Use the power of a casino to ante up
your fundraising advantage! We work
with you to ensure that the casino tables
are not just for entertainment, but a
tool for maximizing your fundraising
potential. Ask about re-buys and other
special offers that will be provided
throughout the evening to increase
donations organically and effortlessly.
You can increase revenues by soliciting
sponsors for each of the casino tables.
This will not only increase your donations
but will provide a unique and engaging
platform for sponsors to reach their
audiences. Remember, when you are at
the casino, the House always wins…
GENERAL FAQ’S
How do the guests play?
Guests are handed a voucher at the
beginning of your event. Guests can
then exchange these vouchers at any
casino table for chips to begin playing
at the casino. If they wish to move to
another table, they can “cash-out” and
visit their next table of choice.
Do you play with real money?
No. Guests play with real casino chips
but with no real money value. When a
guest “cashes-out,” they are given funny
money to use at their next table. At the
end of the evening, all their winnings are
exchanged into raffle tickets. You, the
host, can then hold a raffle drawing for
prizes if you wish to do so. Exchange rates
can be modified based on event needs.
How can you do fundraising then?
Fundraising revenue comes from the
ticket sales to the casino gala and from
the re-selling of the casino vouchers.
You and your team have ultimate
control on the price and value of the
casino vouchers. As part of our services,
we provide FREE consultation on how
to maximize your fundraising efforts and
successfully plan your casino fundraiser.
Do I have to provide prizes?
Yes and no… prizes make the gaming
enticing and give your guests something
to “play” for, but it does not have to be
an element of your casino party. If you
do want to provide prizes, think small
and useful: gift cards, food/beverage,
and online discount deals.

ABOUT EDGAR
“Different, unique, and memorable…”
these are the words Edgar Comellas
uses to describe his casino business and
his life. Born in Puerto Rico, he moved to
the Orlando area in 1996 and began to
fall in love with the idea of entertainment
and hospitality. A graduate of UCF,
Edgar studied Environmental Science
and before opening his business
in 2013, worked as the Education
Manager for organizations such as
SeaWorld and the Orlando Science
Center. A literal “garage start-up,”
Edgar acquired a few casino tables and
began renting them out of his home
through online classified ads and word
of mouth. Five years later, hundreds of
parties, a couple dozen more tables,
and an MBA… Edgar has proven that
taking risks, believing in yourself, and
education are still the perfect recipe for
entrepreneur success.
