Casino Party Games
Rent gaming felts from a party supply retailer, or make your own using white paint or tape and yards of green felt. While classic casino party games include Black Jack, Texas Hold 'Em, Craps, and Baccarat, it's always a good idea to set up party games for novice players, such as Uno, Yahtzee, Skip-Bo, or Guesstures.
As your guests arrive, present each with an envelope of play money (make sure all guests receive the same amount), announce a predetermined playing time, and let the games begin! When the session ends, award a prize to the guest with the highest winnings.

Decorations
For your casino-themed party, think red, black and especially green! Decorate your place with fake money, chips and cards. Turn the lights down low and string twinkly lights everywhere to set the mood.
Provide each of your guests with little buckets for their winnings. To keep people circulating and interacting with one another, give everyone a score card that keeps tracks of how many games they’ve tried.
Cover tables with black felt and use a white paint marker to draw blackjack, craps and baccarat lines, or buy pre-made game layouts. You should have a rule book handy in case there are any disputes, but don’t forget this old adage: The house always wins!
Attire
Depending on the type of establishment you’re running, you might want some guests to be patrons, and others to work the tables as dealers. Make sure your gamblers are dressed to the nines — visualize a tuxedo-wearing James Bond staring down Le Chiffre in Casino Royale to get the right idea. Ladies and gents should get dolled up and into character.
Here are some ideas for spiffy clothing and accessories for your casino party outfit:
- Tuxedos and suits for the gents, sparkly attire for the ladies
- Pocket watches, opera gloves or sparkly jewelry
- Aces up your sleeves
- Decks of cards, dice, chips, fake money
- Prizes for the biggest spenders and biggest losers
Activities
Casino 21st Birthday Ideas
Every casino party activity should center around gambling so set up different zones for different events: one for Texas Hold ‘Em, one for 5-card Stud and other poker games, and another for dice games and roulette.
Partner up novice gamblers with old pros, and make sure there’s space around your tables so people can watch and learn. If you’re feeling unconventional, make a tiny obstacle course or play charades!
Food
When you think casino, you generally think of drinks — and lots of them! — but don’t forget to fortify people’s stomachs with some good food!
If your casino leans more towards the highbrow, bust out the chafing dish and serve Swedish meatballs or warm crab and artichoke dip. Or stoke your guests’ appetites with spicy foods like wings, chips with charred corn salsa and tangy tomato bruschetta.
Hand out plenty of cocktail napkins so that hands, cards and tables stay clean. You don’t want anything to undermine the legitimacy of your operation!
Drinks
