What is your booking policy?
Unlike most companies that require 50% deposit, we at Maxbet Entertainment require only a 25% down payment (of the total party cost) to reserve your the tables and most importantly the dealers. The balance of 75% is paid when the party is finished by check or cash. If credit card payment is desired, just let us know 48 hours prior to the event and we will generate a secure link to our credit card processing company so that you may process the payment in the comfort of your home or office.
Do the party guests need to be 21?
Since we provide our services "Just For Fun!", party guests can be of any age. As a matter of fact 25% of the events we service are for Birthday Parties, Bar Mitzvahs / Bat Mitzvahs, Sweet 16, Graduations, Quinces, etc...
Are casino theme parties legal?
The most common question people ask when they hear about casino parties is, "Is this legal?"
The answer is YES. What makes it legal is that in spite of the appearance of a casino, there is no actual gambling going on. It's all make-believe, pretend, fantasy gambling. You can bet as much as you want, lose as much as you want and win as much as you want, and you walk away with the same amount of money you started with. That's because only play money is used, usually in the form of chips, that have no real monetary value. And even though most people will play the games just for the fun of playing (or the education and experience they can gain), sometimes it makes the whole event more exciting if there is something to shoot for a reward for being "number one."
That's why most casino theme parties provide one or more non-cash prizes for the guests that earn the highest winnings (or chips) by the end of the event. Prizes can be as elaborate as a new car, a trip to Las Vegas, or a wide-screen television set. Or they can be as simple as a free lunch at a local restaurant or a plaque or other type of award. Guests can be any age to play.

How does a Casino Theme Party work?
The term "Casino Theme Party" is used to describe an event, where people come together to play games commonly found in casinos in Las Vegas, Monte Carlo or Atlantic City, but do not actually wager money or other things of value. A casino themed party may be held as a fund-raiser activity for a non-profit charity organization, Texas Hold-em Tournament or it may be a private celebration held by an individual, group or employer.
The major difference between the two is that those who attend a fund-raising casino party are usually asked to make a donation for admission to the event, whereas those who attend a private casino party are usually simply invited to come and have fun. At either event, guests arrive to find a variety of casino games available for their amusement (Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, Poker or Texas Hold-em, Slot Machines and more). Guests are usually given a fixed amount of "Funny Money". This play money can be personalize with your company logo, picture of the CEO, Birthday person's picture, etc. Guests then take their play money to their favorite game table in exchange for chips and try to win as much as they can during the course of the evening. At the end of the evening, the guests turn in their chips for raffle tickets. Prizes can be raffled off or an auction can be held and guests can bid on prizes with their raffle tickets.
