If you're looking for a new fundraiser that's sure to be a great draw and a lot of fun, plan a casino night on a yacht. Why would you plan this event on a yacht? Your guests will live up to the air of luxury and spend more. You'll have a "captive" audience for the length of your event. And you'll have the allure of the water, for your guests who might not be gamers by nature, a fabulous setting. These ships would make great casino venues
Let’s say you have an event with a ticket price of $100. Guests might get 20 chips to start a value of $20. We would suggest $5 min at tables to keep things moving and interesting. Whenever they want, guests can purchase additional chips. They would donate $100 to the cause and get 100 chips if your value system is $1 = 1 chip. If you think your crowd might be more price sensitive, you can say donate $25 get 100 chips.
When the time comes to cash out, you have different options. Most organizations have collected donations. You can hold a straight raffle or a chinese raffle. Or you can have an auction, where participants bid with chips. You can also simply award the prizes to top winners.
Professional dealers and decorations will enhance the quality of the event so go with a company who comes well recommended!
