Because we are a really nice bunch of people and we really go out of our way to ensure your event is a huge success. We take ridiculous pride in what we do – it’s what makes our business a success, and it’s what makes people rebook our services time and time again. There’s something about the quality of our service that makes people remember who we are and want to involve us in future events, and it’s the biggest compliment ever when we are rebooked. People are impressed not only with our equipment (which is immaculate and authentic) but also with the friendliness and charismatic humour our croupiers are blessed with! They are often what makes the evening a huge success, as they banter with guests and raise the atmosphere effortlessly at the gaming tables. We are very particular about who we hire to run our tables, because we know how important it is to the event as a whole. When you book Harlequin Fun Casino, you can be sure that you’ll be getting a whole team of experts at your event who want nothing more than to make you and your guests really happy. We can’t say fairer than that now can we?
Roulette Table Hire
Once again, the Roulette tables were practically on fire yesterday as we tempted and teased the residents of our favourite senior citizen’s club with our fun casino madness! We’re becoming something of a firm favourite at these social gatherings, and as much as it’s an absolute pleasure to entertain such a lovely, bubbly and vivacious group of misfits, I can’t help feeling a little shocked at how readily our elders and betters fight tooth and nail to come out with the most fun money and beat each other into the ground – metaphorically speaking of course. There’s nothing like a bit of friendly competition, but it must be said that sibling rivalry can’t help but rear its ugly head at the roulette table, as proven by Janet and June, sisters who played alongside each other; sparks flew, tensions were raised, and eventually, it was the elder of the two, Janet who stole the title of the Harlequin High Roller, banking a cool $2,200 before retiring from the roulette table for s spot of tea and a home-made cake. Not one to run away from her debts, June picked up the tab. That woman’s integrity knows no bounds. Thanks again for having us ladies and gents. Just goes to show, you’re never too old to hire a fun casino.
How to Play Blackjack for Fun
Because I am surrounded by fun casino games every day of my life, I am always a little amazed when I meet someone who has never played Blackjack or Roulette and is completely unaware of the rules of the game. I try to think back to a time when I didn’t know the first thing about casino games – and it just makes me realise how much money I wasted like a fool on the casino tables in Las Vegas when I first went, so I try not to think about it too often! However, there’s a first time for everything, and the term “beginner’s luck” must have been coined at the blackjack table! It’s amazing how much you can win when you don’t know the first thing about blackjack! The risks you take unknowingly that pay off and the crazy bets you put down that pay dividends. Of course, it’s amazing how much you can lose playing that way too. (see my previous comment). It’s just really amusing to watch somebody to hit 19, take a card and hit 20, then watch the gawping mouths of the other players as the beginner scoops up her winnings in delight after seeing the dealer stand on a 19, not knowing how or why this just happened, nor knowing just how close she was to losing the lot! I often think that the more you know about Blackjack, the worse a player you become – until you get so good that you’re able to card count of course (which is highly illegal in regular play and is in no way condoned by either myself or my croupiers – ahem ahem.) Anyhoo, if you’re one of these lucky few who is unfamiliar with the rules of the game, take a look at my article how to play blackjack and learn the rules for yourself. Don’t bother with strategy at this point – apparently you’ll make all the best mistakes to begin with and come out quids in. Of course, there’s no guarantee here, it’s just a wild observation. I had to learn what on Earth I was doing before I made any dollar on the blackjack table. But we can’t all be lucky now can we? Some of us have to work for our money whilst you drive off into the Nevada sunset with hundred dollar bills stuffed into a suitcase, headed for Reno… A girl can only dream.
Fun Casino Party in Hamble-le-Rice
We had a fabulous evening in one of the most beautiful places in the South of England last night, Hamble le Rice. About 10 minutes from where Halrequin are based, Hamble is a gorgeous little marina teeming with fabulous drinking holes and restaurants. If you’ve never been to Hamble, you simply must go if you’re local (or even if you’re not!). It’s a lovely day out, with such picturesque views and so much to see and do. There are boat trips from the marina every hour on the hour, and tickets cost as little as £6 for a 40 minute boat trip. What a lovely way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. If you’re a Hamble resident and you’re planning an event, or you’re holding an event close to Hamble, we’d love to entertain your guests, so if you’re looking for something special to really spoil your guests, we’ll be happy to help you!

Las Vegas Themed Party
Yesterday we had the very great pleasure of hosting a fun casino party with a Las Vegas theme in Farnham. It was a great party, and the hostess went to a lot of effort to ensure the party was as authentic as possible, hence the reason she hired Harlequin’s fun casino tables! (brag brag!!) It was a lot of fun, and with 150 guests to entertain, we took along three casino tables including Blackjack and Roulette, and it went down a storm with all the guests. If you are in need of some fun casino tables for your party, take a look at our recent blog entry which will tell you all you need to know about how to hire a fun casino.
