So you've decided to host a casino night. Whether it's a corporate team-building event in Buckhead, a charity gala in Midtown, a milestone birthday in Alpharetta, or a holiday party in Roswell, you know that a Vegas-style casino party is the surest way to create an unforgettable experience for your guests.

But now comes the practical question:

What exactly do you get when you rent a casino party package?

If you've never planned a casino night before, the terminology can be confusing. What's a "pit boss"? Do dealers come with the tables? Who handles setup and teardown? What about chips, cards, and play money? And how do you know if you're getting a good deal?

This guide provides a detailed breakdown of what's included in a typical Atlanta casino rental package. Whether you're considering a Full-Service Package or a more budget-friendly Value Package, understanding exactly what you're getting—and what you're not—will help you plan with confidence and avoid any last-minute surprises.

Let's break it down, piece by piece.

The Core Components of Any Casino Rental Package

1. Professional-Grade Casino Tables

The heart of any casino night is the tables themselves. A typical Atlanta casino rental package includes a selection of professional-grade tables that are the real deal—not flimsy folding tables with felt thrown over the top.

Table Types:

Blackjack Tables – Usually 8 feet long, with professional felt layouts and a chip tray for the dealer. Each table accommodates 7 to 8 players.
Roulette Tables – Featuring the iconic wheel and a betting layout. The wheel itself is a showstopper that draws crowds.
Craps Tables – Larger and more complex, these require specialized knowledge to set up and run.
Poker Tables – For Texas Hold'Em and other poker variations, often with a more intimate, tournament-style setup.

Table Count Guidelines:

A good rule of thumb is to order enough casino tables to accommodate about 40% of your guests at any given time, since not everyone will be gambling simultaneously. For a typical Atlanta event:

25-50 guests: 2-4 tables
50-100 guests: 5-8 tables
100-150 guests: 8-12 tables
150+ guests: 12+ tables

Most casino tables fit 7 to 8 guests, so 8 tables is a good number to keep 100 guests engaged and entertained.

What to Look For:

Insist on tables in excellent condition with professional layouts. Some companies may use lower-quality equipment, but a reputable provider will deliver tables that look and feel authentic.

2. Professional Dealers

This is perhaps the most critical component of your casino party package. Professional dealers are the heart and soul of the experience—they set the tone, keep the games moving, and ensure every guest feels welcome and engaged.

What Professional Dealers Provide:

Expertise – They know the rules inside and out. They can answer questions, resolve disputes, and keep games moving at the right pace.
Teaching Skills – Many guests may have never played casino games before. Professional dealers are skilled at teaching beginners with patience and charm.
Energy and Charisma – Dealers aren't just game managers—they're entertainers. The best dealers are fun, engaging, and help create a lively atmosphere.
Professional Appearance – Uniformed, polished, and professional, they elevate the entire event.

Number of Dealers:

Most packages include one dealer per table. Some larger packages may include a "pit boss" or floor manager to oversee the entire gaming floor. For events with craps—which requires specialized knowledge—a dedicated craps dealer is often included or available as an add-on.

Dealer Quality Matters:

The quality of your dealers can make or break your event. Look for companies with dealers who are described as "fun & engaging" and who "will help new players learn each game while still being able to give pointers to veteran gamblers". Poorly trained or disengaged dealers lead to slow games, confused guests, and a disappointing experience.

3. Chips, Cards, and Play Money

A casino party isn't complete without the authentic feel of high-quality chips and cards. A typical Atlanta casino rental package includes:

Casino Chips:

Professional-grade clay or composite chips clearly marked with denominations. Chips typically range from $25 to $10,000, with each denomination a different color so guests can easily tell them apart. Guests exchange their "funny money" for chips at the tables, creating an authentic casino experience.

Playing Cards:

Professional-grade decks of cards, typically multiple decks per table to keep the games moving.

Play Money ("Funny Money"):

Most packages include standard "funny money" that guests receive upon entry. Typically, each guest receives the same amount—often $20,000 in $5000 bills. Guests then exchange this play money for chips at the tables.

Raffle Tickets:

Many packages include raffle tickets free of charge. At the end of the night, guests can redeem their remaining chips for raffle tickets to win prizes. The dealers can handle the "cash-out" process and even emcee the raffle.

4. Setup and Teardown

One of the biggest advantages of hiring a professional casino party company is that they handle the heavy lifting.

What's Typically Included:

Delivery – Tables and equipment are delivered to your venue.
Setup – The crew arranges the tables, lays out the chips and cards, and ensures everything is ready before your guests arrive.
Teardown – After the event, the crew returns to pack up and remove all equipment.
Clear Paths and Safety – Professionals ensure tables are positioned safely without crowding exits or walkways.

Setup Timeline:

Most packages include setup before the gaming time begins and teardown after the raffles are finished. For example, a 3-hour gaming package might include setup in the hour before and teardown in the 30 minutes after.

What You Provide:

Typically, you provide the venue, tables and chairs for non-gaming areas, and any prizes. Some packages may also require you to provide food, beverages, and decorations.

5. Gaming Time

Most Atlanta casino rental packages include a set amount of gaming time—typically 3 hours.

What Happens During Gaming Time:

Guests play their favorite casino games with professional dealers
Chips and play money are exchanged
The energy builds as guests win and lose
At the end of the gaming time, dealers announce "last hand," "last spin," and "last throw"

What Happens After:

Guests turn in their chips, and dealers "cash them out." If you've chosen to have a raffle, guests exchange their chips for raffle tickets, and the crew can handle the raffle logistics and emcee the giveaways.

Flexibility:

While 3 hours is standard, some companies offer shorter or longer packages. Most pricing remains the same for events shorter than the standard time, so most clients take advantage of the full gaming time.

6. The Pit Boss (Floor Manager)

For larger events, a "pit boss" or floor manager is often included in the package. This person oversees the entire gaming floor, ensuring everything runs smoothly.

Responsibilities:

Supervising dealers
Resolving any disputes or questions
Managing the flow of guests between tables
Ensuring games are running on schedule
Acting as the point of contact for the host

The pit boss is especially valuable for corporate events and fundraisers where you want a single point of contact to handle any issues that arise.

Optional Add-Ons and Upgrades

Many Atlanta casino rental companies offer a range of add-ons to customize your event. These can include:

Personalized "Funny Money" – Custom currency with your company logo or event name.

Professional DJ – To keep the energy high with music.

Photo Booth – With casino-themed props and green screen options.

Professional Photographer – To capture the memories.

Cash Cube – A cash cube, also known as a money booth or cash grab machine, is an interactive attraction where participants step inside a transparent enclosure to grab as much flying cash, coupons, or vouchers as possible while a powerful blower sends the items swirling around them like a tornado

Themed Decorations – Balloon arches, signage, and other decor to enhance the atmosphere.

Additional Tables – If your guest count grows, you can often add extra tables.
