Frequently Asked Questions

We’re here to help. Explore our topics below to find relevant Frequently Asked Questions to answer your questions.

How do I hire a casino party company?

We do frequently rent out our equipment without dealers. We usually recommend that you do hire craps and roulette dealers if you want those games unless you have someone who knows the game very well, from both sides of the table, as these are complex games to run.

In regard to events no cash prizes or wagers may be awarded to participants, however, the winner of each controlled game may be entitled to a prize. An individual prize awarded to each winner shall not exceed a cash value of $500. For each event, the total cash value of prizes awarded shall not exceed $5, ooo.

Please contact us or request a quote for prices of your upcoming event or party.

How does a casino party work?

We give your guests funny money. Your guests try out each game, our dealers teach and entertain everyone, your guests then turn in all their winning in exchange for raffle tickets. We then have a drawing for prizes.

How long do the casino parties last?

Most of our parties end up lasting about 3 hours for playing time. That is ample time for guests to win chips. We will, however, come up with the ideal time that works best for your individual schedule. Time is also needed for setting up and cleaning up after.

How many people do I need for a casino party?

The number is up to you and depends on the size of the venue and the atmosphere you want to create! A good rule of thumb is to have one table for every 8-10 guests. This ensures everyone gets a chance to play and keeps the party lively and fun. Your casino party vendor will work with you on your guest count and space restrictions and of course, your budget, too!

How much does a casino party cost?

When determining the price for a party, multiple factors come into play. It is calculated based on the quantity of each requested gaming table, the duration of the casino, the location where we need to travel, and the event’s date and start time. Some venues have very poor load/unload access or undersized elevators. During the month of December, which is our peak season, we experience high demand, and as a result, our prices are higher for events held during this time. Luckily, we have efficient quoting software that enables us to provide you with a quote within minutes.

What exactly happens at your casino parties?

At these types of parties, you will be playing games that are found in major casinos in cities like Las Vegas and Monte Carlo. At our parties though, we only use chips, not real money. At the beginning of the party, guests are given a certain amount of chips, and those chips can be used for blackjack, craps, and more. Chips can be exchanged for raffle tickets at the end of the party, where prizes are won.

What if my guests never gambled or don’t understand the game(s)?

Let it Ride Casino Entertainment is the perfect place for beginner gamblers to learn how to play casino games. Our professional dealers are trained both to deal and to teach the games and basic strategies to your guests. This allows for any gambler new or seasoned to learn a new game, freshen up their skills, and have a fun time all night long.

What is your booking policy?

A 25% deposit is required to reserve the date along with a signed contract.

When do you deliver, set up and remove your casino equipment?

To ensure a smooth experience, we prefer to deliver and set up the casino as early as possible. An early setup minimizes the potential issues that can arise from last-minute setups. Equipment removal will start at the conclusion of the casino portion of the event. If you require a delayed breakdown, please arrange it ahead of time, as additional charges will apply.

Are chairs / stools provided for the casino tables?

If you require chairs or stools, kindly inform us, and we will include them in the invoice. Please note that only the Texas Hold’em tables require chairs.

How many players can play at each table?

Blackjack – 7 players
Poker – 10 players
Roulette – 10 players
Craps – 12 players

How many tables and dealers should I have for my party?

Based on our experience, it is ideal to have enough games to accommodate 60% to 70% of your guests playing simultaneously. This ensures a smooth flow to your party, providing everyone with the chance to enjoy both playing and socializing.

What is included in the casino party service?

All tables, dealers, and accessories are needed for a successful casino

What kind of games should I include in my casino night party or event?

Blackjack: This card game is by far the most popular at any casino. It is largely recognized and easy to learn.
Texas Hold’em: This form of poker is what everyone has been playing for the past 20 years. This game differs from the other games as you are only playing against the other players at the table and not against one of our top-notch dealers.
Roulette: A game of pure luck, roulette adds excitement to any casino event. It offers a variety of betting options and can be quite entertaining.
Craps: Known for its lively atmosphere, craps involve betting on the outcome of a roll or a series of rolls of two dice. It offers a variety of betting options and can be quite entertaining.

