If you are going to make a casino or poker roomsyou�????????????????????????????????????????????????�???????????????????????????????????????????????�??????????????????????????????????????????????�?????????????????????????????????????????????�????????????????????????????????????????????�???????????????????????????????????????????�??????????????????????????????????????????�?????????????????????????????????????????�????????????????????????????????????????�???????????????????????????????????????�??????????????????????????????????????�?????????????????????????????????????�????????????????????????????????????�???????????????????????????????????�??????????????????????????????????�?????????????????????????????????�????????????????????????????????�???????????????????????????????�??????????????????????????????�?????????????????????????????�????????????????????????????�???????????????????????????�??????????????????????????�?????????????????????????�????????????????????????�???????????????????????�??????????????????????�?????????????????????�????????????????????�???????????????????�??????????????????�?????????????????�????????????????�???????????????�??????????????�?????????????�????????????�???????????�??????????�?????????�????????�???????�??????�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??re your charity event you have to have a place to put it.

Find dealers Some of the better rental places will have people for hire who can run the games for your charity Casino Night.
Advertising There is no point in throwing an event if no one will show up. Remember how you advertise will determine who will show up. if you want a more upscale crowd you have to target your advertising for them. Some ideas would be go to hospitals and place flyers in the doctor�????????????????????????????????????????????????�???????????????????????????????????????????????�??????????????????????????????????????????????�?????????????????????????????????????????????�????????????????????????????????????????????�???????????????????????????????????????????�??????????????????????????????????????????�?????????????????????????????????????????�????????????????????????????????????????�???????????????????????????????????????�??????????????????????????????????????�?????????????????????????????????????�????????????????????????????????????�???????????????????????????????????�??????????????????????????????????�?????????????????????????????????�????????????????????????????????�???????????????????????????????�??????????????????????????????�?????????????????????????????�????????????????????????????�???????????????????????????�??????????????????????????�?????????????????????????�????????????????????????�???????????????????????�??????????????????????�?????????????????????�????????????????????�???????????????????�??????????????????�?????????????????�????????????????�???????????????�??????????????�?????????????�????????????�???????????�??????????�?????????�????????�???????�??????�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??s lounges, take out ads in the playbills at the areas theaters and another good idea is to put an advertisement in the windows of the areas fine dinning establishments. Also make sure your advertising is out on the streets no less then 45 days before your event. The last thing you want is no one showing up because they did not have enough notice.
Get prizes. Because you are trying to raise money for charity you can not spend too much on prizes, but if you can get local stores to give donations, which are tax deductible, you can get much better prizes like a nice meal from a nice restaurant or tickets to the theater, some places may give gift certificates. Under no circumstances should you but prizes like stuffed animals or something cheap like that. If you can not get donations it is better to offer no prizes other then the satisfaction that Casino Night is raising money for charity. Once you have collected your prizes make a list going from the most valuable to the least valuable.
The night of the event in the entrance place a table this is not the cashiers table. People can now exchange their money for chips and let the fun begin.
They way it works is that people use real cash to purchase chips. Then they play the games with the chips at the end of the night when people leave they get a receipt for their chips and the top winners get the prizes, and the charity of your choice gets a nice payday.
The same thing can be done for a charity poker game, and if you are looking to make a large sum of money you can approach a land based casino and see if they will let you use some of their poker tables in the casino. This is not as far fetched an idea as you may think. The casinos get a tax write off for allowing the tables to be used for a charity event and it benefits you because they may pay for some of the advertising and lets face it that have more money for this then your charity does.
