Fun Casino Entertainment – Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some of the most common questions we receive about Fun Casino Entertainment by Gaming Events. If you’re planning a casino-themed event and would like more information, feel free to contact us and our team will be happy to assist.

Gaming Events provides professional fun casino entertainment for corporate events, private parties, fundraisers, and celebrations across Cape Town and South Africa.

What casino games are available?

We offer a selection of the most popular and easy-to-learn casino games, including Blackjack, Roulette, Texas Hold’em Poker, and Dice tables.

These games are ideal for events because they can be learnt in just a few minutes, allowing guests to start playing immediately without wasting valuable entertainment time.

Our professional dealers guide guests through the games, ensuring that everyone – from beginners to experienced players – enjoys the experience.

How many casino tables will I need for my event?

The number of casino tables required depends on several factors, including the number of guests attending, the size of the venue, and your available budget.

As a general guideline, we recommend approximately one casino table for every 20–30 guests. This ensures that guests have plenty of opportunities to participate without long waiting times.

We can cater for events of any size, from small private parties to large corporate events of 1,000 guests or more.

Blackjack tables generally accommodate more players than Poker or Roulette tables, making them a popular choice for larger events.

What size are the casino tables and will they fit in my venue?

All our casino tables are standard gaming-size tables, designed to create an authentic casino experience while fitting comfortably into most venues.

Typical table sizes include:

• Blackjack & Stud Poker tables: approximately 1.7 metres long
• Roulette & Texas Hold’em tables: approximately 2.3 metres long

Roulette and Blackjack tables are standing-height tables, which allows guests to move easily between tables and allows more players to participate.

Texas Hold’em Poker tables require 10 chairs, which are typically supplied by the venue.

For best results, casino tables are usually placed against a wall or in corners, leaving space for guests to move freely between games.

How does a fun casino event work?

A fun casino event recreates the excitement of a real casino using professional gaming tables and dealers, but without real money gambling.

Guests receive Funny Money (casino play money) when they arrive and exchange it for casino chips at the tables. These chips are used to play games such as Blackjack, Roulette, and Poker.

Professional dealers host the tables, explain the rules, and ensure that everyone enjoys the experience.

Can guests win prizes?

Due to regulations set by the Gambling and Racing Board, prizes cannot be awarded directly as a result of casino game outcomes.

However, hosts can still offer prizes for fun categories such as:

• Best dressed guest
• Most entertaining player
• Most enthusiastic participant
• Player with the most flair

This keeps the event exciting and competitive while remaining compliant with regulations.

We have never played casino games before. Can we still participate?

Absolutely.

Our friendly and professionally trained dealers guide guests through the rules of each game and assist beginners throughout the evening.

Casino games used at events are designed to be easy to learn, allowing everyone to join in the fun within minutes.

What is your booking policy?

To secure your event date and casino tables, we require a 50% deposit upon booking.

The remaining 50% balance is payable 48 hours before the event.

Once your deposit is received, your booking is confirmed and your equipment and dealers are reserved for your event.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking as early as possible to secure your preferred date.

However, because we have a large stock of casino tables and experienced staff, we can often accommodate last-minute bookings depending on availability.

How long does it take to set up the casino tables?

Setup time depends on the number of tables required, but typically takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour.

Our team usually arrives 2–3 hours before your event begins to ensure that everything is fully set up and ready before guests arrive.

Do you provide fun casino entertainment outside the Western Cape and Gauteng?

Yes.

Gaming Events provides fun casino entertainment across South Africa, including Cape Town, Johannesburg, and other major cities.

For events outside the Western Cape or Gauteng, additional charges may apply for transport, staff travel, and accommodation.

We can also assist with international casino-themed events if required.

Are guests under 18 allowed to attend fun casino events?

No.

Due to regulations relating to gaming-themed entertainment, guests under the age of 18 are not permitted to attend fun casino events.

This ensures compliance with local gaming regulations.
