Four uses for One Arm Bandits

Casino tables can be put into all kinds of parties and events. Planning a wedding? Why not have a roulette table for your guests for the evening bash?

 

But the thrill of casino games are not for everyone. Sometimes you don’t want an activity that can take over your party, or you just don’t think your guests will really get into it.

Although you’d be surprised at just how many people love these games, we understand that you may prefer something a little bit more low key; something to act as a diversion for people rather the main attraction.

That’s where One Arm Bandits are perfect.

Birthdays

Let’s make it clear – these are fun machines – they run on tokens and don’t accept real money. So they’re great for kids birthdays and even for a big kid too.

Top tip: Try to make it like being a the fair or seaside – tokens could be exchanged for sweets or prizes for the children. For adults, you can make the prizes a little bit more interesting – shots or cocktails go down nicely.

Weddings

If you don’t have a lot of space for a couple of roulette tables then a couple of One Arm Bandits will work well. You can set up a bank of them Las Vegas style, or just sit a pair in the corner along with some other wedding games.

Top tip: Have a raffle with a couple of marked tokens – hand out gifts to those who win them. These could be special cocktails – you’d be amazed at how willing people will be to play these machines if there’s a free drink in it somewhere!

Charity events

Any casino type game is perfect for a charity event – it’s the perfect way to get punters to part with their cash for your good cause. One Arm Bandits are no different. You can just charge guests for the tokens or you can make them pay for them up-front and then offer special prizes they can bid for with their tokens.

Top tip: Hand a few free tokens at the start of the night to everyone to get some interest in the machines from the beginning.

Las Vegas Casino theme night

The best way to use One Arm Bandits is to place them in their spiritual home – Las Vegas, through a theme night. Team them with craps tables, roulette and blackjack to recreate a real casino floor.

Top tip: Go the whole hog – a few props, lighting and some croupiers should complete the experience.
