Charity Casino

There are many reasons why people decide to run a charity fun casino. I can think of none better or more worthwhile than a children’s hospice can you? Jessie May Children’s Hospice is one such charity .  Jessie May is a Bristol based charity which provides palliative, end of life and bereavement care for terminally ill children and their families, https://jessiemay.org.uk/

How to Run a Charity  Casino

Aces Fun Casinos have helped raise many thousands of pounds for worthwhile causes over the years. We are honoured to be asked to help raise money with our fun casino tables in a few weeks time. The event is being held at Long Ashton Golf Club   https://www.longashtongolfclub.co.uk/and promises to be a very entertaining evening. As you can see from the flyer below, your entrance fee covers a good two course dinner and is open to members and guests. The ‘Vegas themed charity casino event will offer three popular games of chance – roulette, blackjack and poker. Professional croupiers on hand, trained to entertain as well as explain the rules to anyone that hasn’t played before.

Points to Keep in Mind

  • First and foremost the event can’t possibly be a success without the ‘bums on seats’. Whatever it takes to advertise the charity casino event – via friends and family, business contacts, advertising within and without your immediate circle. Social media is of course a great way to get the message across.
  • The aim of the game is to raise money of course. However it’s also, in most cases including this one. a way to bring members together in a social setting. A fun casino is a great way to do this.
  • There are a few ways to raise money on a charity casino. In some cases it will depend on how big the event is going to be. With good connections in the business world, the casino tables could be sponsored. Generous donors can have their businesses advertised on the casino tables. The entry price can be aimed at covering the cost of the entertainment plus profit for the charity.

On the night then, guests are given free money to exchange for chips. They play for fun and the highest roller gets a prize at the end. However, by far the most effective way is to keep the ticket price low to encourage more participants. On the night the fun money is sold for a pre-determined sum. We recommend £10.00 for each note sold. Again, at the end of the night the highest roller gets a prize.

And Finally…

On the night there are ‘do’s’ and ‘don’ts. The biggest ‘don’t I can offer is don’t give away chips thinking that people will buy more when they’ve run out. Initially the charity casino tables will be full of guests playing with their free money and not all of them will lose! A lot of people, however good intentioned, will decide their luck isn’t with them and stop. Others will not want to buy something they had ‘free’ in the first place.  Raising money for a worthwhile cause can be a daunting exercise. We are ready to help you through the process. By all means contact us either via email or call direct on 01934 420126.

 

 

Christmas and New Year. Calling all Party Organisers

Christmas and New Year Party Organisers

As the Christmas and New Year parties  approach us, calling all party organisers – please take note. Here at Aces Fun Casinos, we are busy taking bookings for Christmas and New Year casino parties.   Aces  has been entertaining business employees for the festive season since 2020. Before long office parties in Bristol, Taunton, Swindon, Bath, and surrounding locations across Somerset and the South West will be in full swing.

Party Ideas

Trying to think of party themes or ideas for your party can be testing but if you decide upon a casino themed event all the organising will be done for you by us.  We have a wide range of entertaining ideas that guarantees to keep your clients, guests, and employees entertained throughout the whole evening. Socializing, conversation, music food, and beverages combined with our casino tables is the perfect combination.

Private Party Entertainment or Surprise Business Fun

Our entertainments team in Weston super Mare recently organised a private party for a business with a small number of employees.  They booked our Party Special Package. This includes the three most popular casino games – roulette, blackjack and poker. Staffed by professional croupiers plus a casino manager to oversee the action.  Our clients first went for a meal at a top restaurant in Bristol and then came back to their place of work . To their surprise, they saw that the workplace had evolved into a CASINO! Aces Fun entertainment team had set up the party-themed tables. Much fun and excitement was to follow. After a very exciting couple of hours, the business owner said they had the best Christmas Party in years.

Looking For A Party with Something Different

Our entertainment is always different, our staff is trained to such high standards and professional throughout. Your day or night time entertainment is set to your personal requirement. Themed or staged, we ensure you always get the best value for money. A home dinner party with Aces  always goes down as a great surprise for your guests.  You may like the idea of a Vegas Night or 007 Bond Night – both go so well with our casino tables. Go the whole hogg and have the guests in fancy dress – perhaps come as your favourite ‘Bond’ character. A Vegas night certainly wouldn’t be ‘Vegas’ without a casino. Why not ask guests to use their imagination and dress accordingly. roulette-table-hire-somerset

Fundraising Parties

Do you know someone that’s running the London Marathon or taking on a challenge and need to fund raise for a charity or Organisation? Our fundraising parties are perfect for these situations. With so many years of experience we can steer you into the very best ways of raising money. We have for example our unique pre-event fundraiser that is aimed at those that won’t be there on the night but could still have a bet.

Party Organisers

Let us take the stress out of your workload. Having to arrange your works party can be a daunting prospect. One thing I would like to stress is the need to book early. The weekend nights in December are especially busy. Apart from the repeat bookings we have (and after so many years there are quite a few of them), Fridays and Saturdays start getting booked up in January. Another word of advice, let us guide you through the booking process.  It’s not that difficult but table/guest ratio and timings are important to get right.

