Corporate Entertainment Ideas

/in /by

With Christmas fast approaching many businesses will be looking for corporate entertainment ideas. Call me biased if you will but I can think of none better than a fun casino. The clue is in the word ‘entertainment’ as a fun casino is surely that. At least I am quite sure that my fun casinos are about as entertaining as you can get.

Corporate Entertainment at Celtic Manor https://www.celtic-manor.com/

What you see in the photo above is a snapshot of a rather large corporate event – around 350 guests. This after dinner fun casino was at the fabulous Celtic Manor Hotel. We opened right after their awards were handed out. There was any number of other attractions for guests to enjoy. However, the fun casino was (as is always the case) the clear winner. Below I’ll list the reasons why a fun casino is the best idea for your corporate party.

Reasons Why:

Risk Factor

There’s no real risk as no money changes hands with a corporate entertainment like this. However the fun money guests are given is exchanged for casino chips. The competitive element is certainly not diminished and competition is often quite fierce. The champagne prize at the end is often secondary to the winner’s kudos and colleagues’ applause.

Player Engagement

Whether or not the corporate entertainment includes a ‘plus one’, there will always be people that don’t know each other. The bigger the event the more likely that is. Now, whilst at dinner, conversation could be stilted, at the gaming table everything changes. The focus is on the game not the person beside you. pressure to communicate is off. That usually means people are more likely to engage in jovial chat and banter!

Professional Service

All of our croupiers or casino dealers are highly experienced in the art of entertaining. They are very well practiced in putting guests at their ease. Not only that, their obvious enjoyment of the work they do translates to the enjoyment of the players. Banter abounds as well as the odd tip and strategy. We like to show them how NOT to gamble and that betting can be fun as long as you don’t lose your shirt.

Christmas and New Year. Calling all Party Organisers

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

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…

We are an honest, family business. If you ask our advice we’ll give you an honest answer. We do not try to oversell our product. We want your party to be a roaring success – that way you’ll most probably ask us back. That’s why over 70% of our bookings are repeat business. It’s something we are very proud of. We’ll help you organise your party – just give us a call – 01934 420126 or Contact.

Fun Casino Hire – 25 Years in business

Fun Casino 25 Years in Business ‘My Golden Nugget’ by June Howley

Looking back beyond my 25 years in business. Remembering the first moment I saw a group of very attractive female croupiers swish past the reception of the Golden Nugget Casino, London. Most were carrying evening gowns. I wondered what on earth they were going to be doing – and whether I might join them. I was ‘temping’ on their reception and switchboard that evening. Many years later and having spent most of my working life behind a gaming table I still love the games, the atmosphere and the people I’ve met and known in the gaming industry.

Becoming a croupier was my passport to travel. It gave me opportunities to travel and work in some ‘far-flung’ places. Some I’d never even heard of till I got there. Gabon for example, a country tucked into the west coast of Africa, just on the equator. It was handy for malaria whilst there and Pointless questions  ever since. A few years after I’d come out of the business I found I missed it so much I started my own own fun casino business. That was 25 years ago – I’m still passionate about what I do. I still take a pride in how we go about supplying the very best in party entertainment.

Personalised Fun Money for Roulette and Blackjack Tables

I consider myself extremely lucky to have found a way of bringing an exciting but not dangerous way of gambling to the general public. A fun casino is just that! It’s fun! We charge the party host or organiser a set fee.  Guests are given fun money they change for chips at the gaming tables and off we go. We love to show the best ways to place a bet, strategies on card games – tempered with a good deal of fun and general banter.

17 Custom Made Tables – Poker, Blackjack and Roulette Mobile Hire

Twenty five years ago I started Aces Fun Casinos with three gaming tables. Today we are bigger and better – I think we have seventeen tables – roulette, blackjack and several varieties of poker. I am also happy to say I can call upon the very best gaming staff in the southwest to work on those tables.

My Golden Nugget days were relatively brief but the gaming industry changed my life. I wasn’t much of a telephonist but I’m not a bad casino dealer and still here – still strong as a fun casino operator. I still love to deal, love my job, love my company. What’s included in my Fun Casino packages? Call to book or just for a chat on 1934 420126

How to Win at Roulette

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Now and then I meet an individual who confides in me that their mate has a winning roulette system but most people know it simply can’t exist.

That being said, there are different types of players or punters as we call them in the trade. Some of them are actually quite dangerous, especially if they have unlimited funds. Apart from them, there are punters who will know when the time is right to put a bet on and they’ll not be scared to load it on either! They are the dangerous ones, the DP’s because if they do get a decent win early on they can do a lot of damage especially if their luck continues.

Wedding Entertainment

Yes of course luck comes into it – roulette is a game of chance but equally as important, the crux of the matter is not so much ‘how to bet’ but ‘when to bet’, when to ‘load up’ and ‘go with the roll’.

Of course, there are those that get a thrill from placing a chip or two on an even chance bet. Long lasting entertainment, a tenner could last all evening. They might even leave a few quid up.

The DP however will go big or go home. Typically, they’ll buy in for three or four stacks of chips, betting them all on their first spin. They’ll put a good few on around six or eight numbers, decorating the surrounding splits and corners (to ease the pain and give them chance of a smaller payout at least). ‘No more bets’, the ball drops and finds an empty space on the table. The DP buys in again, repeating the process.

This could occur three or four times but sooner or later one of two things will happen:
Their gambling ‘pot’ is empty – the amount they had decided to play with that night is gone and they leave the table.
The croupier spins one of the loaded numbers. This gives the DP a very playable return and they continue to play loading their numbers even more. Other players may look on in wonder, asking themselves ‘how is this person so lucky?’.

