Dealer Costumes For Casino Night Party

When hosting a casino themed party you'll need to either hire professional dealers or volunteers to run the games. We've seen both methods work quite successfully at casino parties. Whichever method you choose be sure to give your dealers some appropriate wear for the evening.

A fun idea that we've seen at parties with a dress-code of semi-formal or higher and assuming you are choosing volunteers as dealers for the evening. You tell a few guests who have volunteered to help out being your dealer. The idea is that you get them to dress as a dealer for the night and not the proper dress code. They can then play the role of the dealer for the night even when they are not dealing!

If you'd rather not put extra work on your guests then we recommend you provide them with a costume or at least a few props. You can buy the props from most online costume stores like Costumekingdom.com or ShindigZ.com. However, you (or they) can easily make a dealers costume with a few simple props. Most of these supplies are available at second-hand stores. The basics supplies necessary are a viser and vest, preferably green or something tacky. For a few more details you can get some Vegas paraphernalia.

Dealers are an important part of any casino party and can actually become a source of conversation. Incorporating the dealers in the evenings activities makes them feel like they're not missing the party by being a dealer. So consider giving your guests and dealers something to discuss by providing them with a costume.

Tips For Volunteer Dealers At A Casino Party

At every casino party you will need dealers to run the tables and games. You have two options for your dealers: renting dealers in your hometown or getting volunteers who will attend you party to be the dealers. The choice is really up to you, however, we've found that if your party is smaller that volunteers work just as well as professional dealers. However, at a larger party (say a graduation party) you may want to rent dealers or get volunteers who aren't attending the party to deal.

Here are a few suggestions to help you manage your volunteer dealers at your casino night.

1) Get a dealer vest to recognize who the dealers are. This is also great because then the person isn't recognized as the dealer the whole evening.

2) Tell them which game(s) they will be dealing ahead of time. If they know which game they can refresh themselves on the game to ensure that everything can run smoothly.

3) Have them arrive early to the party so they can practice the game that they will deal

4) Ensure the dealer shifts are short (an hour long) and have a replacement fill in. This is definitely required for 75% of your volunteer dealers, however, some people will really enjoy their shift and want to stay and deal all night. If they are having fun then why not?

Hopefully, these tips for your volunteer dealers will help the evening go much smoother and you won't have games that are shut down because nobody is there to deal them.
