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. This Association is made up of 50 companies nationwide that produce charity Casino Fun Nights or fundraisers for a wide variety of worthwhile causes. The 2019 conference was held at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas. The companies in attendance are the leaders in the Fun Night industry.

With men in suits and women in 1920's flapper outfits, Shucker's at the Gulfshore and Cottage Bar celebrated 100 years of being on the beach Saturday with a casino-themed party that paid homage to its roots and raised money for Fort Myers Beach Elementary School. Patrons gathered around poker tables, blackjack tables, a craps table and a roulette wheel as part of the fundraising efforts for the school. Guests purchased play money, with the biggest winners earning prizes such as weekend getaway vacations and jet ski rentals while the band Smack Daddy played music from the The Cars and Eddie Money. "We are just absolutely blown away at the response from the community," Shucker's General Manager Brian Nagle said. "I think this is what Fort Myers Beach needed right now," he said. "It's just a great way for everybody to come together for teachers and students." The owners of Shucker's were all in town for the festivities, with co-owners Greta Reinfried-Corazza and Dana Gosford remarking on how much times have changed since their arrival on the Beach in the 1960's when they attended Fort Myers Beach Elementary School.
