Frequently Asked Questions
How much space do I need per table?
Allow at least 100 square feet around each table for players and dealers to move comfortably.
Can we use real money?
No. Use chips that convert to prize entries only. Real-money gambling is restricted at corporate venues.
Do we need a gambling license?
Usually not, because chips have no cash value and prizes are non-monetary. Check local charity-gaming rules if tickets are sold.
