1920s Casino Night Hire London
Art deco glamour, dealt in full.
Prohibition America, speakeasy glamour, the roaring twenties. Whether you’re going full Gatsby or a broader art deco or 1920s theme, casino tables are the natural centrepiece. The games played in the 1920s, roulette, blackjack, craps, are the same games we run today, and they look exactly right against a period-appropriate backdrop.
Recommended Games
Roulette is the period-authentic centrepiece. The roulette wheel was already a fixture of glamorous gaming rooms by the 1920s, and its visual drama, the spin, the ball, the sweep of chips, makes it the natural anchor for any 1920s-themed event. Position it in the middle of the room where it can be seen.
Blackjack was the card game of the era, fast, social, and accessible. It keeps high volumes of guests in play simultaneously and pairs well with roulette as your main deal table.
Craps brings the noise. Nothing creates a crowd quite like a craps table in full swing, the energy is infectious, the theatre is genuine, and it’s entirely in period. If you want spectacle, craps delivers it.
Styling Notes
The 1920s palette is black, gold and deep jewel tones. Art deco geometry, chevrons, sunbursts, stepped patterns, on any printed material. Table felt in black or dark green. Feather centrepieces, candlelight, a jazz soundtrack.
The key principle: put the casino tables at the centre of the room, not the edges. In the twenties, the game was the social occasion, not an optional activity tucked away from the main party. Set the room around the tables and the atmosphere follows naturally.
Dress code matters. Flapper dresses and white tie on the guests lift the room in a way no décor can replicate. State it clearly on the invitation and hold it at the door.
For cocktails, stick to the period: Bee’s Knees, French 75, Sidecar, Southside. Brief your bar team and put the menu on the tables.
