Casino FAQs

What are your hours/ What is the Best Time to contact you? Our telephone is answered M-Sat 9am-5pm with 24 hour Message Service. If your call is urgent we will return it as immediate as possible or on the next business day. For quicker service, use our online Order Form or send us an Email.

Where are you located? In order to maintain low overhead and keep our Rates low, we do not have a public showroom at this time. We do lease a commercial building and you can view our equipment in person if you like, by appointment, or please visit our Casino Parties page for some great close-up pictures.

Do you have a Banquet Facility/ Party Venue? We have always came to YOU since 1997! Wherever your event is, chances are we are familiar with the facility - and will work hand-in-hand with your facility contact on details - so You don't have to! Please visit our Venues page for some great facility ideas.

Do you have References? YES. This is normally not public information. We do have over 600 clients in the region and can provide you with numerous references if you desire. Please Contact Us.

How much Notice do you need? The sooner the better for best availability. We essentially have a first come, first served policy in order to be fair to all. We do however keep you up to date if another client is interested in your tentative date and will go above and beyond to accommodate everyone. We will offer the first client the courtesy of first refusal on a tentative basis without any written contracts from another.

What is the Cost? We do offer a premium service, but our low rates are much less that our comparable competitors. Additionally, we do not try to hide our rates or refuse to give you a straight-forward quote.

Do you have Packages Deals? We are confident in the value we provide versus the cost. We work hard to maintain and update our equipment, provide an excellent service and provide excellent staff at a cost lower than the competitor. If budget is a concern we do offer Economy Equipment. If you are a non-profit, please Contact Us - we can most-likely make a donation.

Do you require a Deposit, is it Refundable? If your event is at least 180 days away, we require a 20% down payment and a signed contract. If your event is sooner, a larger deposit may be required.

Unfortunately we cannot refund a deposit once the contract is signed as we may have turned away a potential client that was interested in your date or we may have incurred expense in preparation for your event. In the event of an emergency, you may re-schedule your event and keep your deposit.

What is your Cancellation Policy? Once the contract is signed it is too late to cancel. If you must cancel, a cancellation fee will apply per your contract.

In the event of an emergency, please allow us to re-schedule your event in order to keep your deposit and not have to cancel your order.

Can I add or subtract games after the contract is signed? Unfortunately we cannot offer a client the ability to subtract items as we could have offered the item to another client; however, we would be more than happy to increase your order anytime (subject to equipment availability and dealer availability).

Do you charge a Delivery Fee? No, our rates are all inclusive, and our rates are generally less cost with delivery than our competitor is without delivery! Many of our vendors do charge an additional delivery fee, if this is the case, you will be informed well in advance.

An example of when an extra delivery fee would be incurred would be non roll-in access'. An additional fee may apply for deliveries to venues with stairs leading to the facility or the banquet rooms if there is not a freight elevator.

The typical fee for non roll-in access is $25 per Level I Game (Blackjack and like), $50 per Level II Game (6' Games) and $200 for Level III Games (8' Games).

Do your charge Mileage? Product delivery is included within the Wichita, KS city limits free of charge. Outside of Wichita, mileage charges are $1.25 per round-trip mile (or $2.50 per one-way mile) per single axle** vehicle*.

*We have to charge per mile on each vehicle needed. i.e.: a second truck or a transportation vehicle for our staff members (we typically use a passenger van or charter a bus for large staffing requirements).

** Double-Axle Vehicles (bus, etc.) $2.50 per round-trip mile.

Aircraft Service: Round-trip transportation to and from the airport is required.

Do your charge Travel Expenses? If your event requires members of our staff to travel, we will have to charge travel expenses. We only wish to cover the expenses of leaving our home city and not to profit from traveling. If we use an out of town employment agency (we occassionally use Adecco for out of town events - not in Wichita), you will not be charged for those staff members (non-qualified positions only).

We must compensate our staff members for their travel time (our staff member's normal wages are paid from the cost of the games that you order). We generally compensate our staff at or above the federal minimum wage for "windshield" time (riding time/ road time) and $10 per hour for driving time. For example: If your event is a 5 hour drive from Wichita, KS, then we will compensate each staff member for 10 hours ($50 per staff member) as well as a driver ($100).

If overnight stay required: We require one MOST CONVENIENT (if your event is at a hotel) average to above average overnight accommodation per staff member (at your discretion per our approval), or team of two staff members (we will do our best to first schedule teams of two - this will eliminate excessive hotel rooms). In addition, we require ONE SUITE per trip to double as meeting space.

Lastly, we require ONE SQUARE MEAL per staff member at your discretion.

Note: If we are only delivering equipment and not staff members, only normal mileage rates as well as road time for the driver and labor personnel will apply.

What forms of Payment do you accept?

We accept Cash (1% discount available for Cash payments).
Personal Check (Subject to verification).
Company Check or Official Check.
Money Orders or Traveler's Checks
All Major Credit Cards.

