Christmas Roulette Hire in London

Casinos gaming includes games like roulette and blackjack where players compete against the “house” or a banker, rather than against one another on equal terms.

Commercial casino gaming is licensed and regulated by the Gambling Commission. If you wish to provide casinos gaming on a commercial basis you should consult the Commission: www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk.

Clubs and miners’ welfare institutes that hold a club gaming permit issued by their local licensing authority may provide facilities for two specific types of “banker’s” game: chemin de fer and pontoon (blackjack is not permitted). A maximum participation fee of £3 per person, per day may be charged for this gaming, but no amounts may be deducted from either stakes or prizes. See the separate fact sheet on “Gaming in clubs” for further details.

Organisations that wish to provide casinos games for charitable or other noncommercial purposes (e.g. to raise funds for a club or society) may do so under the prize gaming provisions in Part 14 of the Act. Non-commercial gaming of this kind may only take place at events where none of the proceeds from the event itself are used for private gain. For these purposes, the proceeds of an event constitute the sums raised by its organisers (including sums raised by way of participation fees, sponsorship, commission from traders, or otherwise) minus the costs reasonably incurred in organising the event. However, sums raised by other persons will not form part of the proceeds of the event and so may be appropriated for private gain. An example would be refreshments provided at the event by an independent third party. Non-commercial gaming may be an ancillary activity or the only or principal purpose of the event. To qualify as prize gaming, the prizes (whether in cash or in kind) should be put up in advance, and must not be dependent on the number of players taking part or the amount of money staked. The players participating in non-commercial gaming must also be told what “good cause” is to benefit from the profits from the gaming. There are no statutory limits on stakes, prizes, participation fees or other charges for this type of noncommercial gaming. No licence, permit or other form of permission is required to operate this kind of gaming provided that the statutory conditions are complied with.

Private casino gaming may take place in two sets of circumstances. Domestic gaming: in a private dwelling, on a domestic occasion. Residential gaming: in a hostel, hall of residence or similar establishment (but not on premises operated as a trade, corporate or business) provided that the majority of those taking part are residents. No charge may be made for participation in private gaming (and that includes an entrance fee or other charge for admission), nor may any amounts be deducted from stakes or prizes. Private gaming may not be provided in any place to which the public have access, and no profits may be made from it, regardless of the purpose to which they may be put. NB. This fact sheet is intended to provide a general explanation of the circumstances in which “casinos nights” can be operated under the Gambling Act 2005. It does not deal with every detail of the legislative provisions, or with the individual circumstances of a particular case. This fact sheet does not constitute legal advice and is not a substitute for the relevant legal provisions. If you are in any doubt about the legality of any gambling activities that you intend to promote or for which you intend to provide facilities, you are strongly advised to seek independent legal advice.

No previous experience is needed. Our croupiers explain how the roulette layout works, introduce straightforward choices such as red or black and guide guests through each round. People can watch a spin before placing any chips, giving them time to become comfortable with the game. There is no need to learn every type of bet before taking part. More experienced players can enjoy the wider layout, while beginners start with the options they understand. This makes roulette suitable for Christmas parties where guests have different levels of experience and want an activity they can enjoy at their own pace.

Our Christmas roulette entertainment uses event chips or fun money, so guests do not need to bet their own cash on each spin. The focus is on enjoying the game, sharing the excitement of the wheel and spending time together. The croupier explains how the chips are used before guests begin playing. This helps everyone understand the format, particularly those who have only seen roulette in a commercial casino. If you have additional ideas for a competitive finish, discuss them when planning the event so the proposed arrangements can be considered before the booking and event schedule are finalised.

Yes. Roulette can be combined with other games to create a Christmas casino with several attractions. Blackjack offers short card rounds against the dealer, while poker provides a different style of play for guests who enjoy a longer game. The most suitable combination depends on your guest numbers, available space and entertainment schedule. A smaller gathering may suit roulette and one additional table, while a larger party may benefit from several playing areas. Choosing different games gives people more ways to participate and allows them to move between activities as they enjoy the rest of the celebration throughout the evening.

Yes. Opening the roulette table after dinner can give the evening a clear change of pace once guests have finished eating and any speeches are complete. It can also work during welcome drinks or alongside other entertainment, depending on your plans. The important details are when the team can access the venue, when setup must be finished and how long the table will operate. Share your approximate running order so these arrangements can be discussed together. If the casino is intended as a surprise, the venue will also need to understand the setup and access requirements before guests arrive.

Viva Vegas provides casino entertainment across London, including central venues and locations elsewhere in the city. We can discuss Christmas roulette hire for celebrations in areas such as Westminster, the City, Mayfair, South Bank and Canary Wharf. Your full venue address helps us assess delivery and setup requirements. It is also useful to share the event floor, lift availability, loading arrangements and any restricted access times. The room needs space for the table, croupier and guests gathering around the layout, as well as comfortable movement nearby. These details help establish a suitable arrangement for your chosen London Christmas party venue.

Enquire once your preferred date and venue are confirmed so there is time to check availability and discuss the equipment, staffing and event schedule. Christmas parties often involve several suppliers working within the same venue, making early coordination useful. Your initial enquiry should include the date, venue address, estimated attendance and the times you would like roulette to operate. If some details are still being decided, provide the information available and explain what remains open. For an approaching event, availability will need to be checked against the specific date and requirements rather than assumed from a general enquiry alone.
