Since ’staying in’ has become the acceptable new ‘going out’, the main challenge we now face is how to keep friends and family entertained when they pop round for a glass of vino on a Saturday night. Sure, there are dinner parties, karaoke nights or even pictionary, but let’s be honest, some of these are a little passé…
One idea may well be to jump on the bandwagon and embrace one of the the fastest growing trends for home parties, which is hosting a poker or casino night.
The uninitiated need have no fear: a poker night home party will not break the bank and you can bet on the fact that everyone will have a great time. However, the host is all too often overlooked when it comes to joining in the party games, so the best way to deal with this is to hire a card dealer for your home poker party. This way you can relax and join in the fun, knowing your guests will be guided through the game, entertained and have someone to whom to refer all their questions (and occasionally to arbitrate) … and that doesn’t have to be you!
So, what should you look for in a poker dealer and where can you find a card dealer for your home party? Most card dealers, poker dealers or croupiers enter the profession possessing good interpersonal skills. A qualified card dealer (and you really do want a qualified person) will have undergone an intensive training course and be accredited and in possession of a Gambling License from the Gambling Commission. This means that the poker dealer will be adept at dealing, handling chips, and handling people. A qualified croupier will possess quick thinking and the ability to handle even the most difficult of customers. So guiding your party through a poker game will be as simple as a roll of the dice for them! Natural born entertainers, card dealers usually love being around people and are well versed in putting people at ease, so a great card dealer will mean a great party, which of course will reflect well upon you as the host.
Looks are important and you can expect your card dealer to be well turned out. As well as hiring out their services you may well be hiring out their equipment. This means professional decks of cards, chips and poker tables. The cost of hiring a dealer can start from as little as £15 per hour, although there is usually a minimum booking period of three hours. It is essential that you examine a card dealer’s profile and pick out the perfect person for your party and for the personalities of your guests. Read customer feedback to ensure satisfaction and browse pictures from gallery profiles to whet your appetite and as vital input to your decision.
