Casino theme dinner

As hosts, we always want to razzle dazzle our guests, but it can become increasingly tough. Especially if we’re always trying to one-up ourselves. 

Which is why we’re writing this, to help you conquer your dream of hosting the greatest party, and the best way to go is with a theme. More specifically, we’ll be looking at the best ideas for a casino-themed party. A uniquely extravagant motif that is sure to impress even the most fastidious of guests.

The Basics of Hosting a Casino-Themed Party

Before we start on the main ideas, since this party is meant to emulate the casino world, you need to make sure you have the entertainment, which is casino games, sorted. While you can try having different physical games set up, it can be incredibly challenging to host and be a dealer, and most of us can’t splurge on hiring dealers. And it would be a shame to ask any of your friends to play the part instead of partying.

We have a creative solution to this gaming conundrum – using online casino games instead. By using an interactive slot website, such as SlotsLV, you get all of the options you may wish for your guests and none of the fuss. By offering online slots, you get a lot of variation, so that no one will be stuck with a game or theme they dislike. For the traditionalists out there, there are games like 777 Deluxe or Fruit Splash that feature a fruit machine-like style. History buffs can opt for slots like Caesar’s Empire and Aztec Warrior, for instance. 

Moreover, since all of the games are mobile-compatible, you won’t even have to worry about providing a device for your guests. Just make sure you have plenty of outlets and chargers available for them, just in case.

You won’t have to worry about supervising or doing anything at all, as the games can be started and stopped at any time by the player. It’s also incredibly easy to enjoy mingling or snacking, as they would only need to put their phones away or opt to multitask.

For lovers of mythology, there are slots such as Fury of Zeus and Avalon The Lost Kingdom. Alternatively, they can always go for unique options like Elvis Frog in Vegas or even Bounty Hunter. Honestly, the options are truly endless, and they can all be great conversation starters.

You can even take this a step further, by asking your friends to suggest and then rank the games they played and then crown a winning slot at the end of the party. Perhaps, you can even give an extra goody bag to the one who suggested the game. At the very least, it will be a unique way to up the ante and it will certainly leave guests reminiscing about your party for a long time. 

Setting the Scene

While the games are very important to a casino party, it would also be quite lackluster if you didn’t put just as much thought and effort into setting everything up. Casinos tend to be classy while still being exciting. You can easily start to get your guests feeling extra, by simply advising them of a dress code, making the party even more special.

But you also have to set the scene at home. This can be achieved in many ways, which can also be easily DIYed to lower your budget. We’d recommend sticking to a red and gold color theme for this as too many colors could make it end up looking and feeling a bit tacky.

To further emulate the feeling of a casino, make sure to dim the lights. While most of us do not have chandeliers, if you do you already get bonus points for that, if you don’t fairy lights or spotlights can easily replace them in a pinch. Also, scented candles that can emulate the smell of tobacco or leather will work great as centerpieces.

Make sure your playlist is also up to par. While there are plenty of playlists available on platforms like Spotify, creating your own will add a nice touch. Think classic songs by artists like Frank Sinatra or Elvisy Pressley, alternatively, some nice jazz music will also work impeccably.

Food and Drinks

Okay, you’ve got the games covered, the scene is set, but something is still missing – the food and drinks. A party can quickly sour if your guests get hangry, so make sure there is plenty of food available.

We’d recommend sticking to easy-to-pick foods, that also create minimum mess. Unfortunately, this cuts out a lot of food, like buffalo wings, which is a pity. Luckily there are plenty of other options.

You can start off with anything in a mini tart, and when we say anything, we mean anything. You can top mini tarts with savory flavors like feta and caramelized tomatoes, or sweet options like whipped cream and strawberries. Veggie crudites with dips are another classic option, just like fruit skewers.

Mini pizzas could be a great option, but if you’re sticking to something classy, we’d go for a quiche instead. Alternatively, you could make Italian-flavored pinwheels, this way you get the classic pizza flavors but with a more fancy look.

Drinks are also very important, keep it to just a few easy options so that you don’t have to worry about taking too long to prep them for your guests. You can go for a mojito or margarita pitcher or maybe go for sangria, which is also easy to make in advance and goes great with your red color theme.

Conclusion

Hosting a casino-themed party doesn’t have to be expensive or difficult, it truly can be achieved with just a few simple additions and DIYs. As such, we hope all of the above will help you create the best environment for you and your guests. Of course, these are just some of the best tips and ideas for a great casino party, feel free to experiment as much as you want.