Last word…

Charity Fun Casino Event

Weston Hospice Care Charity Fundraising

Held on the 20th September 2014

We are delighted to be asked to supply a charity fun casino event for this brilliant charity night. It’s happening at the Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare on Saturday 20th September. All funds raised will go to Weston Hospice Care so please book a table and bring friends and family.

How to raise money at a fun casino

The very best way to raise money for a charity is to sell the fun money we give you. You can of course factor the cost of the casino into your ticket price and give the fun money away. However, by far the most effective way is to sell the fun money and give the highest roller a good prize at the end of the gaming session. Worried about breaking the law?

https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/  

The Gambling Act 2005 allows you to host a fun casino for charitable or non-commercial purposes without a licence. If you are not playing for real money and prizes are awarded for winners that do not exceed £600 total value, then you won’t need a licence.

Charity Race Nights

How to Book A Charity Race Night

How A Race Night Works

A race night is one of the most rewarding events and a fantastic way to raise valuable funds for your cause be it your local club, charity, school or society.

There are quite a few things that you will need to make your race night a success.

Charity Fundraising Organisers

Depending on your objectives for the entertainment and race night, but most fund raising events are run to make the most money for your charity or cause.

For tips on making the most money we would recommend speaking with one of our Race Night team members. We  are able to give you valuable tips for making money before and during your race night.

Our race night staff are Professionally trained to make sure your event goes by with great success and helping to raise even more money that expected.

There are always many jobs that need to be done before and during the race night to make it a great success.

Pig Racing

Before your race night we always organise the following and incorporate:

A Race Night Promotions Manager – This is an Aces Fun team member.

You will need someone to help put up race night posters prior to the event, speak with local companies to get prizes and sponsorship for the race night. Sell the advanced race night programme if you have one created.

A Race Night Event Manager – Someone to sort out the venue for the race night, Master of ceremonies and event planner.

Horse Racing Organisers

During the charity race night you will need the following.

A Race Night Master of Ceremonies – This is usually an Aces Fun Race Night member of staff but will require confirming when booking us for your event.

Alternatively, you can hire a local MC or better known as a Master of Ceremonies but the local character of the club can usually do a good job and this will help the race night run at a great profit.

Race Night Tote Ticket Sellers – These are staff members or people who take the race night wagers as volunteers.

As our race night betting uses fun betting slips, just like the real thing, it’s very quick to operate and it means that any tote seller can take any race night wager.

Race Night Tote Ticket Payout Members – This is the person who is responsible for paying out the race night winners. Depending upon the size of your race night this can be covered by the seller.

A Big Projection Screen – Someone to be in charge of the displaying of the race night races and the sound system.

Aces Race Night Support Staff – People to help generally on the day of the race night.

Horse Race Nights

Someone who is able to sell your race night programme if you have one available along with your raffle tickets that always sell well if great prizes are to win and not forgetting the cleaners to clear up after the race night punters have all gone home!

As an organisation, you can decide on the size of each race night bet or if left to our organisation then we can run this as we have for many years. The Fun Betting can be anything you like but we would recommend either small denominations of money to increase the amounts of bets placed such as 50p or even £1.00.  You then decide how much of the race night tote the charity will retain for their funds – we would recommend anything between 40% and 60% but this is once again negotiable.

Once you have made all of these decisions, we are able to open the race night tote for the first race.

Punters may place as many bets on as many horses, greyhounds, camels, pigs or any other racing fun characters or animals as they wish in the following race.

When all bets have been placed the race night tote is closed. This is to comply with the current legislation set in the UK.

Big Screen Racing

#Charity #Race #Nights

Once the race night tote is closed the race is selected and displayed on the Big Screen.  Aces Fun supply payout tabulators that make the working out of the race night payout very simple to understand.

We have been providing Charity Race Nights in the UK for many years and are proud of our Professional services and the Team of members we have carefully chosen to work and provide great race nights in the UK.

Casino Party Hire for Charity

Our latest Casino Party involves a wonderful charity the Finlay Foundation.

We are looking forward to raising a lot of money for this very worthy cause with our best games of; Roulette, Blackjack and Poker.

Finlay Foundation Charity Event

There’s lots of fantastic prizes to be won and to be auctioned off, good luck to everyone involved and attending.

Casino for Hire We are expecting the Roulette Tables to be very busy with the sale of Fun money at just £10 for a $100’s worth of chips. The highest roller at the end of the night will get the top prize.

Weddings A Day at the Races

Wedding entertainment A day at the Races A great way to entertain guests, either after the wedding breakfast, before the evening event or FOR the evening event!

Horse racing, pig racing, camel and dog racing, bet using real or fun money. Something a little different for family and friends to talk about for a long time to come. Our musician couple at the weekend (see their cake?) really enjoyed the races and even got chance to place a few bets themselves.

As often happens, a younger guest, Lewis, stole the show, winning thousands of fun money dollars and a nice tin of Quality Street. Second prize awarded to the two lovely ladies in the last photo.
