Fun Casino Simon's Town — Casino-Themed Event Entertainment

Yes — Gaming Events delivers professional Fun Casino entertainment throughout Simon’s Town and the southern peninsula.

We’re familiar with Simon’s Town’s unique event landscape — its historic waterfront venues, boutique function spaces, naval-adjacent functions and private homes overlooking False Bay — and we plan our logistics carefully to ensure our team arrives on time and fully prepared regardless of the distance from central Cape Town.

Contact us to check availability for your date.

Every Simon’s Town quote is tailored to your specific event — guest count, number of tables, venue and gaming duration all factor in.

Most packages fall between R5,000 and R20,000.

A modest travel contribution may apply for Simon’s Town given the distance from central Cape Town, and this is always confirmed clearly upfront in your quote — no surprises.

Contact us with your date, venue and approximate guest count for a detailed quote within 24 hours.

Our general guide is 1 table per 10 guests. Blackjack accommodates 7 players at a time, roulette seats 8 and poker fits 9.

Simon’s Town events are often more intimate — boutique venue functions of 30 to 80 guests — where one to two tables creates a focused, warm gaming atmosphere that suits the town’s character perfectly.

For larger functions, three tables gives excellent coverage and variety.

We advise on the best configuration once we know your guest count and venue.

Not at all.

Your Casino Manager introduces the games personally on arrival and our croupiers guide every guest through their first hands or spins at the table — most are playing confidently within the first few minutes.

Simon’s Town’s events draw a wide range of guests, from naval personnel and local community members to tourists and peninsula visitors, and our team handles every demographic with equal warmth and professionalism.

Your Casino Manager personally distributes fun money notes to guests on arrival — these can be branded with your naval insignia, company logo, conservation cause branding, event theme or a fully custom design.

Guests exchange their fun money at the tables for chips to play with.

When the fun money runs out — and in Simon’s Town’s competitive, character-filled community it always does — guests head to the Casino Manager, who doubles as the evening’s loanshark, for a cheerful top-up. It adds a wonderfully human dynamic to the evening that guests talk about long after the night ends.

No — never. Every game is played exclusively with fun money notes and play chips that carry no monetary value.

No real gambling takes place at any point. Fun Casino is completely legal under South African law and classified as entertainment — fully appropriate for Simon’s Town’s historic venues, naval functions, private homes and conservation fundraising events without any licensing complications whatsoever

Blackjack suits Simon’s Town’s naval and professional crowd beautifully — the game’s disciplined, strategic format fits naturally in an environment shaped by order and precision, while the social dynamic at the table creates the kind of cross-rank conversation that makes a naval function genuinely memorable.

Roulette brings collective glamour and excitement that works for every guest regardless of background.

For Simon’s Town events where a focused competitive experience is part of the brief, a dedicated poker tournament creates the evening’s most talked-about gaming moment.

A Wheel of Fortune is ideal for conservation fundraising prize draw segments.

Yes — personalised fun money is included in every booking and in Simon’s Town’s distinctive setting it’s one of the most appreciated touches we offer.

Naval insignia, conservation cause branding, Boulders Beach penguin designs, corporate logos or fully custom event artwork all work beautifully.

It’s a detail that sets the tone for the evening from the moment guests receive their notes and creates a memorable keepsake of the occasion.

Yes — we work with heritage buildings and boutique event spaces regularly and are experienced with the specific logistics and care these environments require.

We position tables to protect historic floors and surfaces, coordinate directly with venue managers on access and setup timing and work within any specific requirements your Simon’s Town venue has.

Jubilee Square area venues and the historic buildings along St George’s Street are settings our team genuinely loves working in.

For most Simon’s Town events, 1–2 weeks in advance is perfectly fine.

Given the logistical planning involved in a southern peninsula booking, a little more notice is always appreciated — but we’ll always do our best to accommodate your date.

The exception is year-end functions in November and December — these dates fill up fast across the whole Western Cape, so if you’re planning a Simon’s Town year-end event, book as early as possible.

Contact us and we’ll confirm availability straight away.

No — we factor all southern peninsula route conditions into our logistics planning for every Simon’s Town booking.

We monitor road access in advance and plan alternative routes when needed.

This is built into our travel time and has absolutely no impact on your setup schedule or gaming start time. Your event runs on time, every time.

Yes — we have experience with naval-adjacent and formal military functions and understand the specific protocol, presentation and timing requirements these events carry.

We arrive prepared, present impeccably and operate with the level of formality and professionalism that a naval mess function demands.

Please discuss your specific requirements at enquiry stage so we can brief our team accordingly.

On bookings of 2 or more tables, we include our complimentary Vegas entrance package at no extra cost: a 5-metre red carpet, 4 gold stanchion poles with red velvet ropes and 2 giant dice ottomans.

Against Simon’s Town’s Victorian waterfront backdrop or in one of the town’s historic function spaces, that red carpet entrance creates an unexpected moment of Vegas glamour that guests absolutely love — a brilliant contrast to the town’s maritime heritage that makes the evening feel genuinely unique.

Additional décor available to hire: massive entrance arch, LED light-up dice, LED marquee letters, Vegas backdrop, Casino LED sign, Welcome to Vegas sign and more.

It’s one of the most effective fundraising formats for exactly this kind of community-driven event.

Simon’s Town’s conservation community is passionate and generous, and Fun Casino amplifies that generosity beautifully — the fun money buy-in translates directly into donations, the entertainment sustains engagement across a full evening and the Casino Manager ensures every guest participates throughout.

We help design the format to align with your specific cause, whether it’s penguin conservation at Boulders Beach, False Bay marine protection or any other Simon’s Town environmental initiative.
