You don’t have to give away prizes. Casino Theme Parties are very exciting, even when you just turn in your chips at the end. Of course, awarding prizes can make your casino theme party even more exiting. There are a few things to consider when choosing your prize pool and method of awarding prizes. I recommend you coordinate with your Casino party event planner if you would like to award prizes.
Casino Night Prize Awarding Methods
There are several ways to award prizes at a casino theme party. I recommend choosing one of the following with the standard raffle being my favorite.
The Standard Raffle: (Recommended) The Play Chips are converted to standard raffle tickets in a pre-determined ratio. Tickets are placed in a raffle drum and prizes raffled one at a time. We recommend giving one raffle ticket to ALL guests as a freebie. It keeps them the in the game even if they lose all of their chips.
The Auction: Guests use their Play Chips to place bids on the prizes they wish to win. You should have no more than 5 items when you use the auction method.
The Chinese Raffle: The Play Chips are converted to standard raffle tickets in ratio of 1 ticket per $5,000 in Play Chips. The guests then place raffle tickets in individual boxes for each prize in which they are interested. Once again, we recommend giving one raffle ticket to ALL guests as a freebie.
High Rollers: The guests with the highest winnings are awarded a prize.

Prizes for Casino Night Fundraisers
For Casino Night Fundraisers it is not uncommon to have a casino night in conjunction with a live or silent auction. The idea is to have supporters donate items for the auction, then auction those items as part of the fundraising effort. If you are hosting a casino night fundraiser, it is important to keep in mind the cost and potential [lost] revenue from having prizes awarded from the casino play. Basically you should have low value prizes for the casino and put the high value items in the auction. The purpose of this strategy is to maximize your cash revenue.
For example if you had a supporter donate a $50,000 car you would be much better off auctioning that car off for cash, more than likely tens of thousands of dollars, then giving it away as part of the casino prize pool.
How many Prizes Should be Awarded
Once again, less is more. While is might seem like a great idea to give lots of prizes away at the end of your event, it is generally better to give fewer better prizes than to give lots of smaller prizes. First off keep in mind that it will take a 30 seconds to a minute to award each prize. So if you have 40 prizes you are in for a long prize awarding session and if the prizes are not really that great you will lose the guests’ interest.
Secondly, people want to feel special for winning. Imagine the lottery gave away fifty million $2 prizes versus one $100 million prize.
LOTS of Little Prizes
If you really want to give away lots of little prizes like key-chains, koozies, or other trinkets; I recommend the game event award method. Most casino games have some event that happens every so often. For example a Craps player gets a point, a Roulette player hits a number, a Blackjack player gets a Blackjack. Those somewhat rare events can be used to award small prizes during the party to the lucky player. This is ideal when you want to award lots of prizes and or don’t necessarily want to require the guests to stay to the end of the event. This works well for conventions, trade show and expos where the players come and go from the table and you may never see them again.
As a corporate events planning company we are always asked about good company event entertainment. Indoor events are especially good for some type of themed party, and a casino night party is a good time for your guests.
Experienced players enjoy it because it gives them a chance to “play” without the risks of really losing your money. Novices like it because it gives them the chance to learn the games and practice without the risk of losing.
RH Events Las Vegas theme party protocol.
Each guests at our event will be given a ticket, coupon or token upon entering the event that is worth $ 25,000 in play chips at any of our gaming tables. If your going to have an outrageous casino party we think you should start with outrageous money! We have craps, roulette, blackjack and poker tables and most of our events have a number of each, depending on budget.
Your guests will take their ticket,coupon or token to any of our tables, where they will be cashed in with $ 25,000 worth of chips. Each player gets the same number of $100, $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 chips. Those are the chip denominations that we use at RH.
Depending on the number of guests, players and other entertainment activities that are going on at the event, we will have a set time limit on play at the tables. We suggest no longer than 2 hours of play and may even suggest a break is taken. Near the end of the casino event, there will be an announcement that play will soon end. Usually a 15, 10 and 5 minute warning.
At the end of casino play, each guest will redeem their chips at any of the gaming tables for raffle tickets that the dealers will all have on hand. Raffle tickets are redeemed for $10,000 each in chips. Example, if a player has $40,000 in chips, they will get 4 tickets to put in the drawings. These will be two connected tickets with the guest holding one half and the other being placed into the raffle drum.
Have prizes!
People love to get prizes! The more tickets your guest has the more chances they have to win whatever prizes you have at the event. We suggest a number of prizes, culminating in a “grand prize”.
