Corporate Casino Parties

A corporate casino party puts real casino tables and professional dealers into your office, ballroom, or venue for a few hours of casino-themed play. Nobody wagers money and nobody wins money: guests get chips with no cash value, play for the fun of it, and often trade chips for raffle entries or prizes at the end. We have been running these nights in Los Angeles since 2006, and the format works because it gives people something to do together besides stand around holding a drink.

When a casino night is the right call

Casino tables solve a specific problem: a room full of people who do not all know each other and have no reason to mix. Blackjack seats seven. Craps pulls a crowd. Roulette gives people something to watch and argue about. Within twenty minutes the sales team from the third floor is standing next to the VP of engineering, and neither of them had to make small talk to get there.

The events that suit this best are holiday parties, sales kickoffs, client appreciation nights, and grand openings. We have run all of them, in offices, hotel ballrooms, country clubs, and private venues around the state. Past corporate clients include Red Bull, SpaceX, Quiksilver, Macy's, and Calvin Klein.

It is a weaker fit when you need people seated and quiet, like an awards dinner with a long program. In that case tables work best before dinner or after the speeches, not during. If you are weighing formats, our page on events we run covers what we bring to different occasions.

How the night actually comes together

The process is not complicated, but the details matter.

We talk through the room and the guest list. Headcount, venue, timing, whether there is a program competing with the tables. From that we recommend a table mix. The math is not intuitive, so we walk you through it, and we have written it up in how many casino tables do I need for my guest count?.

You get a quote and confirm. Every event is priced individually. We carry event liability insurance and can send a certificate if your venue asks for one, which hotels and office buildings usually do.

We load in and set up. Tables, layouts, chips, cards, and everything else come with the booking. You do not source chips or rent a felt from anyone else.

Dealers run the tables during your window. They handle rules, pace, and the guest who has never held cards, which at a corporate party is a large share of the room. Our dealers are hired and trained in house, and there are more than twenty of them.

We break down and load out. Usually faster than setup.

If you want a prize structure, tell us early. Most companies do a chip count at the end and draw for prizes, and that closing moment is worth planning rather than improvising at 10 p.m.

How long it takes

Play itself usually runs two to four hours. Under two hours and guests barely settle in. Past four, attention drifts and the bar wins.

Setup and breakdown depend on the venue more than the table count. A ground floor ballroom with a loading dock is quick. A fourth floor office with one service elevator and a strict freight window is not. When you ask for a quote, tell us about the elevator, the parking, and any load-in restrictions. That single piece of information changes the schedule more than anything else.

We also need to know when the room is available to us. If the caterer is still setting tables at 5:30 for a 6:00 start, that is worth knowing before the day of.

What it costs and what moves the price

We quote every event individually, so there is no rate card here. What we can tell you is what actually drives the number.

• Number of tables. The biggest single factor. Each table comes with its own dealer.
• Length of play. A two hour window costs less than a four hour one.
• Venue access. Long carries, tight freight elevators, and restricted load-in windows add labor time.
• Location. We are based in Los Angeles and travel throughout California. Distance affects the quote.
• Extras. Prize structures, custom chips, and additional staffing beyond the tables.
• Date and timing. December fills up. So do Saturdays.

The most common mistake is booking too few tables to save money. A room of 150 people crowding four tables means most of your guests are spectators, which defeats the point. We would rather right-size the mix than sell you an event that underdelivers. There is more detail in how much does a casino party cost?, and you can get a real number by calling (866) 963-6557 or sending the booking form.

What to look for in whoever you hire

Ask who the dealers are. A lot of companies subcontract whoever is available that weekend. Ours are hired and trained in house, and they are professionals: they can run a fast blackjack game for an executive who plays weekly and, at the next seat, teach someone the rules without making them feel stupid. That second skill is the one that decides whether your party works.

Ask about insurance. We carry event liability coverage, and any venue worth booking will require proof of it.

Ask what is included. Chips, cards, and setup should not be line items you discover later. With us they are part of the booking.

Ask about compliance if there is a charitable element. If your corporate event raises money for a nonprofit, California has rules about charity gaming. We are certified by the California Department of Justice gambling division for charity fundraisers and we handle that side. We are not attorneys and will not give you legal advice, but we know the process and have helped raise over a million dollars for hundreds of California charities.

And ask about experience with rooms like yours. We have run tables everywhere from the Hollywood Roosevelt to corporate offices, and our tables and dealers have appeared on screen in Ocean's 13 and CSI: NY. Founded in 2006 by Jodi Lee Screpnek, we are the original all-women casino party company, owned, operated, and staffed by women.
