listed below are important items to keep in mind when planning a Casino Event.

Number of Guests.  The number of guests for the event will determine the number of gaming tables necessary which, in turn, dictates the amount of space required.  It is also possible to work backwards, from the amount of space you have, to the number of tables that can fit within the space, to the number of guests that can be entertained by the amount of tables.

Gaming Tables.  On average, between 70%-80% of your guests will be playing at a gaming table during any given period of time during your party.  Therefore, if you are planning a party with 200 guests, it is typical to provide enough gaming tables to support between 140 and 160 players.  Additionally, you need to consider the types of gaming tables you would like at your party.  Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, Big Six Money Wheel and Texas Hold’em are the five most popular casino games. Audience Pleasers offers a variety of specialty games, such as Caribbean Stud Poker, Let It Ride, Pai Gow Poker, Baccarat, and Red Dog.

Space Required.  Audience Pleasers will gladly visit your party location during the planning stages to determine the number of tables and layout of the tables given the allotted space.

Time Allocation.  A typical Casino Event lasts approximately 4 hours, but we would be happy to tailor it to your needs.  Usually, the gaming tables are open for a 3-hour period.  A half hour prior to the tables opening is designated for the guest to socialize with one another and for the dealers to provide instructions to those guests interested in learning how to play a particular game.  (See Playing the Games for the rules and strategies for games offered by Audience Pleasers).  After the gaming tables close, anywhere from 15 minutes to half an hour is necessary to distribute the event’s prizes and awards.

 Sequence of Events.  Upon arrival each guest receives a predetermined amount of Audience Pleasers Money, typically $200-$300.  The Audience Pleasers Money are exchanged at any of the gaming tables for casino chips.  Guests play at the gaming tables for the allotted period of time.  During the evening, guests may purchase additional Audience Pleasers Money if available.  At the conclusion of the gaming portion of the party, guests will redeem (e.g. “cash in”) all remaining Audience Pleasers Money and casino chips for either raffle tickets or vouchers.  Prizes and awards are distributed either by raffle or auction.

Prizes.  It is left to the host/organizer to supply the awards and prizes for the event.  The Audience Pleasers staff will be happy to assist in distributing the prizes either by raffle, auction, or other means.

Costs.  At Audience Pleasers, we understand expenses are always a major consideration with anyone planning an event, regardless of whether it is a private party for 20 friends or a fundraiser for 300 or more guests.  We share your concerns and have priced our services accordingly.  The staff at Audience Pleasers would be happy to discuss the various ways to provide you with a fun filled night of casino action at a price that will fit within your budget.

Staff.  Audience Pleasers provides professionally trained dealers for all gaming events.

Our events are a unique blend of fun, mixed with professionalism!  You also get what you pay for.  Sometimes a client will cut corners on the most important aspect of their event--the entertainment--but that’s what everyone remembers.  If you think casino tables are all alike, think again.  Not only are our tables beautiful and authentic but our dealers are some of the most personable people you will ever meet.  The owner is an entertainer himself and demands that the dealer’s guidepost is to have fun, so when your guests walk away they feel special.  We guarantee it!

Our Goal:
At the end of the event, we want your guests (as well as your boss, client, and co-workers) to tell YOU what a good job YOU did organizing the casino production.  You don’t need to let them know that you arranged it with just a few phone calls to Audience Pleasers, and we did most of the work for you.