These games are just a few examples, and depending on the preferences of your guests, you can choose from a wide range of other popular casino games such as Three Card Poker, Caribbean Stud Poker, or even Horse Racing.

Are casino parties even legal?

Yes! They are legal because there is no actual gambling! This is all just for fun and pretending as the casino party is for the entertainment of your guests! Players and guests at a casino party event can’t win any actual money and even better: They can’t lose any, either!

At best they may win raffle tickets for a prize or whatever the host of the event decides?

Your casino party vendor will set up the tables you’ve selected at your venue to give your space the look and feel of an actual Vegas casino! When the party begins and the casino opens, the guests at your party are given “funny money” that they’ll use to buy chips with at the tables. They can then begin playing the games and competing to win prizes, raffle tickets or even just bragging rights.

Can we have a casino party outdoors?

Yes, you can, but we strongly advise against it. Unpredictable weather, such as a sudden shower of rain or strong wind gusts, can easily spoil your guest’s experience. Imagine the inconvenience of a downpour or playing cards scattered in every direction due to gusts of wind—not enjoyable.

Do I need to provide prizes for the casino night?

A casino party can be held without prizes, but it is always more fun to have them. Prizes will need to be provided by our client. It can be as simple as a bottle of wine or as exciting as a brand-new car.

Do we need to tip the dealers?

Tipping is never mandatory but always appreciated. Tipping is not required. However, if you feel the dealers did a great job then you can reward them for it.

Is there a minimum age to participate?

No! Since there is no actual gambling, it’s YOUR party and YOUR rules! It is important to consider that most casino games are designed for adults and require some understanding of rules and strategies. It’s always a good idea to have some adult supervision at the tables, especially if younger guests are attending your event. You can also consider setting up a separate area with more kid-friendly activities to keep the little ones occupied while the adults enjoy their casino games.

What if our prizes are determined by highest chip count?

If you are playing for top chip count, the process will follow this pattern.

Dealers will count-up players’ chips and fill out a voucher for players.
Dealers will bring vouchers to the craps table for managers to sort through.
The Pit Boss will bring all vouchers to the party coordinator to distribute prizes. Item description.

What should I consider before I hire a casino night company?

We highly encourage you to take the time to read reviews, as there are, unfortunately, a few bad apples in this industry. Don’t be deceived solely by an attractive website. Pay attention to the 1-star reviews to identify any recurring patterns or similar negative experiences among clients. Hire a local company from the Indianapolis and surrounding cities for your event. While there are several companies advertising in Austin, not all of them are based here. Choosing a company that operates within the area ensures they won’t outsource your event or must travel long distances of 200+ miles. By selecting a local company, you mitigate risks associated with potential truck breakdowns or oversights into loading tables, which could jeopardize the success of your big night. If you have any doubts about a company’s locality, feel free to ask, and I’ll provide you with accurate information.

What’s included in your service?

When you submit a Quote Request, our comprehensive pricing covers all the necessary elements for the casino portion of your event. This includes the delivery, setup and removal at the end of the conclusion of the casino. We will provide superior gaming tables, casino grade poker chips and all essential supplies needed for each gaming table. For larger events, we will provide a dedicated Pit-Boss to ensure the casino party runs smoothly so you can enjoy your night. We also supply “play money” if needed for your guests’ enjoyment.

Additional Information

Be sure to check on when the venue will be available for set-up, as we must charge extra if we have less than two hours to set-up as we have to pay additional people to set-up. For any party outside of the Indianapolis area, we charge travel. Use MapQuest or Google Maps to determine the distance. We travel 30 minutes each way free and sometimes stretch this a little. We use Indianapolis, Indiana (our office location) as a starting point. If you have any questions on this, just call us (317) 246-1111. We cannot use real money on any of the tables. On Texas Hold’em tournaments, if they get together outside the party and each contribute an amount to pay for the tables and to have prizes, this is okay if we have nothing to do with the awarding of prizes. We can collect vouchers and give them the top winners, but that is all we can do. For other parties, we furnish two-sided tickets for drawings for prizes. We also furnish fake money to start the party.
