How does a casino night party work?

As your guests check-in, they will receive a set amount of casino chips. Unlike Vegas, no real money is won as a result of gaming. Players become eligible to win prizes as the gaming closes by exchanging their casino chips for raffle tickets used in prize drawings. Several different types of drawings can help you decide how you would like to distribute your prizes. The lead dealer will announce the winners of the night and say goodnight.

What different types of raffle drawings are available?

Standard raffle drawing:
A standard raffle has only one ticket pool for all prizes. A player's chance to win a prize is limited to the number of raffle tickets they earned by exchanging their chips at the close of the games.

Chinese drawing:
This type of drawing has a separate ticket pool for each prize. Players put raffle tickets in the ticket pool of any prize they want to win. A player's chance to win a prize is limited to the number of raffle tickets they earned by exchanging their chips at the close of the games.

Auction:
Players bid on prizes with the casino chips they have earned during the course of the night. Whoever bids the most receives the prize.

Silent auction:
Players discretely bid on prizes with vouchers they receive at the end of the games based on the number of chips they won. Whoever bids the most receives the prize.
