Process
Six weeks, or nine days if that is what you have
The sequence below is how a booking actually runs, including the two points where we are most likely to tell you something you did not want to hear.
- 18+
- Offline event entertainment
- No real-money gambling
- No betting
- No cash prizes
- No online casino
The sequence
From first message to a clean room
-
You send four fields
Name, phone, event type and date. That is enough for us to tell you whether the crew is free, which is the only question that matters at this stage.
-
A planning call
Fifteen minutes, usually. We ask about the room, the guest count, what else is in the programme and what the evening is really for. There is no charge and no obligation.
-
The floor plan conversation
The first point where we may disagree with you. We will tell you how many tables your room genuinely holds, and it is sometimes fewer than you hoped.
-
A written quote
One document: format, table count, crew, timings, travel, delivery, and a plain list of what is excluded. The no-money, no-prizes terms are in it, not attached later.
-
Booking and paperwork
A signed quote and a booking retainer hold the date. Certificates of insurance go to your venue directly, and we will complete whatever vendor forms the venue requires.
-
The run sheet
Shared with you, your venue and your caterer. It marks load-in, doors, where the tables go quiet for your programme, open play, close and strike.
-
The night
Crew arrives two to three hours before doors. Your named floor lead holds the run sheet and is the only person you need to find if something changes.
-
Strike and follow-up
Tables are packed, the room is left clean, and you get one email afterwards asking what we should do differently. Not a marketing sequence.
Where we push back
Two conversations we would rather have early
Both are easier before you have signed anything.
The first is table count. Guests do not stand in the table footprint, they stand around it, two deep on three sides if the table is working. That means a room that looks like it holds six tables often holds four comfortably, and six badly. We would rather quote four and have the evening work than quote six and watch guests shuffle past each other all night.
The second is the programme. If your run sheet has speeches, a plated dinner, an awards segment and a band, there may not be enough evening left for the tables to do anything useful. In that case we will say so, and occasionally we will suggest a smaller booking than you asked for, or a different format entirely.
Neither conversation is a negotiating tactic. We have no interest in delivering an evening that gets politely described afterwards as “nice”.
- Floor plan first. Send a plan or a photograph and the guest count.
- Programme second. Tell us everything else that has to happen that evening.
- Then the quote. Written, itemised, with exclusions stated plainly.
Boundaries
What we will not do
Published here rather than left for a conversation on the night, because it has occasionally cost us a booking and that is the correct outcome.

Service limits
Offline entertainment only. This is strictly offline event entertainment. There is no real-money gambling, no betting, no cash prizes, and no online casino service. Guests play with symbolic chips and points that hold no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for anything of value. Events are for adults aged 18+ and over.
Symbolic chips only
Guests receive unmarked chips or points at the start of the evening. They carry no monetary value, cannot be purchased, cannot be cashed out and cannot be exchanged for anything of value.
18+, checked at the door
Our hosts support your venue in checking age on entry. We do not run events for under-age guests and we do not market to them.
Offline, in your venue
Everything happens in a physical room, with physical tables and a human host. We operate no platform where anyone can play, and no app.

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.

The planning call costs nothing
Even if you end up not booking, you will come away knowing how many tables your room holds and whether the format suits your programme.