What if my event is Downstairs or Upstairs? We are still debating this question. Our competitors charge extra for non ground floor delivery but we try not to if there is an elevator that can accommodate our equipment. An extra charge will be incurred if your facility presents us with logistical hurdles such as exceptionally difficult access to a party area. Some of our vendors do charge an additional fee, if this is the case, you will be informed well in advance.

Generally, non-ground floor delivery is a $50-$100 fee and goes straight to the cost of additional laborers.

What if my party Venue places restrictions on Set-up Times? Only a handful of facilities restrict our access to specified times. We will do our best to meet your venue's requirements. In the event that your venue causes us logistical issues, there may be an additional charge. Please inform your venue contact that the best time to set-up is the morning of the event or the night before.

Can you explain your Party Planning/ Contract Process? We will first collect your interests via a face to face meeting, by telephone or through our online order form. We will then send you a complete breakdown of costs for all services (you can still pick and choose at this point) in the form of an Estimate (click here or here for some great examples). Following your approval, we will send you a formal Invoice and a Contract.

How does a Casino Party work? In a nutshell: You will receive pre-printed 'vouchers' in advance (equal to your number of guests) to effortlessly distribute funds to your guests.

Your guests will make a stop by our cashier to receive their initial funds from our tellers (provided at no cost). Players will then proceed to the game of their choice and buy chips from their dealer, just like in the casino, or they can hold their funny money for later prize opportunities.

At the end of the gaming session (our casino gaming sessions are 3 Hours or less - we have a 3 hour minimum), players will 'cash out' with their dealer or the cashier for their prize opportunities (we offer players numerous places to 'cash out' so that there will be no inconvenient long lines).

Is a Casino Party Legal? Yes, as long as there is no gambling. We remove the "consideration" (the aspect of gambling when players must pay money to play) in that everyone receives a stack of funny money with no cash investment. Please see our Charity Fundraisers page for more information.

Do you provide Play Money? Yes. We provide plenty of colored funny money for your guests in $1,000, $5,000 and $25,000 denominations. We also offer Custom Funny Money.

Do you provide Prizes? We can provide your prizes if you wish for us to shop for and deliver your prizes to your venue, this is an optional service.

How do I Give Away my prizes? We offer FOUR great prize methods, an Auction, Raffle, Gift Shop and Giveaway. We provide Free Prize Facilitation for groups under 100 people. For groups over 100 we can provide prize facilitation for $1 per person. If we do not facilitate your prizes, we still provide all the tools. TIP: Consider a Master of Ceremonies and delegate him with prize facilitation! For more information see Prize Methods.

Do you provide a Pit Boss? Yes. We provide ample staffing for all aspects of your casino. We also offer many optional services involving Live Performers. Please see our Master of Ceremonies for an all-around group service in all capacities. Also see Concierge and Host.

Are your Dealers/ Staff experienced, how are they Dressed? Our staff is drawn from a pool of over 200 vendors, employees and independent contractors. Additionally, we generally do not use temporary help unless at your request, if the event requires professional models or occasionally at out-of-town events only.

Every dealer has been with us at least one year and our dealers know their game and also what NOT to do. Trust our lively, highly-trained, highly-skilled, interactive dealers to be great teachers and the life of the party!

And our dealers will not arrive in just a tux shirt and bow tie! We have strict uniform dress standards and provide dealer aprons and ID. Additionally our tux shirts are black, as well as our summer shirts with logo.

What type of Gaming Cheques (Chips) do you offer? We use the absolute best Cheques in the industry. Some companies arrive with economy plastic chips in buckets! We enter with fancy, colorful edge-spotted, inlaid fine gaming cheques organized in large chips trays.

What if Chips are Lost? The cheques that we provide are VERY costly. In addition we must order a minimum of one thousand chips from our supplier.

We will do a simple yet thorough chip count with you 30 minutes before the start of gaming. After the gaming session we will sort and recount the cheques.

We encourage you to inform all of your players that we will need all of our chips back, additionally we will make several announcements throughout the gaming session that fabulous prizes are available and to make sure to redeem all chips and funny money.

We have found that this method works quite well and normally receive all of our chips back. In the event that any chips are not returned, there will be a $2 charge per each lost chip.

Do you rent just Chips? Yes, $50 per $1000 (for the best in the industry) with Trays. We also rent individual table or personal chip trays.

What are your most Popular Games? Blackjack is the all time favorite, a genuine classic. Poker has experienced a recent upswing. We see two future scenarios: Poker will 'die back down' (as most fads do) ... OR... People may embrace additional popular casino games, like: Craps, Roulette, Three Card Poker, Let it Ride, Red Dog, Pai Gow, Baccarat or Big Wheels (listed in order of popularity).

Do you allow Food, Drink or Smoking at your Tables? We strive to provide you with clean, fresh layouts on all our tables.

We do allow food or drink at our tables, however, a cleaning fee may be incurred for food stains or excessive spillage at our discretion.
