(Newswire.net — November 3, 2013) Cherry Hill, NJ — Legalized gambling came to the state of New Jersey in 1978. The first casino to open was Resorts International. Since that time there have been 11 more casinos to open up in Atlantic City alone. Up until that time there was only one other place to gamble legally and that we all know is Las Vegas. You would be hard presses to find a state that doesn’t partake in some form of gambling be it casinos, slot parlors, or at least the lottery.
The thought of running your own casino, even if it’s only for one night has a tremendous appeal to many people looking for an alternative to your typical back yard BBQ, or a sit down dinner where you have to listen to some boring speeches all evening. There are many different choices when it comes to running your own casino night. From a full blown casino with slot machines and cocktail waitresses, to just a couple black jack tables, the options are many.
On any given evening and especially on the weekends chances are you can find some sort of Texas Hold Em tournament on TV, or a “things to do while in Vegas” travel show. When you combine all of the TV exposure with the fact that there seems to be a casino on every corner these days you can easily see why people enjoy these theme parties.
There seems to be casino night events for all occasions.
You often heard about a certain charity hold one for this cause or another. “You would be surprised how often and how many casino nights are held in New Jersey,” mentioned Dan Costello a former casino floor boss talking at a local golf outing.
Casino nights can be extremely fun and entertaining if you can locate the right company to run one. A lot of these companies have great quality tables, equipment, and dealers. The dealers can really make the evening. Some have experience in working in actual casinos, and can really make the evening enjoyable when they have a great attitude. But by the same token I’ve seen some of these events where the tables look like they have been locked down someone’s musty basement for years and haven’t been used.
Naturally all casino nights are just for fun and prizes at best. You would have to believe that local law enforcement would tend to frown on someone running their own casino for real money. Of course I’ve heard of a few instances where that may not have been the case. But that’s for another article someday down the road.
It seems that there are more companies than ever that are advertising that they can run casino nights. I’m a big fan and have been to plenty of them in my life. But as I mentioned earlier, and I would have to say again that if you re are interested in running one, make sure you check them out and get references because just if someone went out and bought some casino equipment does not mean in any way the they can run a quality event.
So the next time you’re thinking about getting your casino boss face on and you start to look for casino rentals in New Jersey, make sure you do your homework, and choose the right company. You’ll be glad you did and everyone will have a great time.
