What is a Casino Theme Party?

A Casino Theme Party is an event that simulates the experience of a casino, typically for entertainment or fundraising purposes. Guests purchase tickets to attend the event and participate in various casino games such as blackjack, poker, roulette, and craps. The games are usually played using “funny money” or play money, with no real cash exchanged. Guests can compete against each other to win prizes, which are often donated by local businesses.