Well, you have to speculate to accumulate I always tell them and with fun casinos of course there’s no danger, no risk but games with DP’s are still very exciting – most croupiers love them. We all love a winner and fun casino croupiers especially so. We do our best to educate the novice and encourage the experienced to bring out the best in the art of betting.

Winning at roulette is entirely possible then if you have brought Lady Luck with you and you have the courage of your convictions – you’ll have a good pop! As examples, I’ll tell you about three DP’s who played on my tables last month. The first was at a corporate Christmas party where the player in question seemed to have accumulated an never-ending supply of fun money. Every spin he changed notes for chips, loading his numbers as they do and the croupier managing to find empty numbers spin after spin. Eventually he started getting results, the first was a beautiful picture bet (croupiers learn to recognize totals in patterns of bets) with three on the number, splits and corners, a pay-out of $2025. That was just the start of it – and he certainly gave our croupier a run for his money!
The second and third both happened on the same night – New Year’s Eve. Player one changed the $100 fun notes for chips, bet his numbers with them and got no return. He changed another three, then another three, shrugged his shoulders and left.

Player two – only became a DP after taking my advice. With fun casinos, when the last three spins are announced, the gaming stops and guests are asked to hand in their winnings – the highest gets a prize. So, and this often is the case, players will be reluctant to bet all their chips on the last three spins. Why? I ask them – you can’t take them with you when you go so you might as well go out in style. I ALSO advise them how that DP would do it – by choosing a half a dozen or so numbers and betting on the nose. So much more fun and excitement. The last spin – the wheel is stopped. Groans of course from the losers but player two – with a last bit of luck had bet six chips on the winning number, a 210 piece win totaling $1050! Of course there was no cash involved – but I do hope she enjoyed the large bottle of Grey Goose Vodka the Host presented her with.

My last bit of New Year advice: book a fun casino with my company ‘Aces Fun Casinos’ for your party entertainment, a guaranteed success and finally, if you’re going to gamble for real– ‘never bet more than you can afford to lose’.

Fun Casino – Riverboat Cruise Celebration

/in , , , , , , , /by

Bristol Packet Boats – Kingston Barnes Jolly

A fun casino cruise? What a perfect way to spend a summer afternoon on a riverboat cruise. A friendly crowd of people – good company in more ways than one. You see, their hard work really paid off as these guys more than met their target and were awarded a ‘jolly’. That was an afternoon with Aces on a fun casino cruise. What a nice Boss! That’s James of https://kingstonbarnes.com/ We were so pleased to be part of it. We have supplied several fun casinos for them – both on Bristol Packet Boats https://bristolpacket.co.uk/ in their offices and in the Mayor’s Parlour!

Guests seemed to enjoy the unique to Aces Blackjack Schnapps Challenge Prize – or punishment, (depending on whether you liked the taste of it or not)  for getting a blackjack hand was to down a shot of schapps – as one guest is bravely demonstrating. They were allowed to nominate if driving home but not many chose to do that! The fun casino cruise was, as you might imagine, rather lively.

Cruise with Roulette and Blackjack

The roulette game was just as exciting, even if a lot of the guests had to rely on payday loans and loyalty bonuses to get through the afternoon. With such a small party we could afford to be generous and allowed them in turn to experience big value games. Our croupiers were delighted to show them a few neat tricks and strategies to ‘maximise their winning potential’.

When the ball dropped in a good number – they voiced their approval!! We had one very lucky player, almost destined to take home the champagne but all in all, everyone, staff and players had a great afternoon.

If you’re wondering where to hold a party and what to do when you’re there – an Aces Fun Casino on one of the beautiful Bristol Packet Boats is a perfect idea when looking for an alternative venue – Click here to send a message via our contact form or call us on 01934 420126 to speak with one of our team.

Fun Casinos and Job Satisfaction

As told by June Howley, Business Owner of Aces Fun Casinos.

What is it, after twenty years of working in fun casinos – 16 of those with my own business – keeps me enjoying my work?

As a provider of fun casinos I have been asked to attend thousands of different events. These venues range from castles to chip shops, stately homes to narrow boats. We’ve worked on farms, in festivals, race courses and tv studios. We’ve worked in people’s kitchens and even their bedrooms when space was at a premium.

We’ve driven to the middle of nowhere, carted our gear across fields and gardens. We’ve climbed through French windows, slithered through blizzards and held our breath driving through flash floods. Why?

No one stands to lose their income over the turn of a card or the spin of the wheel.

Speaking as someone who spent many years in the gaming industry, working in a variety of casinos in the UK and abroad I can say in all honesty that, apart from the excitement of travelling to new countries and all that entails, I find the fun casinos that I do are far more enjoyable.

Communication – call it banter.

I am able to engage with my players, tell them a yarn perhaps, teach them a little strategy or just have a bit of banter going alongside the game. How very different from the mostly silent and tense games in the gambling halls of the world, where players show no emotion whatsoever or worse, blaming the croupier for their losses.

Fun Casino Event Entertainment Bristol Somerset Swindon Bath Taunton South Wales West

Fun Casinos are a light-hearted form of entertainment and really – not just for the player. Most of the croupiers that work in my fun casinos have had many years experience working in the gaming industry. They leave for a variety of reasons but a part of them still miss the GAMES as did I. So, after years of meeting all sorts of different people, driving to different places, celebrating different occasions– birthdays, anniversaries, fund raisers, corporate entertainment, weddings – helping to make an event the best it can be and seeing the enjoyment on people’s faces – that’s what gives me job satisfaction. That’s what keeps me doing what I do and enjoying it while I’m doing it.
