Casino Parties by Show Biz productions is the recipient of the Best Solution To Logistical Issue, awarded by the National Association of Casino Party Operators. Casino Parties by Show Biz Productions is proud to announce that they are the recipient of the 2019 Best Solution to a Logistical Issue, presented by the National Association of Casino Party Operators (NACPO). This award honors the leaders in the Casino Party Operator business. Casino Parties by Show Biz Productions has excelled in the Best Solution to Logistical Issue category. This award-winning event was held on Wednesday, December 12th at at the Sax Dinner Theater and Lounge...a refurbished club that specializes in comedy and burlesque shows. The task was to find room for 2 Craps tables, a Double Roulette, 7 Blackjack tables, 2 Poker tables, a Wheel of Fortune, 5 slot machines, and 250 guests. In an arena with fixed tables and limited spacing, we had our work cut out for us. There wasn't enough room for our large 14' Craps table so we had to use two 6' Craps tables to accommodate. Four of the Blackjacks and a Money Wheel were placed downstairs in alcoves in one of the few locations where tables weren't bolted in. On the second floor, there was a landing that could hold our Double Roulette. Slot machines were placed on every available ledge and bar top. With all available spacing full, that left the question of where to place the two Poker tables. We found two upholstered, curved booths with seating on an open end to fit a dealer. We solved the biggest issue by placing a Poker felt onto the immovable table. To my surprise, the guests loved the closed quarters atmosphere of our Poker "tables" and the booths were full all night. Sometimes, this business allows us the opportunity to observe the uniquest venues our cities have to offer, and we have the chance to pull off their events! The NACPO members voted on the winner of this award.

According to the Washington Post: “Americans have forgotten to have true fun.; as though they have misplaced it like a sock.” Not only does the team at Show Biz Productions know how to have fun, we provide the vehicle to have fun. Unfortunately, people are addicted to their phones and "smart" devices in lieu of making real, true connections. We create an environment for people to put away their devices and truly interact all in the spirit of fun. The most effective way we do this is through our Casino Parties at which people have the opportunity to play authentic Casino games for both fun and prizes. It’s the original social network as people pocket their devices, learn social skills, statistical skills as well as well as having interactions with each other: all for FUN! As no real money is involved, it gives everyone the opportunity to be a high roller and a big spender without suffering the consequences. At the end of the night, they have the opportunity to win a memento of the night that they broke the bank. At that point, if they want to return to their devices, they can now take a selfie with their big stack of chips and share the fun with their friends and family!

In the high-stakes world of corporate celebrations, Show Biz Productions recently hit the jackpot with an electrifying event for Power Design's Billion Dollar Bash. As Power Design celebrated a remarkable milestone, the Show Biz Productions team ensured the festivities were nothing short of a dazzling spectacle! Over the course of an olympian three day set-up, Show Biz Productions transformed the Power Design headquarters into a glamorous Casino wonderland filled with nearly 100 tables and slot machines, with a red carpet entrance that set the tone for the unforgettable evening. The venue sparkled with high-energy lighting, vibrant décor, and the unmistakable buzz of excitement that only a 80+ table Casino Party could inspire. Power Design's 1500 guests were treated to the full Casino experience; complete with professionally trained dealers and a variety of classic games. Blackjack, Poker, Craps, and Roulette tables were strategically placed throughout the massive venue, offering an immersive and entertaining atmosphere for guests to try their luck. Just beyond the Casino pit, the dance floor pulsated with energy, further enhancing the aura of celebration and camaraderie. In the competitive landscape of event planning, Show Biz Productions once again was able to prove its prowess by orchestrating a Billion Dollar Bash that will be remembered for years to come. For your next event, we hope that you trust Show Biz Productions to turn your celebration into a show-stopping extravaganza that leaves a billion dollar impression!

After conducting numerous studies, a team of Cornell University psychologists concluded that experiences bring more long-lasting happiness than material possessions; each meaningful experience was found to contribute to our identity and provide multiple stages of happiness before, during, and after the event. The memories will last a lifetime. Therefore, you might want to consider throwing a Casino Party for your next social event being either a special birthday, anniversary, retirement party, Bar or Bat Mitzvah, graduation party, sweet 16, quinceanera, engagement party or just a gathering of friends. The mock casino provides a comfortable environment for your guests for all in the spirit of fun. The memories of these parties will last for a lifetime so you will experience multiple stages of happiness and enjoy the memories that can be relived and prolong the happiness gained from your new experience. 

On February 2nd, 2023, we had the pleasure of providing our Casino Entertainment at Orioles Park at Camden Yards. The casino was well received and attended by current Orioles players. Also in attendance was their exciting new prospect, Gunnar Henderson, as well as Hall of Famer, the great Jim Palmer! It was an exciting night for the fans as the team is headed to their Spring headquarters in Sarasota, Florida. Everyone is looking forward to the upcoming season, as our thoughts turn to baseball and the prospects of the buzzworthy Orioles team. The event was a phenomenal success, and everyone received $100,000 in Orioles Bucks (the casino night's "funny money"). The Orioles bird flew in, and a little birdie told us that he really enjoys playing the casino games and posing for photos with fans. The night concluded with prizes, raffles, and Orioles memorabilia for the guests to take home to enjoy as a memento of the evening.
