Nine ways to put a table in the middle of your evening

Same crew, same kit, same written limits. What changes is the pace, the crew-to-guest ratio and how much of the evening the tables are asked to carry.

Choosing

Start with the room, not the format

Nearly every brief we receive names the wrong format first. That is fine — the floor plan corrects it quickly.

The question that actually decides your evening is how much standing room sits behind each table. A roulette table needs people two deep around three sides of it to feel alive, and that takes considerably more floor than the table footprint suggests. A blackjack table works happily in a corner with seven seats and a metre behind them.

So when you send a brief, send the room with it: a floor plan if you have one, a photograph if you do not, and the guest count. We will tell you how many tables the space genuinely holds, which is sometimes fewer than you hoped and occasionally more.

The second question is what else the evening has to do. If there are speeches, a plated dinner and an awards segment, the tables need to be a backdrop that guests return to between items. If the tables are the evening, the format changes and so does the crew.

  • Send: the date, the venue, the guest count and whatever floor plan exists.
  • You get back: a recommended format, a table count, a crew count and a written quote.
  • You do not get: a hard sell for more tables than your room can hold.

Side by side

The nine formats, compared honestly

Guest counts are the comfortable range rather than the hard limit. The absolute ceiling is up to 350 guests and up to 6 hours of running time.

Comparison of Chip & Chance event formats
FormatComfortable guest rangeTablesBest whenNeeds from you
Corporate casino evenings 60–350 3–8 A function has to hold a mixed room past the speeches Floor plan and a run sheet
Private parties 20–120 1–3 Adult guests who do not all know each other A room and a doorway we can carry through
VIP experiences 12–60 2–4 Attention matters more than scale A quiet space and a guest list
Roulette, blackjack & poker tables Any 1 upwards You want the tables and nothing else Power and a level floor
Poker-themed dinner 20–140 2–6 A seated dinner needs something between courses Your caterer’s service times
Mobile table hire Any 1 upwards The venue is remote, or you run the event yourself Access details and load-in route
Team building 16–160 2–8 You need a facilitated outcome, not just a party Team structure and session length
Hosts & croupiers only Any Yours You own the tables and need the people Kit list and call times
Full production & branding 60–350 3–10 You would rather brief one supplier than five Brand assets and a budget range

No format on this list involves money at the table. Chips are symbolic throughout, and nothing can be exchanged for money or for anything of monetary value — see the Responsible Entertainment notice.

In detail

Every format, in its own words

Each page covers who it suits, what is included, how the evening runs, guest numbers and timings — and why it is entertainment rather than gambling.

VIP Experiences

Short guest lists and high attention: reserved tables, a dedicated host at each one and a slower, quieter run of play.

Pricing

Quoted on request

We do not publish a rate card, because two events with the same guest count can need very different crews and kit. Pricing depends on event size, venue and chosen format, and we prepare a quote based on your bespoke event concept.
