Casino Night fundraisers are operated persuant to State Lottery Law. Any ticket price or entry fee charged for the event may be for entertainment or food, but must not be a requirement for entry to the Casino. If you are unsure of the legal background of your fundraiser, feel free to call and discuss it with us while planning your event.

Casinos make profit incrementally, 1/2-1% at a time. Everything we do at a 4S Lets Play Party Casino fundraiser makes a small difference, gains a small edge. We strive to keep the players at the slot machines and tables, smiling and reaching into their pockets through the whole evening.

Scrip or "Funny Money"

When your players come into 4S Casino, they will receive Scrip: a Casino note usually for 10 or 20 points. Casino action is in points; dollars are for the volunteers accepting donations. The scrip may be exchanged at any table for chips or at a token table for slot machine tokens. If a player runs out of scrip they may make a donation to the organization, or re-buy, for additional scrip. You will need volunteers to accept your donations and handle your organization's monies. These volunteers should be posted at a cashier table, the slot machine token table and roaming the Casino. By selling additional "funny money," you're organization will bring in additional monies to support your cause.

Casino Time and Early Bird Slots

At 4S Lets Play Party Casino event, every minute is a fundraising opportunity, not to be wasted. A full dinner in the middle of the event will draw people away from the tables and slot machines. Set the Casino time too late and the players just tire out. Many players choose to arrive fashionably late by a half-hour or so. We have this group of players for a limited time for an expressed purpose. We have to capitalize on the opportunity presented.

Choosing Equipment and Sponsorships

Our expert sales staff can assist you in selecting not only the right amount of equipment, but which type would be most appropriate, based on your expected turnout. We work with your budget, and give you recommendations based on our extensive background with other non-profit organizations and their success with casino night fundraisers with us.

Ask for Sponsorships to help pay for your Casino Night equipment, dealers, delivery, etc. Have receipts ready for your Sponsors, encouraging them to make their donations for tax benefits. Offsetting the cost of the equipment before tickets or scrip is sold will start your fundraiser off with a very positive start!

Redonation

When a player runs out of chips or slot tokens to play with, they may make a donation to receive more scrip or tokens. You will need volunteers to handle the donations. 4S Personnel will not handle your organization's monies. Post your volunteers at a Cashier Table, at the Slot Token Table and wandering around the Casino. When a player runs out at the table, there should be no reason for them to walk across the room to get more scrip, and run the risk of distraction by food or conversation and the like. A dealer can just call over a Roaming Scrip Seller to take care of the player.

Volunteers and Professional Dealers

Your volunteers are the most active participants at the event. As players, they would probably be your biggest spenders. Limit the volunteers to 2 hour shifts. More people may be willing to volunteer and everyone will get a chance to play. If you have 6 volunteer positions, you will need 12 volunteers. Using volunteers can help reduce the cost of your event.

Professional dealers offer speed and accuracy. Professional dealers will deal twice as many nands as most volunteers. This translates into twice as many opportunities for the organization to raise funds. Moreover, professional dealers provide the accuracy that keeps the game fair.

Craps, roulette, and slot machines require the experties of a professional dealer. Some organizations use volunteer dealers for blackjack. The benefit is the money saved by not hiring professional dealers. However, there is risk. Volunteer dealers are sometimes generous with payouts, or mistakenly pay twice. Often they forget that chips are cheques that represent monies belonging to the organization. One mistake of one red checque costs $2.50; one black cheque costs $50.00. To alleviate this, a training session may be arranged with one of our instructors. Training will help volunteers to understand the responsibility of their duty and will teach procedures that reduce mistakes.
