Determine how much space you have for the casino game tables so you rent the number that can fit in your party room.

Take the insurance. Most equipment will come with an optional insurance policy covering damage. It's usually only a few bucks extra, but provides complete peace of mind.

Expect to pay a deposit, around 50 percent, when you reserve the equipment. The remaining balance is usually paid when the equipment is delivered. Check into the cancellation policy before reserving casino equipment.

Hire dealers who are experienced and quick for larger casino parties. You want to keep the action going. This service is often available through the casino equipment rental company.
It is illegal to run an actual "casino" out of your house. Check your local laws and ordinances as they vary by state. But the rule of thumb is that playing for actual money is against the law.

I used Jack of all Spades for a Casino Night that I planned for my company, and they are based out of the Hamilton area in Ontario, Canada. They were fantastic and as this article suggests, they have dealers, do the set up and take down for you, have lots of games to choose from, etc. They were recommended to me by two other friends who used them last year. I will definitely be using them again for my brother's stag and doe coming up this summer.
