Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ) (*indicates links to photos) Q: How does the Casino
Party work? A: Every attendee gets $500 in chips and
can bet at any of the games. There is a roulette*
table, a craps* table, a Texas Hold 'Em (poker) table, and
several blackjack* tables. After the tables close, we auction* the grand prizes*. People bid on the prizes using the chips they have won. If you don't
win many chips, there is also a raffle prize, but you must be present to win.
Q: When will the party
be over? A: The tables will close at 10:30PM, and
the auction will start shortly thereafter. The auction will end by 11:00PM. Q: What if I have to
leave early? A: There are additional prizes available
for those who leave early or who don't get a prize in the auction. All
attendees must leave with a prize! Q:
Who runs the gaming tables? A: Several of my friends like to run the
games. Each takes an hour shift at a table, so they can also enjoy playing
games during the party. If you are familiar with the rules of blackjack,
poker, roulette, or craps and can take a shift, please let me know, as I can
always use more dealers*. Q: What if I don't know
how to play the games? A: Blackjack, poker, roulette, and craps
rules are online, and printed rules sheets are
available at the party. Also, the dealers and other players will be happy to
teach you. This is a great place to learn a new game, since you aren't losing
real money (like in Las Vegas). Plus, our odds are better than in a real
casino. Q: What if I'm not sure
I can be there? A: You can RSVP
as a "probably" or a "maybe". This helps me get a better
head count so I can have enough food, prizes, and blackjack dealers. In the
end, just show up at the party if you can. I won't turn you away. :-) Q:
Will there be food at the party? A: We will be serving hors d’oeuvres and
snacks as well as wine, beer, soda, and other drinks. Q: What should I bring
to the party? A: NOTHING. Please don't bring wine or other gifts unless you
clear it first with the host. (Send e-mail to casino@gwennap.com.) We have plenty
of stuff already. Your presence is the greatest gift to us. Thanks! A: Men, wear a coat and a tie or a full
suit. If you wear a tuxedo*, you won't be
the only one. Women, wear a nice evening dress or a dress suit. Women who
need further fashion advice should check out the photo
gallery*. Q: Do I have to dress
up? A: No, but most people at the party do.
It's a great excuse to break out that nice dress or suit that you don't wear
very much. But if you really don't like wearing fancy clothes, dress as nice
as you can. Just don't be embarassed if you are the only one there in jeans. Q: Are children welcome
at the party? A: As this is a formal event, we prefer
that you make other arrangements for your children. If this is a problem,
please contact the host. Teenagers may attend if they plan to associate with
the adults, play the casino games, and behave maturely. Teenagers can also
volunteer to help deal. |
