How much space does a casino party need at home?

Each 8'x4' casino table needs about a 10'x6' footprint to give players and dealers comfortable room to stand. A typical 40–60 guest home party runs on 2–3 tables, which fits well in a finished basement, great room, or a two-car garage with the cars pulled out.

Do guests need to know how to play?

No. Our dealers teach every game to every skill level — most first-timers are placing bets confidently within five minutes. That's why casino parties work so well for mixed-age birthdays where not everyone is a card player.

Can you set up outdoors or in a garage?

Yes — we regularly set up in garages, covered patios, barns, tents, and finished basements across Upstate NY. Tables need a flat surface and cover from rain. We'll walk your space over the phone before your event.

Is real money involved?

No. Every guest gets an equal stack of our custom play money at the door — no buy-ins, no cash at the tables. It stays fun, legal, and inclusive for every guest.

A birthday casino party from The Dealers turns a living room, garage, or backyard tent into a Vegas-quality floor for the night. Every guest gets a stack of custom play money at the door, our dealers teach anyone any game in five minutes, and the top chip counts claim your prize table at the end of the night. No real gambling — just real memories.

Perfect for

Beginner-friendly gameplay and dealers who love teaching first-timers means every guest — from your poker-shark cousin to your parents — has a seat at the table.

30th, 40th & 50th

The milestone birthday that becomes the party of the year. Cocktail attire, a casino floor in the basement, guests still texting you about it Monday morning.

60th, 70th & Beyond

A tasteful, elegant evening built around conversation and low-stakes fun — not a loud DJ and a crowded dance floor. Standing tables convert to seated on request.

Retirement Parties

Send them off with a private casino night instead of another sheet cake in the breakroom. Great for co-workers who want to celebrate outside the office.

Sweet Sixteens & 21st

Age-appropriate tables and prize structures your guests actually remember. Play money keeps parents comfortable and the night 100% legal.

Rehearsal Dinners

A relaxed, social alternative to a sit-down dinner speech marathon. Family from both sides mix at the tables instead of splitting to opposite corners.

Just Because

You don't need a milestone. A backyard, a Saturday, a few friends who owe you a rematch — sometimes that's reason enough for a casino floor.
