Moose PCA Casino Night
Setup:
18 people, 6 people per game. Attendees are encouraged to dress the part of a high roller or character from any casino movie. $40 buyin per person for 4000 chips. Rake free, all monies will be paid out as below.
If you do not know the games they will be briefly explained to you at the beginning of each session. If you completely do not understand a game, please arrive early for a longer introduction to the game.
Games are:
$5 minimum, $100 max roulette
$5 minimum, $25 max, 5x odds craps
$5 minimum, $100 max, blackjack
One dealer needed for craps and one dealer needed for blackjack. Dealers will be provided by the host. Roulette will be self-dealt by one person from each group, unless a 3rd dealer is found.
Games will be dealt for one hour with six people per game. Then there will be a 10 min break for colour ups and chip fills if needed. Then the players will rotate to a new game as per the schedule below. After everyone has played all three games, then the casino pit will close and the chips will be counted. If you go broke you are out, though I suppose you could beg someone for chips. However there will be no combining of stacks at the conclusion of the evening. The top three chip stacks will win a 50/30/20 split of the prize pool (18x$40 = $720 or $360/$220/$140)
Following the casino night, the poker table will open for a $2/4 limit cash game, min. buyin is $40. Players are encouraged to reserve a seat at the poker table ahead of time if they wish to participate, seating is limited. Rake free.

I still have to do some building this weekend but you get the idea:

Prophet :2h :2s
PS glasses in the car in the blue bag. Doh memory is a little sivvy these days!
I spent a marathon weekend at my parents building tables to be ready for this. Dammit I left my dice stick behind and I need some more finishing touches but we are good to go!!!!
I really wanted to take more construction photos but it really was hectic. I can't believe I had a staple gun break and took it apart trying to fix it, gave up when about 100 pieces of plastic fell out. Then bought a new staple gun, but it was basically broken out of the box, and also took it apart trying to get it to work. Gave up, bought a second staple gun but because of the clearances, it was too big to staple what I wanted without completely taking apart the table. So in the end my Dad found about a 40 year old hand stapler and I went like a madman trying to make up lost time. So I have a functional table but not nearly as far as I wanted to go with it.
First, roulette table prepped and ready for cutting:
Roulette table done. It came out almost perfect.
Craps table components, almost ready for assy.
First corner done.
Ta Da! A functional craps table. A few pieces of trim need to go on. Someday I'd like to build a top rail and varnish the bottom drink rail. I have some hot looking fabric to cover the sides too. But hey, it works!
Looking forward to it!
Brent
So are you playing?
Work continues on the craps table, which shall henceforth be known as: "black beauty". One side almost done.
This shot right here alone makes all the work worthwhile.
Next up: the far side.
Stain/clearcoat in one product. Oil based, but I think they used Soya oil so it's almost no odour. Fast dry time. Minimal prep as I didn't have to bring everything back to bare wood. I just used it to do an incredibly ornate handrail and spindles for a customer. We went with 4 coats, the grain is beautiful and the sheen is like glass, thus very durable.
Just a suggestion.
PS. The pics are incredible, I'm sure you guys will have a great time.
I have one thanks.
The setup.
Roulette, with my sad little wheel and D cell battery for the point marker.
The Hard Rock layout is so cool.
First game was blackjack. $4000 starting stacks.
The last hand of the blackjack round.
Crazy final hand. 3 double downs and a triple split with another double down.
You guessed it. 4 J 7.
Eight players and it was a bit of a challenge coming up with 8 solid colours so I put a rack of Crystal Parks in play.
Final spin roulette. Go big or go home.
My POS plastic wheel actually worked ok. Silicone lubricant FTW!
Waltsfriend wanted a picture. I can edit this some more if this is not ok. Thanks for dealing.
Wait. I thought Ontario casinos didn't have free booze?
Thanks to everyone for dressing up.
On to craps!
Ok. I have a dice stick but it got left behind at my parents. So a good Canadian substitutes a hockey stick.
Moose's Casino is rigged.
1st place $7082.
I especially like my two new drink trays.
Mark
We can be a couple
Lol. Dammit I forgot them!
I'll get them whenever.
Thanks for the pics Moose, they are great. You should use a hockey stick all the time
When are you going to start to take orders for custom casino gear?
