The Casino party theme is extremely popular for office parties and can be held either in a rented casino, hotel or in your office. Of course you can even throw your very own casino party for your close friends and family, you can even hold it in your own home.
If you’re in charge of organizing your office casino party theme then you will be pleased to learn that yes you can hire everything and everyone you need to run the party. You can get casino staff or private casino party organisers to come over and bring all that is required, leaving you to concentrate on everything else (of which there are many).
Casino Party Invitations
The first thing you need to do is to send out your casino party invitations. Consider printing them off in one of the following before sending them out:
1. Playing Cards
2. Poker Chips
3. Roulette Wheel
4. Dollar Sign
In addition you should also start up your own Facebook group for your party! Everything is done on Facebook these days and it’ll give you the advantage of being able to hype up your party as the day approaches! In addition to this, your Facebook group will be able to tell your guests about any changes to the original plan. But finally, the best thing about creating a group is so that you can upload all your party images and videos to the group after the party has finished, so that there is a lasting memory for all to come back to.
Casino Party Games
The 5 games I would include would be:
1. Blackjack
2. 21
3. Poker
4. Craps
5. Roulette
All five of these games are easy to learn and extremely fun. Remember that if you’re hiring out casino staff, they will most likely bring everything that is needed to play these games. If you’re not hiring out your own staff then you will probably need to invest in a few things to make sure you’re able to play the games, make sure you have the following:
1. Playing cards
2. Chips
3. Card shuffler
4. Roulette wheel
5. Dice
Casino Party Decorations
It’s your decorations that will really make your casino party stand out from the rest, you really should put quite a lot of effort into this part of your arrangements. Here are a few ideas, you should pick and choose from what you like:
1. Consider placing novelty dice, playing cards, poker chips and dollar sign confetti around the playing tables.
2. Deck out the tables with casino table cloths. You can get Las Vegas table cloths online with dollar signs on.
3. Get some casino bunting for the walls, they have yet more dollar signs on.
4. How about getting one of those chocolate fountains. Your guests can make their own chocolate strawberries from the fountain.
5. You should make a big effort on your main doorway. You can get big “high roller” kits to place up around your doorways to really make the place stand out.

Casino Party Ideas – Things To Consider
You need to make a decision early on about whether you will be playing for real money! I can tell you now that the vast majority of Casino theme parties DO NOT play for real money, though there is nothing stopping your party from doing so.
Though do consider charging an up front flat fee to be paid with your guests invitation response. This money can be pooled together and then you can play with chips with no real monetary value throughout the night. Whoever has the highest value of chips at the end wins the lot (unless you want a second and third prize etc).
This way your casino party theme night remains fun for everybody and nobody loses more than anybody else.
Casino Party Music
The casino party theme is probably the only party theme where I would advocate Karaoke. While casinos are fun, the truth is that not all the guests will be into gambling. This will be even more so if the party is a work event. People will be there because they feel obligated to attend so it is important that you have something for everybody. Karaoke will add a real casino feel to the event and bring an extra element of fun. Drew’s Famous Casino Party Music
Casino Party Food
Just like when you’re at the casino, simply finger foods will do fine. You should also have a large spread of all the usual sandwiches for everybody to pick and choose from. With organizing everything else, perhaps you could have a caterer from outside bring in all the food. This will free up more of your time.
You could also consider having a waiter at the party. This will add an extra element of class and grandeur, associated with casinos.
Casino Party Drinks
The whole range, whatever your guests want. If you’re charging it to the company, consider hiring a bartender. If you want to go all out, you could hire a flarer or fancy cocktail maker! Simply look online or go to your nearest cocktail bar and offer to hire a good one on a private basis.
Good luck with organising your casino theme party, I hope it goes well!
I think Red, Black and most the green is the perfect! Decorate your space with fake money, chips and cards. Turn on the lights and twinkly lights low bar to set the mood everywhere.
Yes, i like the idea of using flashing lights, twinkly lights as you put it. You can hire these out so you don’t need to spend lots of money on it.
Information nicely presented and useful.
