How It Works
Booking a casino night for the first time should be the easy part of planning your event. It is. We bring everything, we set everything up, we run the tables, and we clear it all away, so on the night, you’re a guest at your own party. Here is exactly how it works, from your first message to the last spin of the wheel.
The Fun-Money Promise
Before anything else, the question every first-time booker asks: is this gambling? No. This is entertainment, and we want you completely comfortable on that point before you read another word.
- No real money is ever wagered. Every guest plays with Royale fun money, tokens with no cash value. There is nothing to lose.
- No gambling licence is required: not by you, not by your venue. Fun casino hire is non-commercial entertainment under the Gambling Act 2005.
- No experience needed, ever. Our professional croupiers teach every guest at the table. Someone who has never held a playing card will be laughing and playing within minutes.
- It’s for everyone. Weddings, corporate evenings, charity nights, milestone birthdays. The games are the icebreaker; the fun money keeps it light.
That’s the promise. The glamour and theatre of a real casino, with none of the risk.
Our Six Steps
1. Enquire
Tell us your date, your venue (or rough location), and roughly how many guests you expect. A sentence is enough to start. Call, email, WhatsApp, or use the quote form, whatever suits you.
2. Your tailored quote
We recommend the right Collection for your guest count and event type, and send a clear, all-in quote, tables, croupiers, fun money, setup, breakdown and insurance, with no hidden extras. You’ll have it within a few hours, usually the same day.
3. Confirm and secure your date
Happy with the quote? A deposit secures your date in the diary. From that moment, it’s in hand.
4. Pre-event planning
We agree your final game selection, talk through the room and timing, and sort any personalised touches, fun money printed with your names or logo, custom chips, branded table cloths. We liaise with your venue or planner directly so you don’t have to.
5. We arrive and set up
On the day, our team arrives 60–90 minutes before the casino opens, fully self-sufficient. Tables are dressed, croupiers are briefed on your event, and everything is ready before your first guest walks in.
6. You play, we run the night
Your croupiers host the room, welcoming first-timers, keeping the energy up, making sure every guest feels part of it. When the session ends, we break down and clear everything cleanly. You’re left with nothing to tidy and a room full of guests still talking about it.
What’s Included in Every Hire
- Full-size, professional casino tables
- Trained, uniformed croupiers, one per table
- Fun money for all guests
- A standard 3-hour casino session (extended sessions available)
- Delivery, setup and breakdown within the M25

What’s Not Included
We’d rather you know up front than be surprised. The following sit outside a standard hire:
- Real-money play: there is none; this is entertainment only
- Permanent or fixed installation: our tables are set up for your event and removed afterwards
- External PA, staging or lighting: we light and dress the tables; venue AV is separate
- Travel beyond the M25: covered, but quoted separately as a travel supplement
A Word on Pricing
Every event is priced individually, because every event is different, the number of tables, the session length, your venue’s location and any personalised extras all play a part. Rather than a one-size-fits-all price list, you’ll get a clear, all-in quote built around your event, within 24 hours, with no surprises on the night. Tell us what you’re planning and we’ll give you an honest figure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do my guests need to know how to play?
No. Teaching guests is what our croupiers do best. Every table comes with a professional who explains each game in plain English and welcomes complete beginners. No one is ever left feeling out of their depth.
How much space do the tables need?
As a guide, a standard table needs around 3m × 2m of clear floor space, including room for guests to stand and play. We confirm exact requirements once we know your game selection, and we’re happy to advise on your room.
How far in advance should we book?
The sooner the better for popular dates, peak season (December, and May–September weekends) books up early. That said, we’ll always try to help with shorter notice, so do ask even if your date is close.
What happens if something goes wrong on the night?
It doesn’t, and that’s the point, our team is experienced, fully insured, and self-sufficient. Your croupiers handle the tables; for larger events, a dedicated event manager oversees everything. You enjoy the night; we handle the detail.
