Casino Night Party - Best Sellers and Most Popular Games

This article is a follow up to the Casino Night Party Most Popular Decorations. The point of the articles is to help everyone know the most common and popular games for a casino night party. Then you can use them to either include them in your party (ie: not forgetting anything) or to NOT include them so that you keep the party very unique. Either way it's a good way to see what other games people are having without attending a huge amount of casino night parties (if that's even possible!).

Most Popular Casino Games
1) Roulette
Roulette is a game that gives you a chance to win big! As well, you can play with tons of chips and scatter them around the board feeling like a winner almost every time. This game is a little harder to run at a casino night because some people don't know how to play and giving out the chips is a little harder. However, you can make it easier on yourself and dealer by changing the odds as you wish.

2) Blackjack
Blackjack is one of the most popular games at a casino whether it's real or fake. The action and odds make this a favorite among gamblers. The added bonus of this game is that it's very easy to run and most people know how to play!

3) Poker
Ever since Chris Moneymaker won the world series from playing online poker has grown in popularity. The action and ability to 'read' people makes this a classic game at any casino. There are two drawbacks to this game at your casino night. First, the people playing poker usually get really into the game and will usually stop mingling around the party. Second, to make it run smoother you need a dealer and one who knows what they're doing. That being said this is a great game and if you don't have it at your party you might be surprised to find out an impromptu game happening!

4) Craps
This game is a super fun game that makes a lot of noise at a casino with people shouting and cheering. The thrill of the game is that when one person is doing good EVERYONE is winning! This game usually requires some explanation as most people won't have played this game. However, once they have it'll be the thrill of the party!

Hopefully those four games give you a good idea of what to have at your Casino Night party. Be sure to include at least two of those games in your party and encourage 'action' at each table!

Blackjack - Rules, Supplies and Payouts

Blackjack is one of the simplest and funnest games to have at your casino themed party. You will definitely want a blackjack table (or two) at your casino as it usually ends up being one of the most popular games. This is because almost everyone knows blackjack so it's less intimidating and funner for some. This also works great for you because finding dealers who will volunteer to run Blackjack is much easier too!

Here are the basic rules in point form

• All players are dealt two cards (face up) and the dealer is dealt 1 card down and 1 card up.
• The sum of your cards is your point total where ace's are 1 or 11 and Jack, queen and king are considered a 10.
• The players are trying to beat the dealer
• The dealer must hit until he/she has something higher then 16.

  

• If the player wins he/she gets double their bet. Loses they lose their bet. If they get 21 off of their first two cards they get 1.5 to 1.

Those are the basic rules. If you are a blackjack aficionado my instructions are probably considered over simplified, however, you don't want your casino party night to be intimidating. It's best to keep things simple to help everyone out!

Blackjack Supplies

• 1 (or more) decks of cards. We recommend 3-6 as your dealer won't have to continually shuffle the deck. If you decide on one deck then purchasing a Playing Card Shuffler Each is an absolute must. The card shuffler really speeds up play so people don't get bored!
• Table Felts: Casino Game Layouts for Blackjack are a great way to make your game look and feel more realistic!



• Dealer: you will want 1 volunteer for each hour that the table will run.
• Card Shoe Each - The card shoe is where you put the cards for dealing. It's not needed but really adds that extra special blackjack touch!
• Chips for the dealer to payout to each player

Hopefully you now understand the basics of the game and have an idea of how you will setup your blackjack table!
