Format 01

Secret Agent Night

A black-tie spy night: two themed tables, a briefing desk at the door where guests collect a code name, and four short missions that run between the tables. It suits groups that want a dress code and a story rather than a dance floor.

What is included

  • roulette table 240 x 120 cm and blackjack table 180 x 90 cm
  • 2 croupier-hosts and 1 host in character for 6 hours
  • briefing desk with 160 printed code-name cards
  • 4 mission stations with props and printed instructions
  • photo wall 3 x 2 m with a city-skyline backdrop
  • 6 LED light points in two colours plus 2 haze-free effects
  • DJ set and 2 microphones
  • 400 prop chips and 8 card decks

The venue needs

From 90 m2 for two tables and the mission stations. One 230 V outlet per station group, 2 kW in total.

Adaptable inside the price

Run the missions as a scored team game, add a third table, or drop the character host and keep the croupier-hosts only.

Themed Poker Tournament

A tournament evening for a group that wants one activity done properly. Guests are seated at four tables, play down to a final table and the host runs the bracket from a screen. Chips are props, there is no buy-in and nothing is played for money.

What is included

  • 4 dealer-hosts and 1 tournament host for 5 hours
  • bracket screen 55 inches on a stand, run by the host

  • sound system 2 x 400 W and 2 microphones
  • a trophy for the final table, supplied as a prop

The venue needs

From 100 m2 for four tables with seating around them. Two 230 V outlets for the screen and the sound.

Adaptable inside the price

Run two shorter tournaments instead of one, add a side table with blackjack, or re-cut the bracket for an odd number of players.

Format 03

Pokies-Style Machine Zone

Equipment hire rather than a program: we deliver pokies-style machines to your venue, place them, plug them in, keep a host on the zone and take them away afterwards. The cabinets show the familiar slots reels and buttons, so the zone reads instantly to guests. Each machine runs on its own internal free-play credits, so there is nothing to insert and nothing to collect.

What is included

  • 2 to 8 pokies-style machines, chosen at the planning call
  • machine footprint 75 x 60 x 180 cm, 95 kg each
  • one 230 V outlet per two machines, 400 W per machine
  • delivery, placement and cable covers for the zone
  • 1 zone host for the full program, 6 hours
  • zone signage with the 18+ notice and the free-play notice
  • 4 LED light points to light the zone evenly
  • set-up and pack-down inside the agreed window

The venue needs

From 2.5 m2 of floor per machine against a wall, plus circulation. Ground floor or a lift with a 95 kg capacity and a door at least 80 cm wide. Trolley access from the vehicle to the room without steps.

Adaptable inside the price

Change the number of machines, split the zone across two rooms, or book the zone alongside a table format instead of on its own.

Each machine plays on its own internal credit balance. Credits are given by the machine, cannot be bought, topped up or cashed out, and the result is not exchanged for anything. Entry to the zone is 18+.

On the night

How theseformatsrun.

  1. Welcome and rules

    Hosts meet guests at the entrance, hand out prop chips and explain each table in two minutes. No prior knowledge is needed.

  2. Rotation

    Guests move between tables in their own time. Croupier-hosts keep the pace, explain plays and keep the conversation going.

  3. Close

    The host closes the program from the microphone, thanks the room and hands the floor back to your MC or the DJ.

The host and the animators run the program; your coordinator only has to confirm the floor plan and the timings. Worked timelines

  • Chips and credits are props: not sold, not topped up, and never exchanged for money, goods, vouchers or valuable prizes.

FAQ

Questionsabout thisfamily.

Do guests need to know how to play?

No. Every table has a croupier-host whose job is to explain the rules in a couple of minutes and keep the table moving. Most guests learn a table in one round.

What exactly are the chips?

Props with no denomination printed on them. They are not sold, cannot be bought or topped up, and cannot be exchanged for money, goods, vouchers or valuable prizes.

Can we combine a table night with slot machine hire?

Yes. The machine zone is quoted as its own position, so it can sit next to any of the table formats or inside a casino-themed evening. Two to eight machines, one host, delivered and packed down with the rest of the equipment.
