Casino Party Fundraiser:
Planning a Successful Casino Party Fundraiser in Wisconsin
A casino party fundraiser is a highly popular method for non-profit organizations to raise funds effectively. Hosting a casino night or poker night for your fundraising event not only entertains your guests but also contributes significantly to your non-profit organization’s financial goals. Our casino night events are designed to replicate the authentic look and feel of a real casino, creating an immersive experience for all attendees.
One crucial factor that every successful fundraiser shares is a substantial turnout. When people show up to your event, they are more likely to engage in gaming and contribute to your fundraising efforts, ultimately boosting your profits. Let us assist you in promoting your fundraiser by providing innovative fundraising ideas, free online advertising support, and access to our network of local players eager to support your noble cause.

About Vegas on Wheels

This company started with 15 blackjack tables and now offers a variety of games and services including Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, Poker, Photobooths, DJ’s, Decorations and more!

How does a casino night fundraiser work?
As your guests check-in at the cashier, they will receive a set amount of casino chips. We recommend a starting amount between $500 and $1000. Money is raised for your organization through the pre-sale tickets, purchases of additional chips, raffle tickets or food & beverages.
Unlike Las Vegas, no real money is won as a result of gaming. Players become eligible to win prizes as casino night closes by exchanging their casino chips for raffle tickets. Prizes would need to be donated for several drawings at the end of the evening. A players chance to win a prize is limited by the number of raffle tickets they earned by playing the casino games. As an example: The dealers, managers, and cashiers can exchange $500.00 in chips for 1 raffle ticket.
Customer is respectable for all local and state laws and permits.
Check list for day of the event
- Set up early at the facility
- Change should be available at the “cash desk”
- Test P.A System/microphone to announce prizes.
- Have sponsors signs and table numbers to place on all casino tables
- If interested in having dealers with matching attire, look into options like bow-ties, shirt and dealer hats available for volunteer dealers
- Designate all tasks ahead of time – specifically breakdown and clean up
- Keep thorough notes for your next event – the second time is always easier
