News, Announcements and Views on Recent Casino Events
We're busy, busy, busy! As a premier fun casino and corporate events company, we're always involved in something exciting and (of course) fun. Here's a few of the most recent news and views from the wacky world of fun casinos:-
Happy Halloween in Melksham in Aid of Breast Cancer Charity
30-Oct-2009
The Melksham Assembly Rooms in Wiltshire was the
host venue to the 2009 Wayne's World of Fashion Halloween Party. Wayne Palmer, of Wayne's World of Fashion in Trowbridge, has organised
Halloween parties for many years in aid of the Breast Cancer Care charity.
This year's event was a great success with a fun crowd enjoying a great night out. Casino-To-Go provided Roulette and Black Jack tables along
with 6 foot high flame-effect silk lights and casino themed materials.
Guests started with 500 Funs (our own fun money currency) that was included in their ticket price. If they ran out, they bought another 500 Funs for a fiver (all of which went to the nominated charity, Breast Cancer Care) and the fun continued. Competing for prizes added an edge but everyone was very conscious of what they were there for: some fun while supporting a worthy charity. Players were very generous and Wayne also managed to raise awareness of the work that Breast Cancer Care undertakes for those affected by breast cancer.
With over 80 guests enjoying the event, the party had a great Halloween atmosphere. If you had the chance to go and missed it, you blew it!
The venue bar staff were in the groove too, making efforts to dress-up as witches for the occassion. The Halloween decorations took many hours with
Wayne and his friends working hard to carve over 30 pumpkins. The Jack'O'Lanterns, autumn leaves, spider's webs, coloured lighting and strong
orange and black colour theme worked together to create the classic Halloween atmosphere.
The party finished at the witching hour with the winners of the Fun Casino event and raffles collecting their prizes. A fun night out with a great disco and dancing - a perfect Halloween! A big 'Well Done!' to Wayne and his wonderful supporting friends!
Summer Ball at RAF Boscombe Down, Wiltshire
10-July-2009
Casino-To-Go provided four tables for the annual summer ball at Boscombe Down. Over 300 guests attended the ball that also included a full
size cocktail bar, a band and a disco. The party theme was The Wild West and our croupiers dressed accordingly!
The party went on long in to the night after our team had left – helped by beautiful July weather! They said:
“Your Casino Tables were very well received and your team were extremely professional, even helping out with running a ‘prize giving’
for the biggest ‘high-rollers’. A most enjoyable evening was had by all and the Casino was kept busy all night.
Your staff managed to set up and clear-up afterwards with the absolute minimum of disruption to the rest of the party, which was continuing
afterwards. All-in-all, Casino-to-Go has left a positive impression with RAF Boscombe Down Officers’ Mess and I will personally be commending
your company to the organisers of subsequent events.
Many Thanks.”
Wedding Bells Ring Loud in Stanton Fitzwarren
2-Aug-2008
The splendid Stanton House Hotel in Stanton Fitzwarren, Swindon was host to the wedding party of Lee and Kelly. A fine, sunny day with cloudless skies provided a great backdrop to their special day. A Casino-To-Go event team was delighted to provide an entertaining fun casino of three tables (roulette, black jack and dice) for the newlyweds and their guests. A great time was had by everyone, with some lucky players. The overall winner was a very young lady of some eight years old - now you know why real casinos don't allow people under 18 (or 21 in Las Vegas, Nevada) to play! Our congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Bampfield and we wish them a long and happy marriage.
Ryan's Recruitment Rave
28-July-2008
Ryan McKinlay, owner of Premier Recruitment of Southampton, celebrated in style on Saturday with a big birthday bash celebrating the big '30' and another successful year for his recruitment agency. Ryan enjoyed the company of his friends, family and employees at the Quindell Golf and Country Club - a prestigious and well planned venue near Fareham and Portsmouth, Hampshire. Ryan had planned a number of entertainments for his guests including the superb live contemporary music of OluShola. Casino-To-Go was engaged to provide fun casino gaming tables and a range of 007 theme graphics and props for the big event. From a start of 500 Funs (our fun money demonination), a chap called Tim was the lucky winner with a total of 36,400 Funs won in the 3 hours of play. Well done Tim and enjoy the prize (a week in a holiday villa in Spain).
Jason's Big Fun Birthday
26-July-2008
The guests were enjoying Pims on the lawn. The sky over Chesterfield was clear and the sun was shining. Suddenly, the noise of a fast approaching helicopter
broke the tranquility of the gorgeous Saturday afternoon. It swept in across the field and approached the hotel lawn, hovering briefly before
a perfect touchdown. Out stepped Jason Plews and immediately staff from the excellent Ringwood Hall Hotel
were on hand with an ice-cool Vodka Martini, (shaken, not stirred). The perfect beginning of a birthday to remember.
Jason was "Bond for a day" and this was just the start of a stunning, fun-filled party. Jason had selected Casino-To-Go to provide a fun casino and James Bond theming for his special birthday. We were delighted and it was fun decorating parts of the sumptuous Ringwood Hall Hotel with silk flame-effect lights, 007 film strips, and giant James Bond cards featuring all of the aces. Happy birthday Jason and many happy returns!
Casino Party Fun for Wiltshire Yeomanry
21-July-2008
Casino-To-Go was proud to be involved in providing great entertainment for the officers and men of the Royal Wiltshire Yeomanry (Prince of Wales' Own), a key part of the Territorial Army. With so many of our troops, part-time and regular, involved in deployments on operations around the World, it's more important than ever that they have fun in their recreation time. Our casino games provided with some great fun with (for once) no real risks. We at Casino-To-Go wish them good luck and safe journeys wherever they go.
Red Carpet Treatement for IX Supply Regiment, RLC!
17-July-2008
Recently home from Afghanistan,
IX Supply Regiment,
Royal Logistics Corps have been getting used to life back at home. Their base at Buckley Barracks, Hulavington here in Wiltshire
became host to a party extravaganza as they celebrated their return. And that's where we came in. Casino-To-Go provided 5 fun casino tables and Vegas props for their
Las Vegas Casino themed evening. It was great fun for all who attended and guests enjoyed the risky delights of Casino War, Roulette, Black Jack
and Caribbean Stud Poker with Vegas style. And what's Las Vegas without Elvis? So of course 'Elvis' was there to do a few of his greatest hits.
The red carpet and barriers at the entrance provided the guys and girls with that VIP touch - justly deserved. Welcome home!

Sheldon School Leavers' Ball - Congratulations and Good Luck!
14-May-2008
or
For the third year running, Casino-To-Go has provided fun casino services to
Sheldon School in Chippenham, Wiltshire. Their 2008 Leavers' Ball (or Graduation Ball as
it's sometimes called) was a big success. They had a great time playing casino games including Roulette, Black Jack and Dice. As with any casino, there
were only a few players who did really well so we hope they learned that real gambling is a mug's game! The venue was Grittleton House, Wiltshire which
has a great deal of the atmosphere of Harry Potter's school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Hogwarts.
