The fun casino offers an enjoyable way to raise funds while providing a charitable opportunity! The basic expenses of your fun casino can be covered through ticket sales, similar to what you would do for a band, DJ or catering. Most fundraising events sell tickets for entry, so it's common for our fees to be factored into that ticket price, along with other expenses like venue and entertainment costs. This approach ensures that all proceeds from the casino go directly to you and your worthy cause. Additionally, you can seek sponsorship for tables and prizes from local businesses, ensuring that the entire revenue generated from 'fun' money benefits the charity or organisation.
Hosting a fundraising charity casino night is an exciting way to raise money for a worthwhile cause while providing attendees with an unforgettable evening of entertainment. At Fun Casino 21, we are passionate about helping you create a seamless and fun event. Here’s our step-by-step guide to organising a successful charity casino night!
Step 1: Set Clear Objectives
Before you jump into the logistics, take a moment to define your goals. Ask yourself:
- How much money do you want to raise?
- What cause are you supporting?
- What is your target audience?
Clear objectives will guide your planning and help you craft an engaging narrative that resonates with your potential attendees and donors.
Step 2: Choose a Suitable Venue
Finding the right venue is crucial for a successful event. Consider factors such as:
- Capacity: How many attendees do you expect?
- Accessibility: Is the venue easily reachable for guests?
Step 3: Determine the Date and Time
Select a date that avoids conflicts with major holidays or local events. Weekend evenings are typically the best choice as guests are more likely to attend. Ideally, aim for a timeframe of 3 to 5 hours for a relaxed casino experience.
Step 4: Collaborate with Us
Partnering with Fun Casino 21, we will simplify your event organisation. We can provide:
- Full size luxury casino tables with solid mahogany legs (Roulette, Blackjack, Poker and 3 Card Poker)
- Professional and friendly croupiers that will explain the games
- Delivery, installation and collection of equipment
- Free personalised fun money with your logo to remind guests they are playing for your cause
This takes the pressure off you, allowing you to focus on other event elements.
Step 5: Create a Marketing Plan
Promote your charity casino night to attract attendees! Use a mix of the following strategies:
- Social Media: Share posts about your event with engaging graphics and informative content. We will also promote your event on our social media.
- Email Newsletters: Send out event details to your mailing list, explaining the cause.
- Local Publications: Consider submitting press releases or articles to community newsletters or local papers.
Make sure to highlight the cause you’re supporting, as people are more likely to attend if they see the positive impact of their contributions.
Step 6: Set Ticket Pricing and Include Incentives
Determine your ticket price based on your fundraising goals and estimated costs. You could include gaming chips in the ticket price to encourage everyone to participate.
Guests can then purchase $100 in Fun Money for just a £5 or £10 donation—or any amount you choose. At the end of the casino night, our friendly croupiers will announce the winners. It’s not just about the prizes; it’s about the thrill of participation and the entertainment provided by our dealers, all while enjoying the excitement of stepping into a fantasy world. This engaging experience is what brings crowds to our casino tables every time!
Local businesses may sponsor a casino table. In exchange, you can showcase their company by displaying a sign with their logo right on the table and on the Fun Money. Additionally, sponsors can provide branded merchandise to be used as spot prizes at their table, adding even more excitement to the event.
To increase excitement, you could organise a raffle draw or offer prizes for the biggest winners, encouraging more ticket sales!
