3 Ways to Gamble Responsibly At Your Work Party

Posted on Updated on

For most people, the idea of gambling responsibly means knowing “when to quit,” so that whether you come out on top or not, you don’t feel bad about your time spent at the tables. Because gambling can be such a rush, sometimes it’s hard to say “when.” We here at Aces Up Casino Parties want you to have as much fun as possible gambling, and feel responsible while you do! So here are our tips for managing your time at the tables.

1.    Treat It as Entertainment Only

One of the single best things you can do for yourself when playing the odds is not to take things too seriously. It’s meant to be fun, so focus on having fun! This is also easier to do when you include family, friends or colleagues in the experience.

2.    Know the Odds

It’s much easier to be comfortable with gambling results if you understand the odds ahead of time and can accept them.

3.    Give Yourself Limits

Whether it’s in time or money, it’s a good idea to set limits for yourself when gambling so that you have more control over your experience. When you reach that limit, you can take some time to spectate and have fun that way, too.

Whatever your game, the card tables, the dice tables or roulette, AcesUp offers an amazing and entertaining experience for your parties and events. Visit our site for our current internet specials or to request a proposal today!

Great Occasions For Casino Parties

Posted on Updated on

687404227 Casino table equipmentSomething of a break from most party traditions, casino parties are growing in popularity as people are discovering ways to have the same fun casino experience without putting their bank accounts at risk. Your friends at Aces Up Casino Parties are here to give you some ideas for taking advantage of the fun you can have at a casino party by giving you some occasions to celebrate!

Fundraising

One of the most popular ways to host a casino party is as a fundraiser. The occasion is already all about raising money, but a fundraising casino party lets the guests get in on the fun, and enjoy putting down a little money for the cause.

Corporate Reward

An exciting incentive for company employees or a sales team is the opportunity to be a part of a party. Nothing is more rewarding than walking away from a party with more cash in your pocket – even if it’s just play money!

Side Party

Another really fun way to have a casino party is to have it alongside the main event. Having a Super Bowl or playoff celebration, but not all the guests are into sports? Set out a couple of tables on the side where they can indulge in some card games during the big game.

Wedding Reception

Recently, a lot of couples have taken a shine to the idea of adding some entertaining stakes to their receptions. Having the bride kick off the festivities by throwing the first roll at the craps table is always a great picture moment.

If you’re looking for ideas for your next party, from big events to family affairs, AcesUp offers a variety of tables for your gaming needs. Visit our site for our current internet specials or to request a proposal today!

How to Perfect Your Poker Face

Posted on

Poker Faces

Imagine you’re in a high-stakes game and are confident you have the winning hand. But wait, can you keep your opponents’ guessing? Keeping a straight face is harder than you think, but if you can learn to control even the smallest tics in both your facial expressions and body language, you can emerge victorious.

Relax Your Face: Your facial expressions are the first giveaway, making it imperative that you master the art of relaxation. You don’t want to clench your jaw and appear overly tense over the cards in your hand. Before you start the game, take a deep breath and clear your mind.

Focus Your Eyes: Show the other players that you are confident and intimidating by making eye contact throughout the game. Be careful though, you don’t want to come across as overly concerned about your current hand. If you’re worried that you’re line of sight might be a weak point, toss on a pair of sunglasses and play it cool the whole game through.

Master Your Body Language: You may be able to keep your facial expressions clear, but the charade doesn’t stop there. Body language works in tandem and again, relaxation is key. Shake out any tension and settle into a natural, upright position. Be sure to avoid any unnecessary fidgeting including tapping, pulling on your clothing, or rubbing your hands together.

Don’t Shout About It: Your voice is also a potential giveaway to your opponents. Keep an even, balanced tone to avoid a nervous quiver or an excited change in octave. If you suspect your voice will give you away, simply nodding or shaking your head will do in a pinch.

If you’re ready to show off your new poker face skills, we’d love to host your next party. From big events to family affairs, AcesUp offers a variety of tables for your gaming needs. Visit our site for our current internet specials or to request a proposal today!

Break from Tradition and Make It Your Own

Bride playing poker

Congratulations on being engaged! Planning a wedding is an exciting thing to do, but it can also be very stressful. There are a lot of things to consider like time and date, venue, refreshments, guest count, and officiator. And those are just the logistics. Beyond that are details like dresses, hair, accessories, tuxes, flowers, decorations, etc.

Your wedding is an opportunity for you and your soon-to-be-spouse to showcase your personalities in a celebration featuring you, but it can sometimes be difficult to find a balance between what you want and what your traditionalist grandmother or mother insists on.

Are you wanting to plan a wedding that breaks from tradition? While it may be important to you that you incorporate traditional items (something borrowed, something blue…), you don’t have to stick to a traditional theme. Make your wedding an event that not only you, but guests will remember for years to come by having a casino themed wedding.

Attire: Go for an all-out James Bond look. No fluffy, pastry-like dress needed. Opt for a lighter, sleek, and sexy wedding dress and bodycon bridesmaid dresses. Have the groom and groomsmen wear fitted tuxes and invite guests to dress to help set the atmosphere.

Entertainment: At Aces Up Casino Parties we offer delivery, setup, and break down of a number of popular casino games. Choose from craps, roulette, blackjack, Texas Hold’em, and even more! Our packages range from small to large groups and we come to any venue that you choose from your own backyard to the hotel grand room of your favorite San Francisco Bay Area hotel.

Refreshments: We know that nothing goes better with a casino night than alcohol. That’s why we now offer bar services including a light-up bar, quality bartenders, and all the bar tools needed for a night to remember.

Decorations: To complete your casino themed wedding celebration, we also offer custom LED-lit table signs for all of our tables except poker and they’re free with your booking!

Don’t spend all of your time planning and prepping, enjoy being engaged and leave the hard work to us! For more information about our current internet specials or to request a proposal, visit us at www.acesup.com.
